AIM OF THE PROJECT
• To develop a computer program using the concepts of Stiffness
method of structural analysis.
• To analyse a 5-story building using the software developed to
obtain all forces and displacements
• To check the chances of failure of every member using any
failure criteria.

INTRODUCTION

Development of Analysis of the

the Software Structure

BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus

DEVELOPMENT OF THE SOFTWARE
• Background Softwares
* MATLAB 2016 – For executing the algorithm of the
problem
* Microsoft EXCEL – Inputting data for the program.
• Application of the Software Developed
* The program can be used to analyse any 2-D frame section
* Calculates all Displacements, Reactions, Member forces
in double precision (up to 16 digit precision)
* Checks the safety of every member against failure using
interaction failure theory.

METHODOLOGY

ANALYSIS OF THE STRUCTURE
RESULTS ANALYSIS
• Displacement corresponding to every degree of freedom is
obtained . According to IS 1893-2002, maximum displacement
at the top story of a bulding should not exceed 0.004xh
h- total height of the building
In our case, this value is 78mm and every every displacement
is within the limit.
• The member forces and reactions for every member is
obtained and every member is checked for failure using
interaction failure theory.

RESULTS ANALYSIS
• Interaction Failure Theory
𝑃 𝑀 𝑉
For a member to safe against failure: + + ≤1
Pu Mu Vu
Where, Pu = Ultimate load carrying capacity of member
Mu=Ultimate bending carrying capacity of section
Vu=Shear capacity of section
P =Compressive load on member
M=Bending moment on member
• Applying this theory, the members were checked for failure.

RESULTS ANALYSIS

• Out of 34 members along shorter direction in outer frame , 11

members failed.
• Out of 65 members along longer direction in intermediate
frame, 23 members failed.
• Out of 65 members along longer direction in outer frame, 27
members failed.
