Analysis and calculation of wooden framework structure by using Structural Analysis Program (SAP)-2000 and method of joint

Abstract

Abstract Find out the force of the structure wooden framework is one indication in determining the dimensions of compression chord, tension chord, diagonal chord, and vertical chord. The value of each chord force is the main requirement in the planning dimension and joints connections in the structure planning of the wooden framework. Analysis/calculation of each of the chord forces in the wooden framework (tension chord, compression chord, vertical chord, and diagonal chord) using a method of joint and Structural Analysis Program (SAP-2000). Wooden framework span is 7 m, (α) = 30°, and the number of compression chord is 6. Results of the two methods will show the value of each of the chord force structures, the value of the chord force compared to see the accuracy of the structural analysis program. Analysis and calculation found the ratio of maximum and minimum value for each chord force using a method of joint and structural analysis program are 0.15 and 0. Based on research results, a Structural Analysis Program (SAP-2000) can be used to design and analyze a wooden framework, to simplify and save time in planning the structure of the wooden framework.
