INTRODUCTION 1.1
Science and Technology
1 \There is a fundamental di erence between science and and technology. Engineering or technology is the making of things that did not previously exist, whereas science is the discovering of things that have long existed. Technological results are forms that exist only because people want to make them, whereas scienti c results are informations of what exists independently of human intentions. Technology deals with the arti cial, science with the natural." (Billington 1985)
1.2
Structural Engineering
Structural engineers are responsible for the detailed analysis and design of: Architectural structures: Buildings, houses, factories. They must work in close cooperation with an architect who will ultimately be responsible for the design. Civil Infrastructures: Bridges, dams, pipelines, o shore structures. They work with transportation, hydraulic, nuclear and other engineers. For those structures they play the leading role. Aerospace, Mechanical, Naval structures: aeroplanes, spacecrafts, cars, ships, submarines to ensure the structural safety of those important structures. 2
1.3 3
Structures and their Surroundings
Structural design is a ected by various environmental constraints: 1. Major movements: For example, elevator shafts are usually shear walls good at resisting lateral load (wind, earthquake). 2. Sound and structure interact: A dome roof will concentrate the sound A dish roof will di use the sound 3. Natural light: A at roof in a building may not provide adequate light.
Draft 1{2
INTRODUCTION
A Folded plate will provide adequate lighting (analysis more complex). A bearing and shear wall building may not have enough openings for daylight. A Frame design will allow more light in (analysis more complex). 4. Conduits for cables (electric, telephone, computer), HVAC ducts, may dictate type of oor system. 5. Net clearance between columns (unobstructed surface) will dictate type of framing.
1.4 Architecture & Engineering Architecture must be the product of a creative collaboration of architects and engineers. 5 Architect stress the overall, rather than elemental approach to design. In the design process, they conceptualize a space-form scheme as a total system. They are generalists. 6 The engineer, partly due to his/her education think in reverse, starting with details and without sucient regards for the overall picture. (S)he is a pragmatist who \knows everything about nothing". 7 Thus there is a conceptual gap between architects and engineers at all levels of design. 8 Engineer's education is more specialized and in depth than the architect's. However, engineer must be kept aware of overall architectural objective. 9 In the last resort, it is the architect who is the leader of the construction team, and the engineers are his/her servant. 10 A possible compromise might be an Architectural Engineer. 4
1.5 Architectural Design Process Architectural design is hierarchical: Schematic: conceptual overall space-form feasibility of basic schematic options. Collaboration is mostly between the owner and the architect. Preliminary: Establish basic physical properties of major subsystems and key components to prove design feasibility. Some collaboration with engineers is necessary. Final design: nal in-depth design re nements of all subsystems and components and preparation of working documents (\blue-prints"). Engineers play a leading role. 11
1.6 Architectural Design Architectural design must respect various constraints: Functionality: In uence of the adopted structure on the purposes for which the structure was erected. Aesthetics: The architect often imposes his aesthetic concerns on the engineer. This in turn can place severe limitations on the structural system. Economy: It should be kept in mind that the two largest components of a structure are labors and materials. Design cost is comparatively negligible.

Buildings may have di erent functions: Residential: housing, which includes low-rise (up tp 2-3 oors), mid-rise (up to 6-8 oors) and high rise buildings. Commercial: Oces, retail stores, shopping centers, hotels, restaurants. Industrial: warehouses, manufacturing. Institutional: Schools, hospitals, prisons, chruch, government buildings. Special: Towers, stadium, parking, airport, etc. 13
1.7 Structural Analysis 14 Given an existing structure subjected to a certain load determine internal forces (axial, shear, exural, torsional; or stresses), de ections, and verify that no unstable failure can occur. 15 Thus the basic structural requirements are: Strength: stresses should not exceed critical values: < f Sti ness: de ections should be controlled: < max Stability: buckling or cracking should also be prevented
1.8 Structural Design Given a set of forces, dimension the structural element. Steel/wood Structures Select appropriate section. Reinforced Concrete: Determine dimensions of the element and internal reinforcement (number and sizes of reinforcing bars).
16
17 For new structures, iterative process between analysis and design. A preliminary design is made using rules of thumbs (best known to Engineers with design experience) and analyzed. Following design, we check for Serviceability: de ections, crack widths under the applied load. Compare with acceptable values speci ed in the design code. Failure (limit state): and compare the failure load with the applied load times the appropriate factors of safety. If the design is found not to be acceptable, then it must be modi ed and reanalyzed. 18 For existing structures rehabilitation, or veri cation of an old infrastructure, analysis is the most important component. 19 In summary, analysis is always required.

1.10 Structure Types 21
Structures can be classi ed as follows:
Tension & Compression Structures: only, no shear, exure, or torsion. Those are the most ecient types of structures. Cable (tension only): The high strength of steel cables, combined with the eciency of simple
tension, makes cables ideal structural elements to span large distances such as bridges, and dish roofs, Fig. 1.2. A cable structure develops its load carrying capacity by adjusting its shape so as to provide maximum resistance (form follows function). Care should be exercised in minimizing large de ections and vibrations. Arches (mostly compression) is a \reversed cable structure". In an arch, exure/shear is minimized and most of the load is transfered through axial forces only. Arches are used for large span roofs and bridges, Fig. 1.3

