Q2. Sfd and bmd diagram
Ans. 
Sfd and bmd diagrams show the variation of shear force and bending moment along the length of a structural member.
• SFD (Shear Force Diagram) shows the variation of shear force along the length of a beam or structural member.

• BMD (Bending Moment Diagram) shows the variation of bending moment along the length of a beam or structural member.

• SFD and BMD are essential for analyzing the internal forces and moments in a structu...read more

Q1. What is difference between static and dynamic analysis
Ans. 
Static analysis deals with loads that do not change over time, while dynamic analysis considers loads that vary with time.
• Static analysis is used to determine the effects of loads that do not change over time, such as dead loads and live loads.

• Dynamic analysis considers loads that vary with time, such as wind loads, seismic loads, and vibrations.

• Static analysis is simpler and less computationally intensive compared to ...read more

Q2. How to perform spectral fatigue analysis
Ans. 
Spectral fatigue analysis is performed by calculating the stress response of a structure to dynamic loads over a range of frequencies.
• Determine the dynamic loads acting on the structure

• Calculate the stress response of the structure using spectral methods

• Analyze the stress response at different frequencies to assess fatigue damage

• Consider factors such as material properties, load history, and environmental conditions

• Use...read more

Q2. What is the difference between Fixed and Pinned connection in base plate?
Ans. 
Fixed connection does not allow rotation at the base plate, while pinned connection allows rotation.
• Fixed connection is rigid and does not allow rotation at the base plate.

• Pinned connection allows rotation at the base plate.

• Fixed connection provides more stability and resistance to lateral forces.

• Pinned connection is more flexible and allows for some movement.

• Examples: Fixed connection is commonly used in high-rise bui...read more

Q3. What is the rise and trade in stair?
Ans. 
The rise is the vertical distance between two consecutive steps, while the tread is the horizontal distance.
• The rise is typically around 7-8 inches, while the tread is usually around 10-11 inches.

• The rise and tread dimensions are important for ensuring safe and comfortable stair design.

• Building codes often dictate the minimum and maximum rise and tread dimensions for safety reasons.

Q4. What is the pitch distance in bolt?
Ans. 
Pitch distance in bolt refers to the distance between the centers of adjacent bolts in a bolted connection.
• Pitch distance is typically measured from the center of one bolt to the center of the next bolt in a row.

• It is important to maintain consistent pitch distances to ensure proper load distribution and structural integrity.

• For example, in a bolted connection with a pitch distance of 2 inches, the centers of adjacent
