Design of Steel Stool by SAP2000: Finite Shell Element Model Applied Loading

The document describes the finite element analysis and design of a steel stool using SAP2000 software. A finite shell element model was created to model the stool and plate. Material properties and an ultimate design load of 1320 kN were applied. The maximum deflection of the plate and stool expansion were within acceptable limits. Maximum shear and shell stresses in the plate and stool were also below the ultimate stress of 6750 ksc. A manual calculation of the stool as a compression member verified it met the design requirements. Shear checks of the stool and plate also confirmed their capacities exceeded the ultimate load.