Trusses have pin connected elements which can transmit axial forces only (tension and compression). Elements are connected by either slotted, screwed, or gusset plate connectors. However, due to construction details, there may be secondary stresses caused by relatively rigid connections. Trusses are used for joists, roofs, bridges, electric tower, Fig. 1.4
Figure 1.4: Types of Trusses
Post and Beams: Essentially a support column on which a \beam" rests, Fig. 1.5, and 1.6. Beams: Shear, exure and sometimes axial forces. Recall that = MI c is applicable only for shallow beams, i.e. span/depth at least equal to ve.
Whereas r/c beams are mostly rectangular or T shaped, steel beams are usually I shaped (if the top anges are not properly sti ened, they may buckle, thus we must have sti eners). Frames: Load is co-planar with the structure. Axial, shear, exure (with respect to one axis in 2D structures and with respect to two axis in 3D structures), torsion (only in 3D). The frame is composed of at least one horizontal member (beam) rigidly connected to vertical ones1. The vertical 1 The precursor of the frame structures were the Post and Lintel where the post is vertical member on which the lintel is simply posed.

INTRODUCTION
members can have di erent boundary conditions (which are usually governed by soil conditions). Frames are extensively used for houses and buildings, Fig. 1.7.
Figure 1.7: Basic Forms of Frames
Grids and Plates: Load is orthogonal to the plane of the structure. Flexure, shear, torsion.
In a grid, beams are at right angles resulting in a two-way dispersal of loads. Because of the rigid connections between the beams, additional sti ness is introduced by the torsional resistance of members. Grids can also be skewed to achieve greater eciency if the aspect ratio is not close to one. Plates are at, rigid, two dimensional structures which transmit vertical load to their supports. Used mostly for oor slabs. Folded plates is a combination of transverse and longitudinal beam action. Used for long span roofs. Note that the plate may be folded circularly rather than longitudinally. Folded plates are used mostly as long span roofs. However, they can also be used as vertical walls to support both vertical and horizontal loads. Membranes: 3D structures composed of a exible 2D surface resisting tension only. They are usually cable-supported and are used for tents and long span roofs Fig. 1.8.

Architects: Start from overall design, and move toward detailed analysis. Emphasis on good under-
standing of overall structural behavior. Develop a good understanding of load transfer mechanism for most types of structures, cables, arches, beams, frames, shells, plates. Approximate analysis for most of them. Engineers: Emphasis is on the individual structural elements and not always on the total system. Focus on beams, frames (mostly 2D) and trusses. Very seldom are arches covered. Plates and shells are not even mentioned. 1.12

Introduction
1 The main purpose of a structure is to transfer load from one point to another: bridge deck to pier; slab to beam; beam to girder; girder to column; column to foundation; foundation to soil. 2 There can also be secondary loads such as thermal (in restrained structures), di erential settlement of foundations, P-Delta e ects (additional moment caused by the product of the vertical force and the lateral displacement caused by lateral load in a high rise building). 3 Loads are generally subdivided into two categories Vertical Loads or gravity load 1. dead load (DL) 2. live load (LL) also included are snow loads. Lateral Loads which act horizontally on the structure 1. Wind load (WL) 2. Earthquake load (EL) this also includes hydrostatic and earth loads.
This distinction is helpful not only to compute a structure's load, but also to assign di erent factor of safety to each one. 5 For a detailed coverage of loads, refer to the Universal Building Code (UBC), (UBC 1995).

Dead Load
Dead loads (DL) consist of the weight of the structure itself, and other permanent xtures (such as walls, slabs, machinery). 8 For analysis purposes, dead loads can easily be determined from the structure's dimensions and density, Table 2.1

Table 2.1: Unit Weight of Materials For steel structures, the weight per unit length of rolled sections is given in the AISC Manual of Steel Construction. 10 For design purposes, dead loads must be estimated and veri ed at the end of the design cycle. This makes the design process iterative. 11 Weights for building materials is given in Table 2.2 12 For preliminary design purposes the average dead loads of Table 2.3 can be used:

2.2.2
Live Loads
Contrarily to dead loads which are xed and vertical, live loads (LL) are movable or moving and may be horizontal. 14 Occupancy load may be due to people, furniture, equipment. The loads are essentially variable point loads which can be placed anywhere.

In analysis load placement should be such that their e ect (shear/moment) are maximized. 16 A statistical approach is used to determine a uniformly distributed static load which is equivalent to the weight of the maximum concentration of occupants. These loads are de ned in codes such as the Uniform Building Code or the ANSI Code, Table 2.4.

V can be obtained from wind maps (in the United States 70 V 110), Fig. 2.4. 25 During storms, wind velocities may reach values up to or greater than 150 miles per hour, which corresponds to a dynamic pressure qs of about 60 psf (as high as the average vertical occupancy load in buildings). 1 The primary design consideration for very high rise buildings is the excessive drift caused by lateral load (wind and possibly earthquakes).

Earthquakes
Buildings should be able to resist Minor earthquakes without damage Moderate earthquakes without structural damage but possibly with some nonstructural damages Major earthquakes without collapse but possibly with some structural damage as well as nonstructural damage This is achieved through an appropriate dynamic analysis. 31 For preliminary designs or for small structures an equivalent horizontal static load can be determined. 32 Actual loads depend on the following 1. Intensity of the ground acceleration (including soil/rock properties). 2. Dynamic properties of the building, such as its mode shapes and periods of vibration and its damping characteristics. 3. Mass of the building.

A critical factor in the dynamic response of a structure is the fundamental period of the structure's vibration (or rst mode of vibration). This is the time required for one full cycle of motion, Fig. 2.7. If the earthquake excitation has a frequency close to the one of the building, then resonance may occur. This should be avoided.

