Design Curved Beam Spreadsheet

Design Curved Beam Spreadsheet

 

Curved Beam is a beam in which the neutral axis in the unloaded condition is curved instead of straight. Or If the beam is originally curved before applying the bending moment.
Curved beams have applications in many machine members such as c – clampers , crane hooks, frames of  presses, chains, links, rings, etc
The main difference between curved beams and straight ones that the Neutral axis does not coincide with the cross section, but is shifted towards the center of curvature of the beam.
This spreadsheet will help you to design easily curved beams

The program works internally consistent force and length unit. Permitted use of mixed units to help refine the results. The pregnancy and elastic modules of the member’s section can be defined in any unit. Similarly, any desired unit can set the reflection value. To make the unit specific, go to unit sheets and describe the ball, distance, intensity, modulus and deficit units. You need to calculate and count the conversion elements of the centralized unit from the selected unit. Sample Value This sheet is provided for your guidance. Units can not be mixed in one project file. All beams of the selected unit file apply. This means that if the units change between the formation of data files, then bees must be redefined bee characteristics in conjunction with selected bees.

Canadian Seismic Design of Steel Structures

Canadian Seismic Design of Steel Structures

 

Design of Steel Structures of the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) governs the design of the majority of steel structures in Canada. Clause 27 of the standard includes the earthquake design provisions for seismic force resisting systems for which ductile seismic response is expected. Technical changes and new requirements have been incorporated in the 2009 edition of CSA S16, including modifications of the expected material properties for HSS members, consideration of protected zones, definitions of brace probable compressive and tensile resistances for capacity design and special requirements for braces intersecting columns between floors for concentrically braced steel frames, new seismic provisions for buckling restrained braced steel frames, design and detailing requirements for built-up tubular ductile links in eccentrically braced steel frames, changes to the requirements for ductile steel plate walls and for plate walls with limited ductility, including allowances for perforations and corner cut-outs in infill plates, and special provisions for steel frames of the Conventional Construction category above 15 m in height. These modifications were developed in parallel with the 2010 National Building Code of Canada (NBCC). The paper summarizes the new CSA S16-09 seismic design requirements with reference to NBCC 2010.

Basic capacity design provisions are given in CSA S16 to ascertain that minimum strength hierarchy exists along the lateral load path such that the intended ductile energy dissipation mechanism is mobilized and the integrity of the structure is maintained under strong ground shaking. In the design process, the yielding components of the SFRS may be oversized compared to the specified design seismic forces, as would be the case when drift limits, minimum member sizes or non-seismic load combinations govern the design. In this case, it is specified both in NBCC 2010 and CSA S16 that the design forces in capacity-protected elements need not exceed those induced by a storey shear determined with RoRd = 1.3. This upper bound essentially corresponds to the elastic seismic force demand reduced by 1.3, recognizing that nonyielding components will likely possess minimum overstrength. This 1.3 reduction factor only applies if the governing failure mode is ductile, and RoRd = 1.0 must be used otherwise.

This file contains formatted spreadsheets to perform the following calculations:
– Section 1: Area of equivalent diagonal brace for plate wall analysis (Walls).
– Section 2: Design of link in eccentrically braced frames (EBF).
– Section 3: Design of Bolted Unstiffened End Plate Connection (BUEP).
– Section 4: Design of Bolted Stiffened End Plate Connection (BSEP).
– Section 5: Design of Reduced Beam Section Connection (RBS).
– Section 6: Force reduction factor for friction-damped systems (Rd_friction).

Additionally, this file contains the following tables:
– Valid beam sections for moment-resisting connections (B_sections).
– Valid column sections for moment-resisting connections (C_sections).
