[@richiefromcanada4823]

When in doubt . overbuild haha jk, What grade and size of beam is utilized ,factoring in the cross braces over length and height . Always calculate a trucks load assuming it’s loaded . Adding over half of the trucks weight into the formula , I was on a job where the engineers forgot to factor in the weight of the fluid where new structural was installed to support piping in an oil and gas facility resulting in the structural buckling under load. Causing a lot of rework. Not to mention the job coming to a halt . Not good.

[@gnidnoeled786]

Axial force acting on member AB per the calculation are 86 kN in tension and 145 kN in compression. In the real world design of that AB, are we just going to use the bigger of the two axial forces, which is the compressive axial force 145 kN?

[@DrStructure]

No, the design requirements for compression members are not the same as the requirements for tension members. When a member undergoes both tension and compression, it needs to be designed such that both sets of requirements are satisfied.

love u guys

[@masifing]

see if there is some traffic and all vehicles stop simultaneously would the bridge be able to undergo such load too ? why is that we dont see any bridges that has stagnant load on in

[@DrStructure]

The (multiple) truck load magnitudes and patterns given in the design code(s) have been determined experimentally; they ensure the safety of the bridge. The provisions in the code specify the need for having multiple trucks being present on the bridge at one time. So it is not like we are designing the bridge for one truck load at a time. Furthermore, depending on the design, some bridges do have and post weight limits that if exceeded could result in structural damage or faliure.

[@prabinlimbu3860]

👌

[@kayelyndelossantos2975]

I don't understand how you determine how to center the loading? For example, around minute 9:40, what about the scenario of the middle axel above the peak?

[@DrStructure]

When in doubt, we try all viable truck/load positions. That way we make sure the critical load pattern was not overlooked. @9:40, if we move the truck 1 meter to the left, we get a smaller force in member AB. Why? Because the line to the left of the peak value has a sharper slope, it drops much faster than the line to the right of the peak. The height of the influence line 1 meter to the left of the peak is Sqrt(13)/36. Multiplied by 65, we get 6.5 kN. If the 65 kN force remains at the peak, the corresponding force value would be 39 kN. So, by shifting the load to the left, we are reducing the total force by: 39-6.5= 32.5 kN. The 70 kN force, when shifted to the left by 1 meter gives us an additional 7 kN force. It causes an increase in the force value from 35 kN to 42 kN. And the force in member AB increases by 6 kN due to the shifting of the 60 kN to the left. So, the total increase in axial force in member AB is 7+6 = 13 kN. But the decrease in the force is 32.5 kN. So the net change is going to be negative. Meaning the proposed loading scenario is not more critical that the original one.

[@gnidnoeled786]

Sorry to say that my question is about concentrated moment acting on beams which is obviously not found in this video but discussed in one of your previous ones. In the real world problem, where do we see this concentrated moment or what causes this? Looking forward to your reply and explanation. Thanks in advance.

[@DrStructure]

Various scenarios could lead to the placement of concentrated moments (as applied loads) on beams and frames. Suppose a beam has an overhang (say, 2 meters in length) subjected to a distributed load of 3 kN/m. This causes a clockwise moment of 6 kN-m about the nearest joint. For analysis purposes, we can remove and replace the overhang with a 3 kN downward load and a 6 kN-m moment at the joint that attaches the overhang to the rest of the beam. Also, architectural elements in a building could result on eccentric loading which introduce bending moments on the supporting frame. For example, depending on how it is places and secures inside the skeleton of the structure, a staircase could subject the supporting beam/frame to a bending moment.

[@gnidnoeled786]

@@DrStructure Thanks a lot for the quick reply and explanation. I do get the 6 kN-m (from 3 kN/m x 2 m x 1m) moment at the joint, but why 3 kN downward load at the joint? Shouldn't it be 6 kN (from 3 kN/m x 2 m)? Please clarify. Is the 2m long beam carrying 3 kN/m distributed load connected perpendicular to the other beam?

[@DrStructure]

@@gnidnoeled786 Yes, yes! The downward force is (3 kN/m)(2m) = 6 kN.

[@gnidnoeled786]

@@DrStructure Thanks indeed. Would greatly appreciate if you could reply my other query?

[@DrStructure]

@@gnidnoeled786 In this example, we are assuming the overhang is horizontal, it is placed on the same horizontal line as the rest of the beam. That means, if we cut the overhang close to the joint that connects it to the rest of the beam, the effect of the distributed load on the beam would be the clockwise moment of 6 kN-m and the vertical downward (shear) force of 6 kN. If the overhang is inclined at an angle (say 30 degrees counterclockwise) relative to the rest of the beam on the horizontal axis, we can still cut/separate the overhang and replace it with a bending moment and a force. But the magnitude of the moment and the force depend on the orientation of the load(s) acting on the overhang. If, for example, the distributed load of 3 kN/m is still acting perpendicular to the inclined overhang segment, the bending moment that it produces at the cut point comes out the same: (3 kN/m)(2 m)(1 m) = 6 kN-m clockwise. The magnitude of the shear force also remains the same: (3 kN/m)(2 m) = 6 kN. However, the force needs to be placed on the beam at an angle. That is, the shear force is not going to be perpendicular to the main beam, the direction of the force is going to deviate from the vertical (y) axis by 30 degrees. The 6 kN force is going to be inclined by 30 degrees from the y axis pointing downward.

Will you please upload influence line diagram for statically indeterminate beams.

[@ohhyyeeeaaaahhh6596]

In 7:38 where does 5/6 at hinge and 1/6 from roller came from?

[@DrStructure]

Did you mean to write @3:38 instead of @7:38? If yes, the support reactions at the pin and roller supports can be determined using the static equilibrium equations. Writing the moment equilibrium equation about the left end of the truss, we get: (1)(3 m) - (Rr)(18 m) = 0 where Rr is the support reaction at the right support. Solving for Rr, we get Rr = 1/6. Then, summing the forces in the y-direction, we get: Rl + Rr = 1 where Rl is the reaction force at the left support. Since Rr = 1/6, Rl = 1 - 1/6 = 5/6.

[@sidiquebabarali4558]

sir if truck front wheel is at 10m from left support then force in member AB is 148kN

[@velazquezgarciajuanmanuel1443]

can it be applied in buildings? Why?

[@DrStructure]

Influence lines can be constructed for any structural system including building frames. We can use influence lines to calculate max/min internal forces in the frame members due to the live loads present in the building.

[@Emma_Junaid_Claire]

Dr.Strucrure Sir/Madam! You're using which softwares in your presentation?

[@DrStructure]

The bridge 3D modeling and animation was done using SketchUp. The content of the lecture was prepared in Illustrator then manually traced on an Ipad resulting in SVG files. VideoScribe was then used to generate movie (avi) files from the SVGs. Last, the entire lecture was put together, voice and additional animations were added using Camtasia Studio.

[@richiefromcanada4823]

Does temperature have an effect on load capacity? Example , Such as cold temps in Canada

[@DrStructure]

Significant temperature fluctuations could induce stress in members. So yes, it could effect the system. Consult your local design code to see it that is something one needs to consider when designing a structural system.
