Conceptual Design Analysis

1. Discretization of Physical Model - Mechanism / 1. ULS and SLS loading combinations

Determinate / Indeterminate Structures 2. Structural analysis - mathematics
3. Force – internal distribution of effects
Loading • bending moment (kNm)
• axial (kN)
1. Load – externally applied load • shear (kN)
• mass - kg / tonnes • torsion (kNm)
• load – kN 4. Deflections – externally displacements
• pressure - kPa
2. Dead load - externally applied v. DL (self- Design
weight)
3. Superimposed dead load - externally applied v. 1. ULS Capacity
SDL - Stress
4. Live load - externally applied v. LL • normal (direct) stress
5. NHL load - externally applied h. NHL • shear stress
6. Wind load - externally applied h. WL 2. SLS Capacity
7. EQ load - externally applied h. EQ
