A two storied two dimensional RCC frame is subjected to. wind forces
F1=0. 340.1 Sin(0.01t) and F,=0. 4 40.2 Sin(0.01t) at roof and first floor level,
Fi and Fz are in tonne, Column size ~ 300 x 450 mm, Grade of concrete- M30.
Storey height = 6 m Weight at roof and first floor level are 200 kN and 250 kN
respectively. Consider a two lumped mass model. Calculate the tip displacement at time
t=t/10 33
A 100 m high RCC chimney has to be constructed in Kolkata at a place where no major
obstructions exist. Calculate the design wind pressure at 10m, 35m, 50m, 70 and 100m
level of the chimney using “ Gust Factor method " of 18875 — Part Il. 1987, External
and internal diameter of the chimney are 4m and 3m respectively, Grade of concrete
MAO. Calculate also approximate bending moment and shear force at SOm from base
level.