The basement of a building is 12 ft below grade. Ground water is located 9 ft below grade, what thickness concrete slab is required to exactly balance the hydrostatic uplift?

The hydrostatic pressure must be countered by the pressure caused by the weight of concrete. Since p =

2.4.2 Thermal If a member is uniformly heated (or cooled) without restraint, then it will expand (or contract). This expansion is given by

where is the coecient of thermal expansion, Table 2.13 (/F ) Steel 6:5 10;6 Concrete 5:5 10;6
Table 2.13: Coecients of Thermal Expansion 42 43
If the member is restrained against expansion, then a compressive stress = E T is developed. To avoid excessive stresses due to thermal loading expansion joints are used in bridges and buildings.
Example 2-6: Thermal Expansion/Stress (Schueller 1996) A low-rise building is enclosed along one side by a 100 ft-long clay masonary ( = 3:6 10;6 in./in./oF, E = 2; 400; 000 psi) bearing wall. The structure was built at a temperature of 60oF and is located in the northern part of the United States where the temperature range is between -20o and +120oF.
Solution:
1. Assuming that the wall can move freely with no restraint from cross-walls and foundation, the wall expansion and contraction (summer and winter) are given by LSummer = T L = (3:6 10;6) in= in=oF (120 ; 60)o F (100) ft(12) in/ft = 0.26 (2.33-a) in in LWinter = T L = (3:6 10;6) in= in=oF (;20 ; 60)oF (100) ft(12) in/ft = -0.35(2.33-b)

2. We now assume (conservatively) that the free movement cannot occur (L = 0) hence the resulting stress would be equal to = E" = E LL = E LTL = E T Summer = E T = (2; 400; 000) 2 (3:6 10;6 ) in= in=oF (120 ; 60)oF = 518 2 Tension(2.34-a) in in lbs ; 6 o o W inter (2.34-b) = E T = (2; 400; 000) 2 (3:6 10 ) in= in= F (;20 ; 60) F = -691 lbs2 Compression in in lbs

2.5 Other Important Considerations 2.5.1 Load Combinations
Live loads speci ed by codes represent the maximum possible loads. 45 The likelihood of all these loads occurring simultaneously is remote. Hence, building codes allow certain reduction when certain loads are combined together. 46 Furthermore, structures should be designed to resist a combination of loads. 47 Denoting D= dead; L= live; Lr= roof live; W= wind; E= earthquake; S= snow; T= temperature; H= soil: 48 For the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) method of concrete structures, the American Concrete Institute (ACI) Building design code (318) (318 n.d.) requires that the following load combinations be considered: 1. 1.4D+1.7L 2. 0.75(1.4D+1.7L+1.7W) 3. 0.9D+1.3W 4. 1.4D +1.7L+1.7H 5. 0.75(1.4D+1.4T+1.7L) 6. 1.4(D+T) whereas for steel structures, the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) code, (of Steel COnstruction 1986) requires that the following combinations be veri ed 1. 1.4D 2. 1.2D+1.6L+0.5(Lr or S) 3. 1.2D+0.5L (or 0.8W)+1.6(Lr or S) 4. 1.2D+0.5L+0.5(Lr or S)+1.3W 5. 1.2D+0.5L(or 0.2 S)+1.5E 44

Draft 2.5 Other Important Considerations
2{21
6. 0.9D+1.3W(or 1.5 E) Analysis can be separately performed for each of the basic loads (L, D, W, etc) and then using the principle of superposition the loads can be linearly combined (unless the elastic limit has been reached). 50 Loads are often characterized as Usual, Unusual and Extreme.
49
2.5.2 Load Placement Only the dead load is static. The live load on the other hand may or may not be applied on a given component of a structure. Hence, the load placement arrangement resulting in the highest internal forces (moment +ve or -ve, shear) at di erent locations must be considered, Fig. 2.10.
51
Figure 2.10: Load Placement to Maximize Moments
2.5.3 Load Transfer Whereas we will be focusing on the design of a reinforced concrete or steel section, we must keep in mind the following: 1. The section is part of a beam or girder. 2. The beam or girder is really part of a three dimensional structure in which load is transmitted from any point in the structure to the foundation through any one of various structural forms.
52
Load transfer in a structure is accomplished through a \hierarchy" of simple exural elements which are then connected to the columns, Fig. 2.11 or by two way slabs as illustrated in Fig. 2.12.
53
2.5.4 Structural Response 54 Under the action of the various forces and loadings described above, the structure must be able to respond with proper behavior, Fig. 9.1.

STRUCTURAL MATERIALS Proper understanding of structural materials is essential to both structural analysis and to structural design. 2 Characteristics of the most commonly used structural materials will be highlighted.

3.1 3.1.1
Steel Structural Steel
3 Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. Its properties can be greatly varied by altering the carbon content (always less than 0.5%) or by adding other elements such as silicon, nickle, manganese and copper. 4 Practically all grades of steel have a Young Modulus equal to 29,000 ksi, density of 490 lb/cu ft, and a coecient of thermal expansion equal to 0:65 10;5 /deg F. 5 The yield stress of steel can vary from 40 ksi to 250 ksi. Most commonly used structural steel are A36 (yld = 36 ksi) and A572 (yld = 50 ksi), Fig. 3.1 6 Structural steel can be rolled into a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Usually the most desirable members are those which have a large section moduli (S ) in proportion to their area (A), Fig. 3.2. 7 Steel can be bolted, riveted or welded. 8 Sections are designated by the shape of their cross section, their depth and their weight. For example W 27 114 is a W section, 27 in. deep weighing 114 lb/ft. 9 Common sections are: S sections were the rst ones rolled in America and have a slope on their inside ange surfaces of 1 to 6. W or wide ange sections have a much smaller inner slope which facilitates connections and rivetting. W sections constitute about 50% of the tonnage of rolled structural steel. C are channel sections MC Miscellaneous channel which can not be classi ed as a C shape by dimensions. HP is a bearing pile section.

