Figure Q2 Shows The Plan View Of An Exhibition Center And The Plan And Elevation View Of An Approach Bridge Connected To 1 (81.72 KiB) Viewed 30 times
FIGURE Q2 shows the plan view of an exhibition center and the plan and elevation view of an approach bridge connected to the exhibition center. The floor slab of the exhibition center is designed for a combination of live load, and the dead load applied uniformly distributed throughout the floor. The approach bridge is designed for a moving live load, W, illustrated in the elevation of the approach bridge shown in FIGURE Q2. All dimensions shown in FIGURE Q2 and the value of axle live load, W, are defined in the NOTE at the end of the question. The client has invited a structural consultant to design the exhibition center and the approach bridge. You are part of the design team. You are assigned to perform the structural analysis of the bridge and exhibition center. It is required to analyze the external and internal beams as indicated. Also, analyze beam MB for the given moving load. Prepare a technical report for the scope of analysis defined in the above paragraph. Assign an appropriate value of dead load and the live load on the exhibition floor, the moment of inertia, I, and the value of modulus of elasticity, E, of construction material. The external and internal beam analysis requires justification of the analysis method. It should be supported with the bending moment and shear force diagrams. The analysis for moving load should include the influence lines for support reactions, shear force, and bending moment. Also, provide the values of maximum bending moment and the shear force using the relevant influence line.
NOTE: x = 10 m, and W = 80 kN, and y = (x/2) m
