Frame Analysis: by Abdullah Lajam, Adam Joshua & Mohammed Alazzani

This document summarizes the analysis of a structural frame using the Prokon software. It describes [1] applying vertical and horizontal loads at various nodes, [2] analyzing shear forces, bending moments, and deflections in the frame's beams and columns, and [3] presenting results like maximum shear forces, bending moments, and deformed shapes.

• Methodology
• Load and Loaded cases
• Analysis of Frame
• Analysis of Beams
• Analysis of Columns
• Deformed Shapes. SD and BMD
• Structural Analysis is a process of analyzing beams ,
columns and frames in which it plays an important role
INTRODUCTION in forming a safe structure for people to live in and
helps us to reduce cost and helps the structure to carry
maximum loads (Live Load ) with minimum resources
METHOD
• To analysis any structural property , you will need a program to make things easier
In this project , we have used Prokon in which
• At first create a basic structure by filling in the values of nodes (Position) and then categorize each
node elements as beams and columns using beam option
• Then go to beam sections and select the feature of which the materials are based on using the section
database option nearby, in our case the beam and column specifications are from United States and
then go to supports and give fixed supports for both ends
• At the end go to nodal loads , give out forces for the ones passing through beams and column and then
press analysis to get results
LOAD AND
LOADED CASES
• For the analysis of the frame, we applied
the external concentrated vertical load and
horizontal load. At the node 7, we applied
the load of 73kip and at the node 2 and 3
we applied the load of 23kip (Frame for
Analysis). We are given with 1 load case
that is horizontal and vertical load and
located at the nodes ,Under applying these
loads, we will analyze the frame, beam and
column. For the analysis, we use W14 as
well as w12 for beams and columns
ANALYSIS OF FRAMES :

• Frame is the skeleton structure of the building. It is the combination


of the beams and columns. When there is a load on the frame , the
Load gets shifted to beam and then beam shifts the load to column
and then column load shifted to the foundation of the building. When
we see the deformed shape of the loaded frame, we can see that there
should be the 90-degree angle between the deformed frame members
as it was before the imposing load.
ANALYSIS OF BEAMS :
• Due to applied load on the beam, there are two types of forces produced in a beam.
• Shear force is the force produced in the beam when two parallel forces (applied force or resisting force)
acting oppositely to each other. At any portion of the beam, it is the tendency of the portion of the beam to
slide relative to other portion. In designing of the beam, engineer’s check the shear force resistance of the
beam. It is more important to check the shear force resistance of the beam than the axial force resistance of
the beam.
• Bending Moment force is the force produced in the beam when an applied force or moment produced the
bending in the beam. It is the force at a point due to applied force at some distance away from the point of
reference. Bending moment force produced the bending in the beam and cause the beam to rotate about some
point. Due to these forces, internal stresses produced in a beam causing deflection in the beam.
ANALYSIS OF COLUMN

• Column is a long vertical structural element which is used to transmit the beam load to
foundation of the building. Due to applied load, all types of forced produced in the
column like shear force, bending moment force and axial force. The main force produced
in the column is compressive force (axial force).
• Compressive force is the force in the beam which compressed and produced buckling in
the column. To design the column in construction, one should check the bulking and
compressive force in the column due to applied load. Short column usually fails due
• crushing of the column and long column usually fails due to buckling of the column

At the end of our project, we knew the great benefit of
structural analysis and how it could analyze Frames and
see the effect of applied loads on columns and beams and
their tolerance so as not to deflect or the effect of shear on
them. In our project, the Prokon program helped us to
CONCLUSION: draw the frame used in 3D, and it was easy for us to know
the effect of forces on the shape. Also, the program shows
us the shear force diagram, axial force diagram, and
bending moment diagram of the loaded frame with the
maximum amount they reach.
