V. Beam Subject to response spectrum
Find the maximum moment due to the time history loading and compare theoretical answers to the STAAD solution.
Problem
The supports of a simply supported beam are subjected to an acceleration time history. The maximum bending moment in the beam is computed for the first mode of the structure. This problem demonstrates the capabilities of STAAD to calculate the correct modal response of a structure utilizing response spectrum data.
L = 240 in.
The STAAD model consists of 11 nodes and 10 elastic beam elements. Node 1 is completely restrained with the exception of having rotational freedom in the Z direction, the remaining nodes are restrained except for X and Y displacements and Z rotations. Node 11 is additionally restrained against displacements in the Y direction to provide for the simple support condition . Only the contribution of the first mode of the structure is considered.
Theoretical Solution
Material Properties
E = 30 x 106 lb/in2 |
EI = 1.0 x 1010 lb-in2 |
m = 0.2 lb-sec2 / in2 |
h = 14.0 in. |
From Reference 2, Table 8-1, page 108, the fundamental frequency of the beam is:
The modal participation factor for the fundamental mode is:
Where the first mode shape, φ(x) = sin(πx/1)
The maximum relative modal displacement is given by:
Amax = Γu0 max |
= | ||
= | ||
= | ||
= |
therefore:
Amax = 4(1.648)(386.4)/[π(2π)2(6.098)2] = 0.5523 in.
The bending moment
M = -EIδ2u/(δx2)
Where u for the first mode = A sin(πx/l)
δ2u/(δx2) = -π2/l2A·sin(πx/l)
M = AEI·(π2/l2)·sin(πx/l)
Mmax = AmaxEI·(π2/l2)
at x = l/2
Mmax = 1(10)10·(0.5523)·π2/(2402) = 946.351(10)3 lb·in
at x=l/2
