  1. Types of structure Basic structural engineering By PIGSO Learning

  2. Types of structure • Load bearing structure – basic structural engineering • Framed bearing structure - basic structural engineering

  3. Load bearing structure • A load bearing structure has the components of a building which carries and transfers the load to the ground safely. • This structure guarantee stability of the building and its performance. Commonly walls, columns, beams, foundation

  4. Load Bearing Components of a Building 1. Load Bearing Walls • Transfers the loads form slabs above it to the foundation. These walls can be made of concrete, masonry or block materials. Most of the exterior walls of a building structure are considered as load bearing. • Any load bearing wall should have minimum thickness of 200 mm. 2. Beams • Primary load-bearing component of structure which can be made from wood, concrete or metal. The capacity of load bearing depends on the depth and width of the beam. • Beam is subjected to higher amount of shear and compressive force

  5. 3. Columns • The structural columns are one of the important elements in a structure which have effective role in the transmission of dead and live loads to the foundation 4. Braces • Braces are structural elements used in the framework structural system. This load bearing elements helps in stiffening the framework effectively. 5. Trusses • Trusses are load-bearing elements that supports the roof elements in building structure. The roof loads are uniformly transmitted to the truss. The truss is subjected to tension and compression forces. The trusses are not subjected to any kind of moments.

  6. Framed structure • Slabs >> Beams >> Columns >> Foundation • In case, of Load bearing, • Slabs >> Walls >> Foundation

  7. Type of Framed Structure 1. Rigid Frame Structure • These frames are built at the site. They provide more stability and resist rotations effectively. Advantage - They feature positive and negative bending moments throughout the structure due to the interaction of walls, beams, and slabs.

  8. 2. Braced Frame Structure • This frame structure resists lateral forces by the bracing action of diagonal members used to resist the sideways forces. • The structure is braced by inserting diagonal structural members into the rectangular areas of a structural frame.

  9. Advantages of Framed Concrete Structure • It is good in compression when compared to the other materials used for construction. • capable of resisting fire for a longer time. • long service life with low maintenance cost. • In some structures like piers, dams, and footings, it is the most economical structural material. • It can be cast to any shape • It yields rigid members with minimum deflection. • The yield strength of steel is about 15 times the compressive strength of structural concrete and well over 100 times its tensile strength.

  10. Disadvantages of Framed Concrete Structure • It needs meticulous mixing, casting and curing, all of which affect the final strength of the member. • The cost of formwork used to cast concrete is relatively high. • It has low compressive strength when compared to steel which leads to large sections of columns/beams in multistory buildings, cracks development in concrete due to shrinkage and the application of live loads is high. • If concreting is not done properly, the steel starts corroding thereby losing strength and ultimately the life gets reduced. Also, the repairs are then very expensive and difficult.

  11. Codes for Designing Framed Structure • IS (Indian Standard) 456-2000 • ACI (American Concrete Institute) 318-89 • ICC (International Building Code) 2009

  12. Enroll on the Basic Structural Engineering course by PIGSO learning to learn structural engineering from scratch. • Structure, their types and important • Members of structural engineering • Stress and strain • Young’s modules with their examples • Shear force and bending moment • Truss and many more..
