2.7 Checking for the stability of the structure under gravity loads.
Second order effects P-
The verification was done under the following case of loading
1.35 p + 1.5 L
In Sap2000 a new load case was create,type buckling.
After the analysis, the coefficient of critical loading crit was obtained as being 33.
Because if this the second order effects can be neglected and the structure is classified as
being a structure with fixed joints crit.>10

Key element method
Exceptional event: impact of a vehicle
2 facades are considered with the 2 shown columns.
Loads are considered for the impact with a vehicle:
-on X direction a force of 500 kN
-on Y direction a force of 250 kN.
-the forces are not considered in the same time.
Three situations are taken into account
1. Column 1 under force of 500 kN at 1.5 m height- X direction2. Column 1 under force of 250 kN at 1.5 m height- Y direction
3. Column 2 under force of 500 kN at 1.5 m height- X direction

Alternate path load method
Study the load redistribution within the structure following an extreme loading
A supporting member (column) is removed one at a time, to ensure that the building remains
stable and the admissible local damage is not exceeded.
After the removal of the member the structure must remain steady as a whole.
For this method, 4 simplified scenarios are taken into account. Each scenario considers the
removal of a different column form the ground floor.
First scenario: marginal column
Second scenario: corner column
Third scenario: internal column
Fourth scenario: Corner and marginal column
First scenario: Removal of a marginal column
Loads assessment
For the analysis the following combination of loads is considered
1.0 P + 0.5 L
This combination will be denoted as the Accidental combination
7/23/2019 Robustetea structurilor metalice
18/27
Step 1
From the accidental combination, the axial force in the column to be removed is obtained.
NED=1420 kN.
Step 2
The column is removed, and the axial force from the column is introduced as a concentrated
force
Step 3
Defining the ramp functions.2 ramp functions are defined.1 function for the loads from the
accidental combination and the other function for the load for the axial force in the column.
Function 1-for the loads from the accidental combination
7/23/2019 Robustetea structurilor metalice
19/27
At time equal to 0 - value of loading is 0
At time equal to 1value of loading is 1
At time equal to 4 - value of loading is 1
Function 2for the axial load in the column
The removal of the column should be made instantaneously.\
7/23/2019 Robustetea structurilor metalice
20/27
Step 5
A time history load case will be created, where the 2 types of loading will be introduced-the
gravity loads form the accidental combination and the loads form the removal of the column.