Table 3.1: Properties of Major Structural Steels Rolled sections, Fig. 3.3 and welded ones, Fig3.4 have residual stresses. Those originate during the rolling or fabrication of a member. The member is hot just after rolling or welding, it cools unevenly because of varying exposure. The area that cool rst become sti er, resist contraction, and develop compressive stresses. The remaining regions continue to cool and contract in the plastic condition and develop tensile stresses. 13 Due to those residual stresses, the stress-strain curve of a rolled section exhibits a non-linear segment prior to the theoretical yielding, Fig. 3.5. This would have important implications on the exural and axial strength of beams and columns.

A strand is a helical arrangement of wires around a central wire. A rope consists of multiple strands helically wound around a central plastic core, and a modulus of elasticity of 20,000 ksi, and an ultimate strength of 220 ksi. 17 Prestressing Steel cables have an ultimate strength up to 270 ksi.

3.2 Aluminum Aluminum is used whenever light weight combined with strength is an important factor. Those properties, along with its resistance to corrosion have made it the material of choice for airplane structures, light roof framing. 19 Aluminum members can be connected by riveting, bolting and to a lesser extent by welding. 20 Aluminum has a modulus of elasticity equal to 10,000 ksi (about three times lower than steel), a coecient of thermal expansion of 2:4 10;5 and a density of 173 lbs=ft3 . 21 The ultimate strength of pure aluminum is low (13,000 psi) but with the addition of alloys it can go up. 22 When aluminum is in contact with other metals in the presence of an electrolyte, galvanic corrosion may cause damage. Thus, steel and aluminum in a structure must be carefully separated by means of painting or a nonconductive material.

3.3 Concrete Concrete is a mixture of Portland cement2 , water, and aggregates (usually sand and crushed stone). An ideal mixture is one in which: 1. A minimum amount of cement-water paste is used to ll the interstices between the particles of aggregates. 2. A minimum amount of water is provided to complete the chemical reaction with cement. In such a mixture, about 3/4 of the volume is constituted by the aggregates, and the remaining 1/4 being the cement paste. 24 Smaller particles up to 1/4 in. in size are called ne aggregates, and the larger ones being coarse aggregates. 25 Contrarily to steel to modulus of elasticity of concrete depends on the strength and is given by 23

Figure 3.6: Concrete microcracking Coecient of thermal expansion is 0 65 10;5 /deg F for normal weight concrete. 32 When concrete is poured (or rather placed), the free water not needed for the hydration process evaporates over a period of time and the concrete will shrink. This shrinkage is about 0.05% after one year (strain). Thus if the concrete is restrained, then cracking will occur3. 33 Concrete will also deform with time due to the applied load, this is called creep. This should be taken into consideration when computing the de ections (which can be up to three times the instantaneous elastic de ection). 31
:
3.4 Masonry Masonry consists of either natural materials, such as stones, or of manufactured products such as bricks and concrete blocks4, stacked and bonded together with mortar. 35 As for concrete, all modern structural masonry blocks are essentially compression members with low tensile resistance. 36 The mortar used is a mixture of sand, masonry cement, and either Portland cement or hydrated lime. 34
3.5 Timber Timber is one of the earliest construction materials, and one of the few natural materials with good tensile properties. 38 The properties of timber vary greatly, and the strength is time dependent. 39 Timber is a good shock absorber (many wood structures in Japan have resisted repeated earthquakes). 40 The most commonly used species of timber in construction are Douglas r, southern pine, hemlock and larch. 41 Members can be laminated together under good quality control, and exural strengths as high as 2,500 psi can be achieved. 37
3 For this reason a minimum amount of reinforcement is always necessary in concrete, and a 2% reinforcement, can reduce the shrinkage by 75%. 4 Mud bricks were used by the Babylonians, stones by the Egyptians, and ice blocks by the Eskimos...

Joists
43 Steel joists, Fig. 3.8 look like shallow trusses (warren type) and are designed as simply supported uniformly loaded beams assuming that they are laterally supported on the top (to prevent lateral torsional buckling). The lateral support is often pro ded by the concrete slab it suppors. 44 The standard open-web joist designation consists of the depth, the series designation and the chord type. Three series are available for oor/roof construction, Table 3.3

STRUCTURAL MATERIALS
For preliminary estimates of the joist depth, a depth to span ratio of 24 can be assumed, therefore d L=2
(3.5)
where d is in inches, and L in ft. 47 Table 3.4 list the load carrying capacity of open web, K-series steel joists based on a amximum allowable stress of 30 ksi. For each span, the rst line indicates the total safe uniformly distributed load-carrying capacity in pounds per linear foot. Note that the dead load (including the one of the joist) must be substracted in order to determine the safe live load. The second line indicates the live load (pounds/linear foot) which will produce an approximate delection of L=360.

