EXAMPLE 5. NEW BUILDING DESIGN FROM LOAD-BEARING MASONRY

EXAMPLE 5: 'DESIGN OF A LOAD-BEARING MASONRY BUILDING' 33 3. IMPORTATION OF GOODS Through the " Loads " Module and the " Member Loads " command group by selecting the " Insert " command, it is possible to insert loads on the surface or on the nodes. In this example, in order to assign the loads of the plate that houses the girder to the perimeter nodes, you follow the following procedure: • First we calculate permanent and mobile loads of the plate: Slab area 95 m2 x slab thickness 0,2 m =19 m3 / Concrete 25 KN/m3 19 m3 x 25 KN/m3 =475KN Plate diameter 40m with nodes every 0,3m= 133 nodes 475/133=3,75 KN/node Additional permanent coating 2 KN/m2 2 KN/m2 2 KN/m2 x 95 m2=190 KN 190/133=1,40 KN/node TOTAL ONLY 5,15 KN/node Mobile 2KN/m2 TOTAL MOVING 1,40 KN/node • Rotate the vector with the help of the command (Section "Appearance">> "Views") • Select the • With window select all the nodes of the upper level • Press the right mouse button and in the dialog box, Select: Permanent - Node, Powers, Type: 5,15 KN
