Sometimes this material is very lexible and can take the form of a tent or air-inflated tructure. In both cases the material acts as a membrane that is subjectedifo pure tension. _ ‘Surface structures may-also_be made of rigid material such as-einforced concrete. As such they may be shaped as See ptates cyinders or hyperbolic Paraboloids, and are referred to as thin plates or shells. These structures act like cables or arches since they ‘support loads primarily in tension or compression, with very little bending. Figure 8. “Georgia Dome” in Atlanta, Georgia CE 314 ~ Structural Theory ANALYTICAL MODELS ‘An analytical model is a simplified representation, or an ideal, of a real structure for the Purpose of analysis. The objective of the model is to sit the analysis of a complicated structure. The analytical model represents, as accurately as practically pos the behavioral characteristics of the structure of interest to the analyst, while discarding much of the detail about the members, connections, and so on, that is expected to have little effect on the desired characteristic. Development of the analytical mode! generally involves consideration of the following factors. a. Plane Versus Space Structure If all the members of a structure as well as the loads lie in a single plane, the structure is called a plane structure. Although a great majority of actual three- dimensional structural systems can be subdivided into plane structures for the purpose of analysis, some structures, such as latticed domes, aerospace structures, and transmission towers, cannot, due to their shape, arrangement of members, or applied loading, be subdivided into planar components. Such structures, called space structures, are analyzed as three-dimensional bodies subjected to three-dimensional force systems. = .

Supports Supports for plane structures are commonly idealized as either fixed supports, which do not allow any movement; hinged supports, which can prevent translation but permit rotation; or roller, or link, which can prevent translation in only one direction. Figure 10. Framing of a Multistory Building ¢. Connections Two types of connections are commonly used to join members of structures: (1) rigid connections and (2) flexible, or hinged, connections. (A third type of connection, termed a semirigid connection, although recognized by structural steel design codes, is not commonly used in practice). A rigid connection or joint prevents relative translations and rotations of the member ends connected to it; that is, all member ends connected toa rigid joint have the same translation and rotation.

(1) dead loads (2) live loads; and (3) environmental loads, 1, Dead Loads are gravity loads of constant magnitudes and fired positions: that act permanently on the structure. Such loads consist of the weights of the structural system itself and of all other material and equipment permanently attached to the structural system. + Live Loads for Bridges ‘These are live loads due to vehicular traffic on highway and railroad bridges. 2.1 Floor Live Load Reduction For some types of buildings having very large floor areas, many codes will allow a reduc load for a floor, since it is unlikely that simultaneously throughout the entire example, ASCE 7-10 allow a reduction load on a member having an influence area (Ki« Ar) of 400 ft (37.2 m4) or more (40 m? or more on NSCP 2015), The reduced live load can be calculated using the following equations: it any one time, For baby (025 + BES . fa =ty(02s + 5) fet ton Rana A," au 5 €2156 cannon aang Hee, “Src Aas a arab Fear Pc teense »” (English Units) - Eq. 1-1 (Metric Units) — Eq. 1-2 \ y LOADS ON STRUCTURES 3 where: L = reduced design live load per square foot or square meter of area supported by the member.
