Structural Design Homework: Landing Support Analysis

In summary, the conversation discusses the load analysis of a staircase and landing. In the first case, the landing is supported by a beam and the load analysis is combined. In the second case, the landing is considered the support and the load analysis is done separately. The question is raised as to why this is the case, as the author believes the landing could also be considered the support in the first case. However, the loading conditions for the two cases are different, as shown in the figures.

Homework Statement


For the first picture , i was told that the landing is supported by the beam . So ,when we are doing the load analysis , the load analysis of the staircase and landing are combined . however , for the second example , the landing is said to be the support . so , when we are doing the load analysis , the load analysis of the landing has to be done separately .

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


Why ? I think the author is wrong . I agree that for case 2 , the landing is said to be the support of 2 staircase ( up and down) . For the first case , why can't i say the landing is the support ?

The first figure shows the loading condition of the first case ( first part is staircase , second part shows the landing ) , while the second and third figure shows the loading condition of the second case ( separated analysis for staircase and landing.)

1. What is structural design homework?

Structural design homework is a type of assignment that focuses on the analysis and design of structural components, such as beams, columns, and support systems. This type of homework is often given to engineering students to help them develop their skills in designing safe and efficient structures.

2. What is landing support analysis?

Landing support analysis is a type of structural design analysis that focuses on determining the structural integrity and stability of a landing or support system. This analysis takes into account factors such as the type of structure, materials used, and external forces to ensure that the landing or support system can safely bear the weight and impact of the load it is designed for.

3. What tools are used for structural design homework?

Some common tools used for structural design homework include computer-aided design (CAD) software, structural analysis software, and hand calculations. These tools help engineers and students to visualize and analyze structural designs, as well as check for any potential weaknesses or flaws.

4. How is structural design homework beneficial for students?

Structural design homework is beneficial for students as it allows them to apply theoretical concepts learned in the classroom to real-world scenarios. It also helps them to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as gain hands-on experience in designing safe and efficient structures.

5. What are some key considerations in landing support analysis?

Some key considerations in landing support analysis include the type of structure, the materials used, the anticipated load and impact, and the surrounding environment. Other factors such as safety regulations and budget constraints may also play a role in the design and analysis process.
