Topics
Framing systems
- A Non-Framing System
- A Simple Framing System
- A Larger Framing System
- Note Similarities
- Load and Support Modelling
To understand how the system works, you need to be able to extract a single element and model it in isolation.
Structural Dissection
"Load smearing": a double-T example:
Stack framing vs. flush framing.
Key Concepts
- Modelling loads
- Dead Load: Calculation
- Live Load: Code lookup
- Environmental loads: Code lookup, analysis
- Approximation methods
- Load "smearing" (averaging non-uniform loads as uniform)
- Estimating loads exerted by supported framing.
- Tributary Area (a.k.a. contributary area)
- Tributary Width
