PORTAL METHOD and CANTILEVER METHOD

The behavior of a structure subjected to horizontal forces depends on its height to width ratio. The deformation in low-rise structures, where the height is smaller than its width, is characterized predominantly by shear deformations. In high rise building, where height is several times greater than its lateral dimensions, is dominated by bending action. To analyze the structures subjected to horizontal loading we have two methods. Portal method  and Cantilever method 1. PORTAL METHOD The portal method is an approximate analysis used for analysing building frames subjected to lateral loads such as Wind loads/ seismic forces.  Since shear deformations are dominant in low rise structures, the method makes simplifying assumptions regarding horizontal shear in columns.  Each bay of a structure is treated as a portal frame, and horizontal force is distributed equally among them. Assumptions in portal method   1. The points of inflection are located at the mid-height of e...

Support reactions in beams due to an applied couple or moment

  couple of Forces A couple is defined as two parallel forces with the same magnitude    but opposite in direction separated by a perpendicular distance d. The net external effect of a couple is that the net force equals zero and the magnitude of the net moment equals = F.d  The resultant of a couple at any point is always a pure constant moment  and equal to        M = F d Problem : 2.7 A 6 m-long simply supported beam carries a anti clockwise couple 400 N-m and a point load as shown in Fig. Calculate support reactions Solution: Let the vertical reaction at support A is Ra and at support B is Rb . Here the vertical forces are upwards reactive forces Ra ,Rb and downward point load of 1000 N. The horizontal pair of forces are formed as a couple and its resultant is a moment of 400N-m Apply the  equilibrium equation is: ∑ Fy = 0 R a  + R b  - 1000 = 0       R a  + R b    = 1000...

Relation between Modulus of Elasticity and Modulus of Rigidity

Modulus of Elasticity (E)   It is the ratio between Normal stress to Normal strain within the elastic limit. Elastic Modulus E = Normal stress/Normal strain E =  s/e Modulus of Rigidity (G)  It is the ratio between Shear stress to Shear strain within the elastic limit. Rigidity Modulus G = Shear stress/ Shear strain G =    Ƭ / ø   Relation between Modulus of Elasticity and Modulus of Rigidity: Consider a solid cube  PQRS is  subjected to a shearing force F.  Let  Ƭ     be the shear stress produced in the faces PQ and RS due to this shear force. The complementary shear stress consequently produced in the vertical faces PS and RQ is also equal to same and shown in figure as Ƭ   Due to the pure shearing force, the cube is deformed PQRS to PQR'S' . The point   S moved to S' and point R moved to R' as shown in fig.  The shear strain = The angle of distortion  ø           ...