Case Study I: EIFFEL TOWER The structure is essentially a tower, subjected to gravity and wind load. It is a relatively \light" structure, so dead load is small compared to the wind load. M Mgravity 3 To avoid overturning had to be much higher than 1. wind This can be achieved either by: 1. Increase self weight (as in Washington's monument) 2. Increase the width of the base 3. Design support to resist tension. 4. Post-tension the support.

The tower is 984 feet high, and 328 feet wide at the base. The large base was essential to provide adequate stability in the presence of wind load. 5 We can assume that the shape of the tower is parabolic. If we take the x axis to be along the vertical axis of symmetry and y the half width, then we know that at x = 984 the (half) width y = 0 and at x = 0 the half width is 328=2 = 164, thus the equation of the half width is given by 4

Figure 4.3: Ei el Tower, Dead Load Idealization; (Billington and Mark 1983) The wind pressure is known to also have a parabolic distribution (maximum at the top), the cross sectional area over which the wind is acting is also parabolic (maximum at the base). Hence we will simplify our analysis by considering an equivalent wind force obtained from a constant wind pressure (force/length) and constant cross section Fig. 4.4: The pressure is assumed to be 2.6 k/ft, thus the lateral wind force is, Fig. 4.5 984 = 492 ft (4.5) lat = (2 6) k/ft(984) ft = 2,560 k acting at 2

Thus the lateral moment caused by the wind is parabolic. At the base (x = 0), the maximum moment is equal to (L ; x)2 = (2:6) (984 ; 0)2 2 = 1,260,000 ; (4.8) Mlat = p 2 2 We observe that the shape of the moment diagram is also parabolic, just like the tower itself. This is not accidental, as nearly optimum structures have a shape which closely approximate their moment diagram (such as the varying depth of continuous long span bridges). To determine the resulting internal forces caused by the lateral (wind) moment, and since we have two supports (one under tension and the other under compression) we use 1; 260; 000 = 3,850 wind Rvert = M (4.9) = 6? d 328 Lateral Forces to be resisted by each of the two pairs.

Reactions
1 In the analysis of structures (hand calculations), it is often easier (but not always necessary) to start by determining the reactions. 2 Once the reactions are determined, internal forces are determined next; nally, internal stresses and/or deformations (de ections and rotations) are determined last1 . 3 Reactions are necessary to determine foundation load. 4 Depending on the type of structures, there can be di erent types of support conditions, Fig. 5.1. Roller: provides a restraint in only one direction in a 2D structure, in 3D structures a roller may provide restraint in one or two directions. A roller will allow rotation. Hinge: allows rotation but no displacements. Fixed Support: will prevent rotation and displacements in all directions.
5.1.1 Equilibrium 5 6 7
Reactions are determined from the appropriate equations of static equilibrium. Summation of forces and moments, in a static system must be equal to zero2. In a 3D cartesian coordinate system there are a total of 6 independent equations of equilibrium:
1 This is the sequence of operations in the exibility method which lends itself to hand calculation. In the sti ness method, we determine displacements rsts, then internal forces and reactions. This method is most suitable to computer implementation. 2 In a dynamic system F = ma where m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

For reaction calculations, the externally applied load may be reduced to an equivalent force3 . 10 Summation of the moments can be taken with respect to any arbitrary point. 11 Whereas forces are represented by a vector, moments are also vectorial quantities and are represented by a curved arrow or a double arrow vector. 12 Not all equations are applicable to all structures, Table 5.1 13 The three conventional equations of equilibrium in 2D: x y and z can be replaced by the independent moment equations zA, zB , zC provided that A, B, and C are not colinear. 14 It is always preferable to check calculations by another equation of equilibrium. 15 Before you write an equation of equilibrium, 1.

5.1.2 Equations of Conditions 18 If a structure has an internal hinge (which may connect two or more substructures), then this will provide an additional equation (M = 0 at the hinge) which can be exploited to determine the reactions. 19 Those equations are often exploited in trusses (where each connection is a hinge) to determine reactions. 20 In an inclined roller support with Sx and Sy horizontal and vertical projection, then the reaction R would have, Fig. 5.2.

REVIEW of STATICS
If the reactions can not be determined simply from the equations of static equilibrium (and equations of conditions if present), then the reactions of the structure are said to be statically indeterminate. 23 The degree of static indeterminacy is equal to the di erence between the number of reactions and the number of equations of equilibrium (plus the number of equations of conditions if applicable), Fig. 5.3.
22
Figure 5.3: Examples of Static Determinate and Indeterminate Structures Failure of one support in a statically determinate system results in the collapse of the structures. Thus a statically indeterminate structure is safer than a statically determinate one. 25 For statically indeterminate structures, reactions depend also on the material properties (e.g. Young's and/or shear modulus) and element cross sections (e.g. length, area, moment of inertia).
24
5.1.4 Geometric Instability The stability of a structure is determined not only by the number of reactions but also by their arrangement. 27 Geometric instability will occur if: 1. All reactions are parallel and a non-parallel load is applied to the structure. 2. All reactions are concurrent, Fig. 5.4.

3. The number of reactions is smaller than the number of equations of equilibrium, that is a mechanism is present in the structure. Mathematically, this can be shown if the determinant of the equations of equilibrium is equal to zero (or the equations are inter-dependent).

