STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS

FOR BUILDINGS

Structure of a Building

The primary function of abuilding structure is to supportand transmit the building loadsand forces to the ground.

System DescriptionA Framed Building is a structure whose weight is carried by the framework

instead of by load-bearing walls. The term includes modern metal and

reinforced concrete structures as well as timber-framed buildings.

Characteristics of a Structure

• Strength

• Stability

• Economic Value


5/24

Types of Structural Systems

•

• Load bearing structures

• Partial load bearing structures• Frame Structures

• Truss Frame Structures


6/24

Structural Sub-System

• Made up of many smaller structural sub-systems that

work together to provide a strong, stable, and cost-

effective structure.

• Examples of these smaller structural sub-systems include:

o Roof

o

Wallso Floors

o Framing

o

Foundations

Structural Sub-System

• Made up of many structural elements that work together

to provide a strong, stable, and cost-effective system.

• Basic structural elements include:

o Beam

o Column

o Truss

o Arch

o Dome

Forces and Loads

• A force is any action that causes a change in the shape or

motion of an object.

• A load is a force that is supported by a structural element.

• The terms force and load are often used interchangeably.

External forces or Loads

External forces or loads on a structures are determined after

finding the structural dimensions.

The loads define the type of structure to be constructed.

Once the structural form has been decided, the actual

design begins.

Loads


10/24

The design of structure starts with those

elements which are subjected first to the

primary loads.

For example, first the slabs are designed

then beams, then columns and then footing.

External Forces / Loads are specified in:

• General Building Codes

• Design Codes

Types of Loads

• Dead Loads

• Live Loads

• Snow Loads

• Bridge Loads

• Wind Loads

• Earthquake Loads

• Hydrostatic and Soil Pressure

• Other Natural Loads

Loads to Consider

• Dead Loads:

“Dead loads consist of the weights of the various

structural members and the weights of any objects that

are permanently attached to the structure.” (Hibbeler)

• Live Loads:

– Wind Loads

– Snow Loads

– Earthquake Loads – Other Loads:

• Blast Loads

• Variance in temperatures

• Uneven settling of soil


16/24

Beam Columns

A structural member that is subjected to axial

compression and bending at the same time.

The moment is

subjected to column

from beams so it istermed as beam
