Scientific Material Summary

Tension loads.
this tutorial will illustrate how to create braces in Saab 2000 they carry tension loads
only no compression although the same technique could be used to define
compression only members as well by definition this is a nonlinear analysis and
although it is nonlinear this type of analysis may be done in any of the SAP 2000
versions
first we will add braces to the model using the quick draw braces command
next we will add a lateral load of 50 kilodaltons in the X direction at the top level
the next step is to select the two braces that we do not wish to carry any compression
loads
and using the tension compression limits command assign them a compression limit
equal to 0 this will prohibit these braces from carrying any compression mode
now we're ready to run the analysis note that the lateral case is linear static
but the analysis complete we will now display the axial forces in the model for our
lateral load
note that all of the braces have axial loads including significant compression loads in
the braces we previously assigned a compression limit of 02 how come well in order
for the compression limit to work we need to run the analysis as nonlinear to do this
we will unlock the model and go to the define load cases command .with the lateral
load case highlighted click the modify button ,we will leave the analysis type as static
but switch from linear to nonlinear .because we are now doing a nonlinear analysis all
combining of loads should be done on this load cases form rather than by using the
combinations command which is typically appropriate only for linear analysis .so for
this example we will add the dead load pattern to the lateral pattern and we will use
multipliers of one for both .now we can rerun the analysis note the lateral is now
nonlinear .this time when axial forces are displayed note that the braces the
previously carried compression now apparently have almost no forces moving the
cursor over the object chosen axial force of virtually 0 .again the tension compression
limit option is available in all versions of Saab 2000 but in order for it to work the
analysis must be done as nonlinear this concludes this tutorial on tension only bracing