Trusses
5.2.1 Assumptions Cables and trusses are 2D or 3D structures composed of an assemblage of simple one dimensional components which transfer only axial forces along their axis. 31 Trusses are extensively used for bridges, long span roofs, electric tower, space structures. 32 For trusses, it is assumed that 1. Bars are pin-connected 30

5{9
2. Joints are frictionless hinges4 . 3. Loads are applied at the joints only. 33 A truss would typically be composed of triangular elements with the bars on the upper chord under compression and those along the lower chord under tension. Depending on the orientation of the diagonals, they can be under either tension or compression. 34 In a truss analysis or design, we seek to determine the internal force along each member, Fig. 5.5
Figure 5.5: Bridge Truss
5.2.2 Basic Relations
Sign Convention: Tension positive, compression negative. On a truss the axial forces are indicated as forces acting on the joints. Stress-Force: = PA Stress-Strain: = E" Force-Displacement: " = LL Equilibrium: F = 0
5.2.3 Determinacy and Stability 35 Trusses are statically determinate when all the bar forces can be determined from the equations of statics alone. Otherwise the truss is statically indeterminate. 36 A truss may be statically indeterminate with respect to the reactions or externally indeterminate and/or statically indeterminate with respect to the internal forces that is internally indeterminate. 37 a 2D truss is externally indeterminate if there are more than 3 reactions.
4 In practice the bars are riveted, bolted, or welded directly to each other or to gusset plates, thus the bars are not free to rotate and so-called secondary bending moments are developed at the bars. Another source of secondary moments is the dead weight of the element.

38 Since each joint is pin-connected, we can apply M = 0 at each one of them. Furthermore, summation of forces applied on a joint must be equal to zero. 39 For a 2D truss we have 2 equations of equilibrium FX = 0 and FY = 0 which can be applied at each joint. For 3D trusses we would have three equations: FX = 0, FY = 0 and FZ = 0. 40 If we refer to j as the number of joints, R the number of reactions and m the number of members, then we would have a total of m + R unknowns and 2j (or 3j ) equations of statics (2D or 3D at each joint). If we do not have enough equations of statics then the problem is indeterminate, if we have too many equations then the truss is unstable, Table 5.2.

Thus we have a total of m + R = 9 + 4 = 13 unknowns and 2 j = 2 6 = 12 equations of equilibrium, thus the truss is statically indeterminate.

2. Compute all reactions 3. Sketch a free body diagram showing all joint loads (including reactions) 4. For each joint, and starting with the loaded ones, apply the appropriate equations of equilibrium (Fx and Fy in 2D; Fx , Fy and Fz in 3D). 5. Because truss elements can only carry axial forces, the resultant force (F~ = F~x + F~y ) must be along the member, Fig. 5.7. F Fx Fy = l = l l x y
(5.4)
Always keep track of the x and y components of a member force (Fx , Fy ), as those might be needed later on when considering the force equilibrium at another joint to which the member is connected.
44
Figure 5.7: X and Y Components of Truss Forces This method should be used when all member forces should be determined. 46 In truss analysis, there is no sign convention. A member is assumed to be under tension (or compression). If after analysis, the force is found to be negative, then this would imply that the wrong assumption was made, and that the member should have been under compression (or tension). 47 On a free body diagram, the internal forces are represented by arrow acting on the joints and not as end forces on the element itself. That is for tension, the arrow is pointing away from the joint, and for compression toward the joint, Fig. 5.8. 45

Figure 5.11: Free Body Diagram of an In nitesimal Beam Segment be in equilibrium. 51 There are no axial forces, thus we only have two equations of equilibrium to satisfy Fy = 0 and Mz = 0. 52 Since dx is in nitesimally small, the small variation in load along it can be neglected, therefore we assume w(x) to be constant along dx. 53 To denote that a small change in shear and moment occurs over the length dx of the element, we add the di erential quantities dVx and dMx to Vx and Mx on the right face. 6

Shear: 1. For A ; B , the shear is constant, equal to the horizontal reaction at A and negative according to our previously de ned sign convention, VA = ;36 2. For member B ; C at B , the shear must be equal to the vertical force which was transmitted along A ; B , and which is equal to the vertical reaction at A, VB = 64:06. 3.

Solution: The hydrostatic pressure causes lateral forces on the vertical members which can be treated as cantilevers xed at the lower end. The pressure is linear and is given by p = h. Since each frame supports a 2 ft wide slice of the

5.4.2 Stress-Strain Relations 65 So far we considered the kinematic of the beam, yet later on we will need to consider equilibrium in terms of the stresses. Hence we need to relate strain to stress. 66 For linear elastic material Hooke's law states

5.4.3 Internal Equilibrium; Section Properties Just as external forces acting on a structure must be in equilibrium, the internal forces must also satisfy the equilibrium equations. 69 The internal forces are determined by slicing the beam. The internal forces on the \cut" section must be in equilibrium with the external forces. 68
5.4.3.1 Fx = 0; Neutral Axis The rst equation we consider is the summation of axial forces. 71 Since there are no external axial forces (unlike a column or a beam-column), the internal axial forces must be in equilibrium. Z (5.20) Fx = 0 ) x dA = 0

neutral axis passes through the centroid of the cross section. 5.4.3.2 M = 0; Moment of Inertia
The second equation of internal equilibrium which must be satis ed is the summation of moments. However contrarily to the summation of axial forces, we now have an external moment to account for,

1. A positive and negative moment would correspond to positive and negative curvature respectively (adopting the sign convention shown in Fig. 5.14). 2. A zero moment correspnds to an in ection point in the de ected shape. 82
Hence, for
Statically determinate structure, we can determine the de ected shape from the moment diagram, Fig. 5.15.

