Beam Design 3.2.6

In this project we used MDsolids 3.5 to create a shear and moment diagram and calculated what beam we should use based on the equations and figuring out of the deflections loads.






















I enjoyed this project. It made me realize how many calculations go into selecting a beam. It is a lot of work for just selecting a beam.

Beam Analysis 3.2.4

In this project we used already set up equations to find the forces per beam we also used MDsolids 3.5 to create our shear and moment diagrams for us.



















I enjoyed this project! i feel like it helpe dme learn how to visualize shear and moment diagrams, it also showed me how much work goes into these calculations!

Beam Analysis 3.2.3

In This project we created calculatiosn and found the Max moment, forces on beams based on load size and drew a shear and moment diagram for the situation.












I enjoyed this project and seeing how much work goes into calculating all of the loads moments and such.

Keystone Library-Roof Framing

1. In this project we had to decided and went through the math to decide which type of roof framing would best fit for our keystone library based on the loads of the specific beams. My calculations came out to show that the exterior beams: 12k1 and the interior beams: 12k5

3. I liked this project, it was cool to see how much math and all the things taken into consideration just to choose the right roof framing system. Very interesting.

Keystone Library

1. In this project we edited a librarys foundation by addidng specific rooms, bathrooms, roofs, green roof, materials, doors, windows, and specific specifications based on the commercial code.  This project included adding onto the previous prjects we have done with this library.




Reflecton: I enjoyed this project very much. Creating a library to specifications but overall being able to place things where I want is fun. I learned very many new things about building on commercial building and new tools and ways to build things on revit.
