4.1 Loading Task

The document provides steps to apply loading and set up load combinations in a structural model. It discusses creating loadcases, applying different floor loads, modelling wind wall and roof panels, applying roof loading, running the wind wizard to apply wind loads, and creating load combinations and envelopes.

Loadcases
The steps to create new
loadcases needed to apply
vertical loads
Loadcases
Investigate the existing loadcases in the model
● Open the model saved at the end of the Modelling task
● Go to Load > Loadcases and review the existing loadcases
● The existing loadcases should appear as shown below
Loadcases
Create New Loadcases
● Set the loadcases as shown in the screenshot below
● NOTE: Service load removed to reduce number of loadcases
02
Floor Loading
Applying different types of
loads on the floors
Floor Loading
Applying Loads
● Floor Loads will be applied in the form of:
● Panel Loads
○ Level Loads
○ Line Loads
● Element Loads
○ Line Loads
○ Point Loads
Floor Loading
Level Loads
● On all floor levels:
● Dead = 4.5 kN/m²
● Imposed = 5 kN/m²
Floor Loading
Panel Line Loads
● On St. 1 (First Floor):
● Dead = 1.8 kN/m
● See next slide for line load locations
● Note: Level Loads not shown in next screenshot for clarity
Floor Loading
Element Loads
● On St. 2 (Second Floor) & St. 3 (Third Floor):
● All loads applied on one of the two levels will be copied to the other
● Dead
○ Full UDL = 1.8 kN/m
○ Full UDL = 5 kN/m
○ UDL 1.8 kN/m
● Imposed
○ Point = 125 kN
● See following slides for load locations
● Note: Level Loads turned off in next screenshot for clarity
Floor Loading
Element Loads
● On St. 4 (Fourth Floor):
● Element Point Loads
○ Point = 50 kN
● Screenshot shows both Level and Point Load separately
● Take note that Level Loads are also applied to slab overhangs
03
Loading
Panels
Modelling wind wall and roof
panels preparing the structure
for additional loading
Loading Panels
Roof Panels
● Model roof panels on roof structure
● Set Roof Type Property = Duopitch
● Span Property = 90º
Loading Panels
Wall Panels
● All walls to span horizontally
● Walls on gridlines A, 1 & 7 set to decompose to rigid diaphragms
● Remember Rectangular tick box in Properties window - untick for non rectangular
panels
04
Roof Loading
Applying roof dead and roof
imposed loads
Roof Loading
Roof Dead and Imposed Loads
● Roof Dead
● Load = 0.1 kN/m²
● Measuring = Along Element
● Direction = Global Z
● Roof Imposed
● Load = 0.6 kN/m²
● Measuring = Projected
● Direction = Global Z
05
Wind Loading
Running the Wind Wizard to
apply wind loads onto the
walls and roofs
Wind Loading
Running the Wind Wizard
● Load > Wind Load > Wind Wizard
● BREVe - UK Grid Ref, All Options Off
● Grid Ref = ES298339, Orientation of North = 270º
● Accept all defaults and finish
Wind Loading
Create Wind Loadcases
● Load > Wind Load > Wind
Loadcases
● Create 4 loadcases
● 0, 90, 180 & 270º
● Use +Cpe
● Cpi = -0.3
● Loadcases reduced for
simplicity
06
Combinations
& Envelopes
Creating Combinations and
Envelopes
Combinations and Envelopes
Creating Combinations
● Load > Structure > Combinations
● Generate
Combinations and Envelopes
Creating Combinations
● Tick all USL types
● Align wind directions with EHFs
● Include EHFs in all directions
Combinations and Envelopes
Envelopes
● Create Max/Min Envelope
● Include all combinations
