Assignment 3: Strut and Tie Modelling

This is a group assignment. Only ONE submission is required per group

Due Date:      To be submitted by Friday 11th  October 2024

Due Time:      By 23:59pm

Weighting:      25%

Submission Location:     A pdf file  submitted  Via Canvas. The file name should be “XX_YY” where XX is the student number of person 1 and YY is the student number of person 2.

Late Submission:      Late Assignments will incur a penalty of 10% of the maximum mark per calendar day regardless of the mark awarded. An extension will only be granted by the Lecturer under exceptional circumstances. In all cases, documented evidence must be provided.

Notes:

•    You may work as an individual or in groups of 2 (BUT NO MORE THAN 2).

•    Where identical, or near identical assignments are submitted such that it is apparent that one is

essentially a copy of another then BOTH assignments will receive a mark of ZERO regardless of which is the original.

•    If working in groups each student will receive the same mark regardless of contribution.

•    Reference to Australian Standards, ordinances, design aids should be placed in a separate column next to the design calculations.

•    Any assumptions made should be detailed in the calculations.

•    If the material provided does not supply the required information, the relevant Australian Standard should be used to supplement as required.

•    On the front cover of your submission provide your names, student numbers and the below statement:

The work contained within is solely the work of “STUDENT NAME #1” and STUDENT NAME #2 except where clear reference to a third party is made within the text of the assignment.

TASK

In this exercise you are to design the deep beam below to AS3600:2018 using the strut and tie method. You will need to determine the thickness of the wall as part of your analysis. All other dimensions are provided in the Figure below (dimensions in mm). You are to adopt φc=0.65, φs = 0.85, and fsy  = 500 MPa. You are also to detail the deep beam and produce drawings suitable enough for a contractor to construct with.
