RAM Elements - Thermal Loads - Elongation due to Temperature Changes
Does RAM Elements calculate the elongation of steel beams and steel bar joists due to temperature changes? I'm working on a project that has a High Temperature of 93F, a Mean Temperature of 58F, and a Low Temperature of -2F. The Temperature Difference…
How does RAM element perform temperature analysis on a steel building?
How does RAM element perform temperature analysis on a steel building?
I have a steel building and i need to analyse to analyse the building for a change of 32deg F. My lateral system for the building is BRB's, so I need to check if my temperature deflections…
TEMPERATURE LOAD
HI ALL,
I HAVE JUST NOW CLEARLY UNDERSTAND THE TEMPERATURE LOADING CALCULATIONS,
CAN ANYONE CLARIFY ME, IS IT RIGHT TO APPLY THE LOAD ALL OVER THE STRUCTURE
BECAUSE I FOUND A STAAD MODEL, IN WHICH THEY HAVE APPLIED THE LOAD ONLY ON ROOF AND…
How to apply concrete creep reduction factor on slab when calculating temperature loading actions
Hi,
I am trying to calculate the temperature load effect on a concrete slab. However, the stress resulted is too large. Refer to other software, there will be a reduction factor considering the concrete creep at 0,3~0.5. However, I didnt find any place…
Large increase in plate stresses due to Temperature loading
Hi All,
I have been analyzing a slab using plate elements and using the plate summary to design it. But the owner asked to consider temperature loads in the design. I have read posts regarding the temperature loads here in this forum and followed…
RE: RAM Elements, Version 13.4 - Nonlinear Analysis with Temperature Load
It's working OK for me with 13.04.01.208. Is your model non-linear due to the presence of tension-only members, compression-only springs or just from using P-Delta? Are the thermal loads applied to linear members, shells or both? Better yet, send over…
RE: Temperature load in STAAD
Temperature loads can only be applied on beams, plates and solids but not on surface elements.
RAM Concept - Design Details
I am using RAM concept to design an elevated slab supported by both interior columns and edge walls. This is an existing structure, so I have modeled all of the existing steel with hopes of checking it against the current and proposed future loading scenarios…
Re: Temperature Loading
The value (f1) is used by the program to calculate the axial deformation in members or volume expansion in plates and solids due to temp change,
The second value (f2) is used by the program to calculate the bending affect due to the temperature change…
RE: Brief the Temperature load in Staad input
If my understanding of your data is correct, you should be specifying the temperature change for axial elongation or the f1 term ( refer to the technical reference manual section 5.32.6 ) as 47 degrees. For a general explanation of the temperature terms…
RE: BM in pinned support, but no value
You mention CQC in the post, but I assume the temperature load itself is just a static load case, right? We will probably need a copy of the model or a sample model that illustrates the problem. You can attach it directly to a reply here (user Advanced…