Plot the de ected shape. Identify in ection points, approximate their location. Locate those in ection points on the structure, which will then become statically determinate. Perform an approximate analysis.

1. We have 3 unknowns RA , RC , and RD , all in the vertical directions, and only two applicable equations of equilibrium (since we do not have any force in the x direction), thus the problem is statically indeterminare. 2. We sketch the anticipated de ected shape, and guess the location of the in ection point. 3. At that location, we place a hinge, and we now have an additional equation of condition at that location (M = 0).

Theory
Whereas the forces in a cable can be determined from statics alone, its con guration must be derived from its deformation. Let us consider a cable with distributed load p(x) per unit horizontal projection of the cable length (thus neglecting the weight of the cable). An in nitesimal portion of that cable can be assumed to be a straight line, Fig. 6.1 and in the absence of any horizontal load we have 1

where V is the vertical component of the cable tension at x (Note that if the cable was subjected to its own weight then we would have wds instead of wdx). Because the cable must be tangent to T , we have V tan = H

The Case Study
Adapted from (Billington and Mark 1983) 9 The George Washington bridge, is a suspension bridge spanning the Hudson river from New York City to New Jersey. It was completed in 1931 with a central span of 3,500 ft (at the time the world's longest span). The bridge was designed by O.H. Amman, who had emigrated from Switzerland. In 1962 the deck was sti ened with the addition of a lower deck.
6.2.1 Geometry A longitudinal and plan elevation of the bridge is shown in For simplicity we will assume in our analysis that the two approaching spans are equal to 650 ft. 11 There are two cables of three feet diameter on each side of the bridge. The centers of each pair are 9 ft apart, and the pairs themselves are 106 ft apart. We will assume a span width of 100 ft. 12 The cables are idealized as supported by rollers at the top of the towers, hence the horizontal components of the forces in each side of the cable must be equal (their vertical components will add up). 13 The cables support the road deck which is hungby suspenders attached at the cables. The cables are made of 26,474 steel wires, each 0.196 inch in diameter. They are continuous over the tower supports and are rmly anchored in both banks by huge blocks of concrete, the anchors. I 14 Because the cables are much longer than they are thick (large L ), they can be idealized a perfectly
exible members with no shear/bending resistance but with high axial strength. 15 The towers are 578 ft tall and rest on concrete caissons in the river. Because of our assumption regarding the roller support for the cables, the towers will be subjected only to axial forces. 10
6.2.2 Loads 16 The dead load is composed of the weight of the deck and the cables and is estimated at 390 and 400 psf respectively for the central and side spans respectively. Assuming an average width of 100 ft, this n n; Recalling that (a + b)n = an + nan; b + an; b + or (1 + b)n = 1 + nb + n n; b2 + n n; n; b3 + ; 1 1 + b = (1 + b) 2 1+ b Thus for b p b

REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS 11.1
Introduction
Recalling that concrete has a tensile strength (ft ) about one tenth its compressive strength (fc ), concrete by itself is a very poor material for exural members. 2 To provide tensile resistance to concrete beams, a reinforcement must be added. Steel is almost universally used as reinforcement (longitudinal or as bers), but in poorer countries other indigenous materials have been used (such as bamboos). 3 The following lectures will focus exclusively on the exural design and analysis of reinforced concrete rectangular sections. Other concerns, such as shear, torsion, cracking, and de ections are left for subsequent ones. 4 Design of reinforced concrete structures is governed in most cases by the Building Code Requirements for Reinforced Concrete, of the American Concrete Institute (ACI-318). Some of the most relevant provisions of this code are enclosed in this set of notes. 5 We will focus on determining the amount of exural (that is longitudinal) reinforcement required at a given section. For that section, the moment which should be considered for design is the one obtained from the moment envelope at that particular point. 0

11.1.2 Modes of Failure
7 A reinforced concrete beam is a composite structure where concrete provides the compression and steel the tension. 8 Failure is initiated by, Fig. 11.5:
Steel Yielding
Concrete Crushing
Figure 11.1: Failure Modes for R/C Beams 1. Yielding of the steel when the steel stress reaches the yield stress (fs = fy ). This occurs if we do not have enough reinforcement that is the section is under-reinforced. This will result in excessive rotation and deformation prior to failure. 2. Crushing of the concrete, when the concrete strain reaches its ultimate value ("c = "u = 0:003), ACI 318: 10.2.3. This occurs if there is too much reinforcement that is the section is overreinforced. This is a sudden mode of failure. Ideally in an optimal (i.e. most ecient use of materials) design, a section should be dimensioned such that crushing of concrete should occur simultaneously with steel yielding. This would then be a balanced design. 10 However since concrete crushing is a sudden mode of failure with no prior warning, whereas steel yielding is often accompanied by excessive deformation (thus providing ample warning of an imminent failure), design codes require the section to be moderately under-reinforced. 9
11.1.3 Analysis vs Design 11
In R/C we always consider one of the following problems:
Victor Saouma
Structural Concepts and Systems for Architects
Draft 11.1 Introduction
11{3
Analysis: Given a certain design, determine what is the maximum moment which can be applied. Design: Given an external moment to be resisted, determine cross sectional dimensions (b and h) as well as reinforcement (As ). Note that in many cases the external dimensions of the beam (b and h) are xed by the architect.
12
We often consider the maximum moment along a member, and design accordingly.

