Problem 1 003

This document presents Example 1-003 for the SAP2000 software, which tests the application of distributed and concentrated torsional moments on a circular shaft. The example compares the software's results with independent hand calculations, demonstrating an exact match in outcomes. It details the geometry, material properties, loading conditions, and results for two load cases.

EXAMPLE 1-003
FRAME - DISTRIBUTED AND CONCENTRATED MOMENTS

EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
This example tests distributed and concentrated moments assigned to frame
objects, by applying torsional moments on a shaft. In SAP2000, you can apply
distributed (uniform, trapezoidal and triangular) and concentrated moments to
frame objects.

In this example a 1-inch-diameter circular shaft, fixed at one end, is loaded with
various types of torsional moments in two different load cases. The resulting
torsional reaction at the fixed end and the rotation at two joints along the shaft
are compared with independent, hand calculated results.
