Structural Analysis Lecture 6

Chapter 2 of the document discusses the analysis of statically determinate structures, focusing on tributary loading and its transmission through structural elements. It explains the concept of one-way systems, using examples to illustrate how loads are distributed to supporting beams. An example calculation for a classroom floor supported by bar joists is provided, detailing the dead and live loads acting on the joists.

CHAPTER 2:
ANALYSIS OF STATICALLY
DETERMINATE
STRUCTURES
Tributary Loading

• When flat surfaces such as walls, floors,


or roofs are supported by a structural
frame, it is necessary to determine how
the load on these surfaces is transmitted
to the various structural elements used
for their support.
• There are generally two ways in
which this can be done.
• The choice depends on the geometry of
the structural system, the material from

Tributary Loading-One Way
System
• A slab or deck that is supported such that it delivers
its load to the supporting members by one-way
action, is often referred to as a one-way slab.
Tributary Loading-One Way
System
• To illustrate the method of load transmission,
consider the framing system shown in Fig. a where
the beams AB, CD, and EF rest on the girders AE
and BF.
• If a uniform load of 100 lb/ is placed on the slab,
then the center beam CD is assumed to support the
load acting on the tributary area shown dark
shaded on the structural framing plan in Fig. b.
Tributary Loading-One Way
System
• Member CD is therefore subjected to a linear
distribution of load of (100 lb/)*(5 ) = 500 lb/ft, shown on
the idealized beam in c.
• The reactions on this beam (2500 lb) would then be
applied to the center of the girders AE (and BF),
shown idealized in Fig. d.
• Using this same concept, do you see how the
remaining portion of the slab loading is transmitted
to the ends of the girder as 1250 lb?

Tributary Loading
Example 2.1
• The floor of a classroom is to be
supported by the bar joists shown in
Fig.
• Each joist is 15 ft long and they are
spaced 2.5 ft on centers.
• The floor itself is to be made from
lightweight concrete that is 4 in.
thick.
• Neglect the weight of the joists and
the corrugated metal deck, and
determine the load that acts along
each joist.
Example 2.1
Given Data:
• Tributary area for each joist 2.5 ft
• Length of joist 15 ft
• Used as a Classroom room floor ⇒ L.L = 4O psf
(Table 1.4)
• Lightweight concrete material used ⇒ D.L = 8
lbs/ft2.inch (Table 1.3)
Example 2.1
SOLUTION
• Total Dead load = 4inch * 8 lbs/ft2.inch = 32 lb/ft2
• Total floor load = 32 + 40 = 72 lb/ft2
• For the floor system L2 = 15 ft & L1 = 2.5 ft
• Since L2/L1 = 6 > 2
• Therefore, the concrete slab is treated as one way
slab.
