Continuous beam with four spans is loaded by axial and bending forces (replacing imperfections). All supports are fork - warping is free. Determine displacements uy and uz, moments My, Mz, Mω and MTpri and rotation φx. The verification example is based on the example introduced by Gensichen and Lumpe.
The axial rotation of the I-profile is restricted on the both ends by means of the fork supports (warping is not restricted). The structure is loaded by two transverse forces in its middle. The self-weight is neglected in this example. Determine the maximum deflections of the structure uy,max and uz,max, maximum rotation φx,max, maximum bending moments My,max and Mz,max and maximum torsional moments MT,max, MTpri,max, MTsec,max and Mω,max. The verification example is based on the example introduced by Gensichen and Lumpe.
The model is based on the example 4 of [1]: Point-supported slab.
The flat slab of an office building with crack-sensitive lightweight walls is to be designed. Inner, border and corner panels are to be investigated. The columns and the flat slab are monolithically joined. The edge and corner columns are placed flush with the edge of the slab. The axes of the columns form a square grid. It is a rigid system (building stiffened with shear walls).
The office building has 5 floors with a floor height of 3.000 m. The environmental conditions to be assumed are defined as "closed interior spaces". There are predominantly static actions.
The focus of this example is to determine the slab moments and the required reinforcement above the columns under full load.
Using AISC Manual tables, determine the available compressive and flexural strengths and whether the ASTM A992 W14x99 beam has sufficient available strength to support the axial forces and moments shown in Figure 1, obtained from a second-order analysis that includes P-𝛿 effects.

A column is composed of a concrete section (rectangle 100/200) and a steel section (profile I 200). It is subjected to pressure force. Determine the critical load and corresponding load factor. The theoretical solution is based on the buckling of a simple beam. In this case, two regions have to be taken into account due to different moments of inertia and material properties.
A double‑mass system consists of two shafts and two masses represented by the corresponding moments of inertia, concentrated in a given distance as nodal masses. The left shaft is fixed, and the right mass is free. Neglecting the self‑weight of the shafts, determine the torsional natural frequencies of the system.
