T.2 Description of the tutorial problem

The structure for this project is a 2 bay, 2 story reinforced concrete frame. The figure below shows the structure. The purpose of this tutorial is to create the model, assign all required input, and perform the analysis and concrete design.

Basic Data for the Structure

Attribute	Data
Member properties	Beams 2 & 5 : Rectangular, 275 mm width × 350 mm depth Columns 1 & 4 : Rectangular, 275 mm width × 300 mm depth Column 3 : Circular, 350 mm diameter
Member Orientation	All members except column 4 : Default Column 4 : Rotated by 90 degrees with respect to default condition
Material Constants	Modulus of Elasticity : 22 kN/mm² Density : 17 kn/m³ (lightweight concrete) Poisson's Ratio : 0.17
Supports	Base of all columns : Fixed
Loads	Load case 1 : Dead Load Selfweight of the structure. Beams 2 & 5 : 400 kg/m in global Y downward Load case 2 : Live Load Beams 2 & 5 : 600 kg/m in global Y downward Load case 3 : Wind Load Beam 1 : 300 kg/m along positive global X Beam 4 : 500 kg/m along positive global X Load Case 4 : DEAD + LIVE L1 X 1.2 + L2 X 1.5 (Use REPEAT LOAD, not Load Combination) Load Case 5 : DEAD + WIND L1 X 1.1 + L2 X 1.3 (Use REPEAT LOAD, not Load Combination)
Analysis Type	PDELTA
Concrete Design	Consider load cases 4 and 5 only. Parameters: Ultimate Strength of Steel: 415 N/mm² Concrete Strength: 25 N/mm² Clear cover for top: 25 mm Clear cover for bottom: 30 mm Clear cover for side: 25 mm Design beams 2 and 5 Design columns 1, 3 and 4
