Floor Diaphragm with Temperature load
Hi,
In my multi level steel Structure I'm experiencing more axial loads when I define Floor diaphragm with temperature loads as there are Precast concrete slab are there on my floors. If I'm ignoring Floor diaphragm action on floors, displacement was…
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…
Combination with temperature load producing unexpected results
Hello community once again,
I am performing design of steel structure involving Live, seismic, wind, snow & thermal loads (uniform temp difference both +ve & -ve).
When I run analysis without the temperature load in combination, it results into unity…
RE: Temperature load in STAAD
Temperature loads can only be applied on beams, plates and solids but not on surface elements.

Thank you.
RE: Temperature load on Plate
Yes it is correct to specify f1 as the operating temp - ambient temp but that would mean a uniform volume expansion for the plate. Unless there is a difference in temperature between the top surface and bottom surface of the plate, it cannot bend. For…
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…
