Simple Question

Post by jwaugh »

I am sure the answer is yes, but please confirm. When you apply a axial load to a beam element it applies the load through the centroid of the section correct? So if I have some arbitraily shaped section, and this section is applied to a cantilever column. If I apply a vertical axial load to the column, the top of the column should not move in either the local y or z direction, correct? Thanks

i don't think so. i think the vertical axial load is applied to the point that you make it as the local cord (0.0,0.0,) on your section. you can have a try for a fiber section.

That cannot be right define a simple section and put the local 0,0 outside the section or at a corner and place a axial load on it, you don't get any moments in the section. and hte top node doesn't move. The only thing that makes sense is it is through the centroid of the section. I just want someone to confirm I am thinking about this correct.

i have writen some scripts to do section analysis , the sections are RC "T","L"and "十", then i control the load-applied point by the loacl (0,0).i can get different result when the local(0,0) changes. so i need confirm too.

Sorry about the length, the section is fairly complicated and has a large number of different confined regions. But if you just put an Axial load on int, you will see that the nodes 2 and 3 have moved in the z direction. Why is this happening? Thanks

Sorry, that is a material model we developed for modeling bond slip due to strain penetration at the wall-foundation interface. Just take it out I thought I had removed all that stuff, the model isn't used anywhere in the analysis. And it will not affect how the thing behaves.

I remember in thin wall theory, where the warpping effects are significant, only when axial load is at the shear center (not gravity centroid), will no lateral movement be induced. Actually any sections other than think wall section will have such attribution, but in a much small scale. So I guess if you section is complicated, this might be the reason. :wink:
