Application Examples (U.K.)

Example  Problem  No. 11

 

Dynamic analysis (Response Spectrum) is performed for a steel structure. Results of a static and dynamic analysis are combined. The combined results are then used for steel design.

 

 

Actual input is shown in bold lettering followed by explanation.

 

STAAD PLANE RESPONSE SPECTRUM ANALYSIS

 

Every input has to start with the word STAAD. The word PLANE signifies that the structure is a plane frame structure and the geometry is defined through X and Y axes.

 

UNIT METER KNS

 

Specifies the unit to be used.

 

JOINT COORDINATES

1  0.0  0.0  0.0  ;  2  6.0  0.0  0.0

3  0.0  3.0  0.0  ;  4  6.0  3.0  0.0

5  0.0  6.0  0.0  ;  6  6.0  6.0  0.0

 

Joint number followed by X, Y and Z coordinates are provided above. Since this is a plane structure, the Z coordinates are all the same, in this case, zeros. Semicolon signs (;) are used as line separators to allow for input of multiple sets of data on one line.

 

MEMBER INCIDENCES

1  1  3  ;  2  2  4  ;  3  3  5  ;  4  4  6 

5  3  4  ;  6  5  6

 

Defines the members by the joints they are connected to.

 

MEMBER PROPERTIES BRITISH

1 TO 4 TA ST UC254X254X73

5 TA ST UB305X165X54

6 TA ST UB203X133X30

 

Properties for all members are assigned from the British steel table. The word ST stands for standard single section.

 

SUPPORTS

1  2  FIXED

 

Fixed supports are specified at joints 1 and 2.

UNIT MMS

CONSTANTS

E 210.0 ALL

POISSON STEEL ALL

DEN 76.977E-09 ALL

 

Material constants such as E (modulus of elasticity), Poisson’s ratio and DENsity are specified above. Length unit is changed from METER to MMS to facilitate the input.

 

CUT OFF MODE SHAPE 2

 

The number of mode shapes to be considered in dynamic analysis is set to 2. Without the above command, this will be set to the default which can be found in section 5 of the Technical Reference Manual.

 

* LOAD 1 WILL BE STATIC LOAD

UNIT METER

LOAD 1 DEAD AND LIVE LOADS

 

Load case 1 is initiated followed by a title. Prior to this, the length unit is changed to METER for specifying distributed member loads. A line starting with an asterisk (*) mark indicates a comment line.

 

SELFWEIGHT Y -1.0

 

The above command indicates that the selfweight of the structure acting in the global Y direction is part of this load case. The factor of -1.0 is meant to indicate that the load acts opposite to the positive direction of global Y, hence downwards.

 

MEMBER LOADS

5  CON  GY  -25.0  1.8

5  CON  GY  -37.5  3.0

5  CON  GY  -25.0  4.2

5  6  UNI  Y  -22.5

 

Load 1 contains member loads also. GY indicates that the load is in the global Y direction while Y indicates local Y direction. The word UNI stands for uniformly distributed load while CON stands for concentrated load. GY is followed by the value of the load and the distance at which it is applied.

 

* NEXT LOAD WILL BE RESPONSE SPECTRUM LOAD

* WITH MASSES PROVIDED IN TERMS OF LOAD.

LOAD 2 SEISMIC LOADING

 

The two lines which begin with the asterisk are comment lines which tell us the purpose of the next load case. Load case 2 is then initiated along with an optional title. This will be a dynamic load case. Permanent masses will be provided in the form of loads. These masses (in terms of loads) will be considered for the eigensolution. Internally, the program converts these loads to masses, hence it is best to specify them as absolute values (without a negative sign). Also, the direction (X, Y, Z etc.) of the loads will correspond to the dynamic degrees of freedom in which the masses are capable of vibrating. In a PLANE frame, only X and Y directions need to be considered. In a SPACE frame, masses (loads) should be provided in all three (X, Y and Z) directions if they are active along all three. The user has the freedom to restrict one or more directions.

 

SELFWEIGHT X 1.0

SELFWEIGHT Y 1.0

 

The above commands indicate that the selfweight of the structure acting in the global X and Y directions with a factor of 1.0 is taken into consideration for the mass matrix.

 

MEMBER LOADS

5  CON  GX  25.0  1.8

5  CON  GY  25.0  1.8

5  CON  GX  37.5  3.0

5  CON  GY  37.5  3.0

5  CON  GX  25.0  4.2

5  CON  GY  25.0  4.2

 

The mass matrix will also consist of terms derived from the above member loads. GX and GY indicate that the load, and hence the resulting mass, is capable of vibration along the global X and Y directions. The word CON stands for concentrated load. Concentrated forces of 25, 37.5, and 25 kNs are located at 1.8m, 3.0m and 4.2m from the start of member 5.

 

SPECTRUM CQC X 1.0 ACC DAMP 0.05 SCALE 9.806

0.03  1.00  ;  0.05  1.35 

0.1  1.95  ;  0.2  2.80 

0.5  2.80  ;  1.0  1.60

 

The above SPECTRUM command specifies that the modal responses be combined using the CQC method (alternatives being the SRSS method, ABS method, etc.). The spectrum effect is in the global X direction with a factor of 1.0. Since this spectrum is in terms of ACCeleration (the other possibility being displacement), the spectrum data is given as period vs. acceleration. Damping ratio of 0.05 (5%) and a scale factor of 9.806 are used. The scale factor is the quantity by which spectral accelerations (and spectral displacements) must be multiplied by before they are used in the calculations. The values of periods and the corresponding accelerations are given in the last 3 lines.

LOAD COMBINATION  3

1  0.75  2  0.75

LOAD COMBINATION  4

1  0.75  2  -0.75

 

In a response spectrum analysis, the sign of the forces cannot be determined, and hence are absolute numbers. Consequently, to account for the fact that the force could be positive or negative, it is necessary to create 2 load combination cases. That is what is being done above. Load combination case no. 3 consists of the sum of the static load case (1) with the positive direction of the dynamic load case (2). Load combination case no. 4 consists of the

sum of the static load case (1) with the negative direction of the dynamic load case (2). In both cases, the result is factored by 0.75.

 

PERFORM ANALYSIS PRINT MODE SHAPES

 

This command instructs the program to proceed with the analysis. The PRINT command instructs the program to print mode shape values.

 

PRINT ANALYSIS RESULTS

 

Displacements, reactions and member forces are recorded in the output file using the above command.

 

LOAD LIST  1  3  4

PARAMETER

CODE BRITISH

SELECT ALL

 

A steel design in the form of a member selection is performed based on the rules of the British code. Only the member forces resulting from load cases 1, 3 and 4 will be considered for these calculations.

 

FINISH

 

This command terminates the STAAD run.
