TASK:

Figure 1 shows the plan of a commercial multi story building. The beam, column
and dimensions details are given in the excel file. It also mentions section AA along
the external wall which has six columns and section 6-6 with ten columns. The span
between the columns is shown in excel file. This assessment is divided into two tasks
as mentioned below. Consider all beam dimensions as 300 X 600 mm and all column
dimensions as 500 X 500 mm.

Figure 1: Building plan showing column positions and beam span of a multi-story
building.

1. From the Figure (1) shown above consider at section AA draw free body diagram
of columns and beams for section AA. Assume EI as constant throughout, and
consider the dimensions and loads given in excel file attached. The beam and
column connections are fixed. Using Moment Distribution Method calculate the
following details

a. The amount of the moment at supports

b. The amount of the moment at mid-span
c. The amount of the deflection at mid-span
d. Draw bending moment diagrams.
 2. From the Figure. 1 shown above consider at section 6-6 draw free body diagram
of columns and beams for section 6-6. Assume EI as constant throughout, and
take a uniformly distributed load and span as mentioned in excel file. The beam
and column connections are fixed. Using double integration method or slope
deflection method to calculate the following Details:

a. The amount of the moment at supports

b. The amount of the moment at mid-span
c. The amount of the deflection at mid-span
d. Draw bending moment diagrams.

Please keep in mind following things while writing your report:

I suggest you write report using MS Word and Equation editor for equations.

 Report Format
 Follow specified spacing. Generally use 1.5 x line spacing unless advised.
 Start with the title page (including your name) or student number as requested.
 Include your own field sketches or photographs. It is generally better to position
figures within the text rather than group them at the end of the report.
 Give a sequential number to all figures (Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, etc.)
 Add a brief, informative caption to the figures.

 Sections of the Report and assigned mark for each section

The Report should contain the following sections:

 Drawing free body diagram with given data
 Analysis for selected method
 Neat Bending moment diagram
