Question 5) Determine the largest bending moments inside each span and at each support and the largest shear force values that are produced by different loaded span combinations for different loaded span combinations on the main walkway, it is assumed that the whole of the span from building Cis loaded with the variable action). Tabulate these values clearly showing the load case that has produced each set of values. 1. List and present all load cases 2. BM including BMD, Max BM for each load case 3. SF including SFD 4. Table / Envelopes of Max BM, SF 5. Presentation, Excel development, others For the analysis assume: • The span from building C to the main walkway is simply supported and has a span length of 20m. It applies a point load through a support to the main walkway at 12m from the parabolic cantilever support (See Appendix C). The main walkway has a pin support at one end and a roller support at the other end; it is suspended by straight cables from the parabolic cantilever and arch (See Appendix C). The unfactored variable action on the walkway is 5kN/m' (15kN/m length). The unfactored self weight of the walkway and handrails is 20kN/m length.
