How would I go about calculating the capacity of an arched roof frame supporting on outwards sloping members?
I have performed a nonlinear analysis to account for arch spreading and large deformations as well as p-delta effects.
I have modeled palstic hinges to account for material nonlinearity.
I have 2 load cases that I am interested in. One being a symmetric load cases, and the other being an asymmetric load case.
I have determined the force effects resulting from each load case.
What is the next step? Should I be using an interaction equation?
If my frame is laterally restrained in the out of plane direction what other checks are necessary?
Thanks.
