SAP2000 Tutorial for CE470 Students

This tutorial demonstrates how to model and analyze a frame structure in SAP2000. It describes defining the frame geometry, material properties, and loading conditions including dead, live, wind and notional loads. It outlines assigning the loads to patterns, defining load combinations, adjusting member properties, running the analysis, and reviewing results for maximum shear, moment and axial forces. The tutorial emphasizes properly indicating member and joint labels for interpretation of the analytical output.

Tutorial to SAP2000 for CE470

PRESENTER : TZU-CHUN TSENG


DATE: 2017/01/30
Frame and Loading Condition

WDL =0.4  0.338=0.135 kips/in

PDL =67.4 kips WDL =0.135 kips/in W =8.19 kips

PLL =101.0 kips WLL =0.203 kips/in

A992Gr50 Steel, assume unfactored loads and 0.8


reduced stiffness.
3

Loading Condition
 Wind load equals to 8.19 kips.
 Notional load equals to 0.2% of total gravity load.
 Case1: 1.2DL+1.6LL+Notional load
 Case2: 1.2DL+1.0WL
4

Employing The Previous Model


5

Define Load Patterns


 Click on “Define-Load Patterns”.
 Create new load patterns “Dead”, “Live”, ”Wind”,
“Notional_dead” and “Notional_live”.
 Click on “Modify Lateral Load Pattern” and set the
notional load as 0.2% of the gravity load.
6

Assign Loads
 Assign the dead load, the live load and wind load
separately.
 The notional load would be assigned automatically by
the program.
7

Define Load Combination


 Click on “Define-Load Combinations-Add New
Combo”.
 Input proper scale factors and load cases.
8

Reduce to The 0.8 Stiffness


 You can adjust stiffness by changing the E value of
material.
9

Run Analysis
 Set all the cases as nonlinear cases and consider P-
delta effect.
 Click ”Analyze-Run Analysis-Run Now”.
 You should get results as below.
10

Analytical Results
 You can see maximum shear forces, bending moments
and axial forces for different load combinations as
below.
11

Analytical Results
 The results can also be showed as tables.
12

Reminder
 Please indicate the labels of each member and joint, or
I can hardly figure out your answers.
