International Institute of Information Technology Computer Aided Structural Engineering CASE Workshop Final Project

November 16, 2011

1. Construct a 3D tower as shown in gure 1. Using SAP answer the following? Create a 3D model Assign ISMB 300x300 section for all the members Assign the lateral loads to the members as shown in gure 2. Calculate the reaction at supports, deected prole of structure Calculate the axial forces in the mebers Find out the mode shapes(atleast 5) and fundamental period of the structure Calculate the displacement, velocity and acceleration time histories for the structure when structure is subjected to Uttarkasi ground motion.

* Note: Assume the parameters if required.
