VERIFICATION EXAMPLES FOR SCADA Pro

Software Verification Examples for SCADA Pro 13 A2.3. Three Dimensional Steel Frame Structure Problem Description A three dimensional steel frame subjected to vertical loading is examined (Figure A2.3.1). Geometry, Properties and Loads The cross section of columns is IPE-450 and of inclined and horizontal members is IPE-330. Footing’s dimensions are 150cmx150cmx50cm for each vertical member (column) and ground stiffness is 100kPa/cm. Self-weight is taken into account (ε s =78.5kN/m 3 ) and inclined members are subjected to distributed vertical load of 10kN/m. Modulus of elasticity of the material is 210GPa and Poisson ratio is 0.30. Figure A2.3.1. Three Dimensional Steel Frame Structure. Assumptions During analysis, shear deformations are neglected. Section properties are automatically recovered from the cross section library of ScadaPro and have been presented in previous example. Technical Features in ScadaPro Tested  Three – dimensional analysis of beam elements  Inclined beams under vertical loading  Flexible boundary conditions
