3 Loads and strength Discuss the types of loads acting on your structure and how these loads are resisted by the structural system. Use annotated the figures/photos to assist your discussions where needed. Support your discussions with information researched in open literature and reference clauses from the standards as required. 3.1 Vertical loads Determine the floor actions (in kPa) acting on the common floors/roof of your structure using AS/NZS 1170.1. 3.2 Wind actions Determine the design wind speed (in m's) acting on a wall of your structure using AS/NZS 1170.2, of Determine the design wind pressure (in kPa) acting on the middle of a wall and the corner of the roof of your structure using AS 4055. This section is simply to appreciate the factors involved in determining wind actions. Make reasonable assumptions and simplifications as appropriate and note in your report Choose the wall and wind direction which will produce the largest speed pressure) 3.3 Structural resistance of the frame Discuss how the vertical loads are transferred to the foundation and discuss how your structure prevents lateral movement from wind actions. Use photos of the frame and structural drawings (or the 3D model) to annotate the load path and support the discussion. 3.4 Strength of members Calculate the strength of 2 common structural members: Compressive strength of a column. Calculate squash load (section capacity) only. Provide your answer in KN and also convert to tonnes (if load bearing precast concrete walls are used, calculate using a I'm width section of the wall) Flexural strength of a beam/rafter. Calculate section capacity (in kNm) and then use the beam formulae to approximately determine the load carrying capacity (in tonnes/m)
