EX. UK-4 Inactive Members in a Braced Frame

This example is a typical case of a load-dependent structure where the structural condition changes for different load cases. In this example, different bracing members are made inactive for different load cases. This is done to prevent these members from carrying any compressive forces.

This problem is installed with the program by default to C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition\Samples\Sample Models\UK\UK-4 Inactive Members in a Braced Frame.STD when you install the program.

Example Problem No. 4

Where:

  • L1 = 4.5 m, L2 = 6.0m
  • P1 = 45 kN, P2 = 90 kN

Actual input is shown in bold lettering followed by explanation.

    STAAD PLANE 
    * A PLANE FRAME STRUCTURE WITH TENSION BRACING

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

    UNIT METER KNS

Defines the input units for the data that follows.

    SET NL 3

This structure has to be analyzed for three primary load cases. Consequently, the modeling of our problem requires us to define three sets of data, with each set containing a load case and an associated analysis command. Also, the members which get switched off in the analysis for any load case have to be restored for the analysis for the subsequent load case. To accommodate these requirements, it is necessary to have two commands, one called SET NL and the other called CHANGE. The SET NL command is used above to indicate the total number of primary load cases that the file contains. The CHANGE command will come in later (after the PERFORM ANALYSIS command).

Joint number followed by X, Y and Z coordinates are provided above. Since this is a plane structure, the Z coordinates are given as all zeros.

Note: Semicolons (;) are used as line separators to allow for input of multiple sets of data on one line.

    13 6 7 ; 14 5 8

Defines the members by the joints to which they are connected.

    MEMBER TRUSS
    9 TO 14

The preceding command defines that members 9 through 14 are of type truss. This means these members can only carry axial tension/compression and no moments.

    9 TO 14 TA LD UA150X150X10

Properties for all members are assigned from the British steel table. The word ST stands for standard single section. The word LD stands for long leg back-to-back double angle. Since the spacing between the two angles of the double angle is not provided, it is assumed to be 0.0.

The DEFINE MATERIAL command is used to define a material. The CONSTANT command is used to assign this material all members. Length unit is changed from METER to MMS.

    SUPPORT 
    1 2 3 PINNED 

Pinned supports are specified at Joints 1, 2 and 3. The word PINNED signifies that no moments will be carried by these supports.

INACTIVE MEMBERS 9 TO 14 

The preceding command makes the listed members inactive. The stiffness contribution of these members will not be considered in the analysis till they are made active again.

    UNIT METER
    LOADING 1 DEAD AND LIVE LOAD

Load case 1 is initiated followed by a title. The length UNIT is changed from MMS to METER for input values which follow.

    MEMBER LOAD
    6 8 UNI GY -4.5
    7 UNI GY -6.75

Load 1 contains member loads. GY indicates that the load acts in the global Y direction. The word UNI stands for uniformly distributed load. The load is applied on members 6, 7, and 8.

    PERFORM ANALYSIS

This command instructs the program to proceed with the analysis. It is worth noting that members 9 to 14 will not be used in this analysis since they were declared inactive earlier. In other words, for dead and live load, the bracing members are not used to carry any load.

    CHANGES

The members inactivated earlier are restored using the CHANGE command.

    INACTIVE MEMBERS 10 11 13

A new set of members are made inactive. The stiffness contribution from these members will not be used in the analysis till they are made active again. They have been inactivated to prevent them from being subject to compressive forces for the next load case.

    LOADING 2 WIND FROM LEFT

Load case 2 is initiated followed by a title.

    JOINT LOAD
    4 FX 135 ; 7 FX 65

Load 2 contains joint loads. FX indicates that the load is a force in the global X direction. Nodes 4 and 7 are subjected to the loads.

    PERFORM ANALYSIS

This command instructs the program to proceed with the analysis. The analysis will be performed for load case 2 only.

    CHANGE

The above CHANGE command is an instruction to re-activate all inactive members.

    INACTIVE MEMBERS 9 12 14

Members 9, 12 and 14 are made inactive. The stiffness contribution of these members will not be used in the analysis till they are made active again. They have been inactivated to prevent them from being subject to compressive forces for the next load case.

    LOADING 3 WIND FROM RIGHT

Load case 3 is initiated followed by a title.

    JOINT LOAD 
    6 FX -135 ; 8 FX -65 

Load 3 contains joint loads at nodes 6 and 8. FX indicates that the load is a force in the global X direction. The negative numbers

(-135 and -65) indicate that the load is acting along the negative global X direction.

    LOAD COMBINATION 4
    1 0.75 2 0.75
    LOAD COMBINATION 5
    1 0.75 3 0.75

Load combination case 4 involves the algebraic summation of the results of load cases 1 and 2 after multiplying each by a factor of 0.75. For load combinations, the program simply gathers the results of the component primary cases, factors them appropriately, and combines them algebraically. Thus, an analysis in the real sense of the term (multiplying the inverted stiffness matrix by the load vector) is not carried out for load combination cases. Load combination case 5 combines the results of load cases 1 and 3.

    PERFORM ANALYSIS

This command instructs the program to proceed with the analysis. Only primary load case 3 will be considered for this analysis. (As explained earlier, a combination case is not truly analyzed for, but handled using other means.)

    CHANGE

The above CHANGE command will re-activate all inactive members.

    LOAD LIST ALL 

At the end of any analysis, only those load cases for which the analysis was done most recently, are recognized as the "active" load cases. The LOAD LIST ALL command enables all the load cases in the structure to be made active for further processing.

    PRINT MEMBER FORCES

The preceding PRINT command is an instruction to produce a report, in the output file, of the member end forces.

    LOAD LIST 1 4 5

A LOAD LIST command is a means of instructing the program to use only the listed load cases for further processing.

    PARAMETER
    CODE EN 1993-1-1:2005
    NA 1
    BEAM 1 ALL
    UNL 1.8 ALL
    KY 0.5 ALL

The PARAMETER command is used to specify the steel design parameters (information on these parameters can be obtained from the manual where the implementation of the code is explained). The BEAM parameter is specified to perform design at every 1/12th point along the member length. UNL represents the unsupported length to be used for calculation of allowable bending stress. KY 0.5 ALL sets the effective length factor for column buckling about the local Y-axis to be 0.5 for ALL members.

    CHECK CODE ALL

The above command instructs the program to perform a check to determine how you defined member sizes along with the latest analysis results meet the code requirements.

    FINISH

This command terminates the STAAD run.