Equivalent Stress Block
17 In determining the limit state moment of a cross section, we consider Fig. 11.3. Whereas the strain distribution is linear (ACI-318 10.2.2), the stress distribution is non-linear because the stress-strain curve of concrete is itself non-linear beyond 0 5 c. 18 Thus we have two alternatives to investigate the moment carrying capacity of the section, ACI-318: : f
0
10.2.6
1. Use the non-linear stress distribution. 2. Use a simpler equivalent stress distribution. 19 The ACI code follows the second approach. Thus we seek an equivalent stress distribution such that: 1. The resultant force is equal 2. The location of the resultant is the same. We note that this is similar to the approach followed in determining reactions in a beam subjected to a distributed load when the load is replaced by a single force placed at the centroid.

PRESTRESSED CONCRETE 12.1
Introduction
Beams with longer spans are architecturally more appealing than those with short ones. However, for a reinforced concrete beam to span long distances, it would have to have to be relatively deep (and at some point the self weight may become too large relative to the live load), or higher grade steel and concrete must be used. 2 However, if we were to use a steel with fy much higher than 60 ksi in reinforced concrete (R/C), then to take full advantage of this higher yield stress while maintaining full bond between concrete and steel, will result in unacceptably wide crack widths. Large crack widths will in turn result in corrosion of the rebars and poor protection against re. 3 One way to control the concrete cracking and reduce the tensile stresses in a beam is to prestress the beam by applying an initial state of stress which is opposite to the one which will be induced by the load. 4 For a simply supported beam, we would then seek to apply an initial tensile stress at the top and compressive stress at the bottom. In prestressed concrete (P/C) this can be achieved through prestressing of a tendon placed below the elastic neutral axis. 5 Main advantages of P/C: Economy, de ection & crack control, durability, fatigue strength, longer spans. 6 There two type of Prestressed Concrete beams: Pretensioning: Steel is rst stressed, concrete is then poured around the stressed bars. When enough concrete strength has been reached the steel restraints are released, Fig. 12.1. Postensioning: Concrete is rst poured, then when enough strength has been reached a steel cable is passed thru a hollow core inside and stressed, Fig. 12.2.

Materials
P/C beams usually have higher compressive strength than R/C. Prestressed beams can have fc as high as 8,000 psi. 8 The importance of high yield stress for the steel is illustrated by the following simple example. If we consider the following:

Note that yield stress is not well de ned for steel used in prestressed concrete, usually we take 1% strain as e ective yield. 10 Steel relaxation is the reduction in stress at constant strain (as opposed to creep which is reduction of strain at constant stress) occrs.

Case Study: Walnut Lane Bridge
Adapted from (Billington and Mark 1983)
The historical Walnut Lane Bridge ( rst major prestressed concrete bridge in the USA) is made of three spans, two side ones with lengths of 74 ft and a middle one of length 160 feet. Thirteen prestressed cocnrete beams are placed side by side to make up a total width of 44 fet of roadway and two 9.25 feet of sidewalk. In between the beams, and cast with them, are transverse sti eners which connect the beams laterally, Fig. 12.8

Prestressing
Each beam is prestressed by two middle parabolic cables, and two outer horizontal ones along the
anges. All four have approximately the same eccentricity at midspan of 2.65 ft. or 31.8 inch. 23 Each prestressing cable is made up 64 wires each with a diameter of 0.27 inches. Thus the total area of prestressing steel is given by: 2 2 Awire = (d=2)2 = 3:14( 0:276 (12.21-a) 2 ) = 0:0598 Acable = 64(0:0598) 2 = 3:83 2 (12.21-b) 2 2 Atotal = 4(3:83) = 15:32 (12.21-c)

Three-Hinges ARCHES 13.1
Theory
13.1.1 Uniform Horizontal Load 1 In order to optimize dead-load eciency, long span structures should have their shapes approximate the coresponding moment diagram, hence an arch, suspended cable, or tendon con guration in a prestressed concrete beam all are nearly parabolic, Fig. 13.1. 2 Long span structures can be built using at construction such as girders or trusses. However, for spans in excess of 100 ft, it is often more economical to build a curved structure such as an arch, suspended cable or thin shells. 3 Since the dawn of history, mankind has tried to span distances using arch construction. Essentially this was because an arch required materials to resist compression only (such as stone, masonary, bricks), and labour was not an issue. 4 The basic issues of static in arch design are illustrated in Fig. 13.2 where the vertical load is per unit horizontal projection (such as an external load but not a self-weight). Due to symmetry, the vertical reaction is simply V = wL 2 , and there is no shear across the midspan of the arch (nor a moment). Taking moment about the crown, L L (13.1) M = Hh ; wL 2 2 ; 4 =0
Solving for H
H = wL 8h
2
(13.2)
We recall that a similar equation was derived for arches., and H is analogous to the C ; T forces in a beam, and h is the overall height of the arch, Since h is much larger than d, H will be much smaller than C ; T in a beam. 5 Since equilibrium requires H to remain constant across thee arch, a parabolic curve would theoretically result in no moment on the arch section. 6 Three-hinged arches are statically determinate structures which shape can acomodate support settlements and thermal expansion without secondary internal stresses. They are also easy to analyse through statics.

7 An arch carries the vertical load across the span through a combination of axial forces and exural ones. A well dimensioned arch will have a small to negligible moment, and relatively high normal compressive stresses. 8 An arch is far more ecient than a beam, and possibly more economical and aesthetic than a truss in carrying loads over long spans. 9 If the arch has only two hinges, Fig. 13.3, or if it has no hinges, then bending moments may exist either at the crown or at the supports or at both places.
