EXAMPLE 1-002 FRAME - TEMPERATURE LOADING EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION The various types of frame temperature loads that can be modeled in SAP2000 are tested in this example using a cantilever beam and a propped cantilever beam. The beam is a 2 inch wide by inch deep rectangular section. In SAP2000, three types of temperature loads can be applied on a frame element: an overall change in temperature; a temperature variation along the element length in the local 1 direction; and a temperature gradient perpendicular to the element length (local 2 or 3 directions). For this example, each of these types of temperature loads is applied separately to both the cantilever beam and the propped cantilever beam. The free-end displacements in the cantilever beam model and the end reaction in the propped cantilever beam model are compared to independent hand calculated results. Important Note: Shear deformations are ignored in this analysis. In SAP2000 this is achieved by setting the property modification factor for shear to 0. GEOMETRY, PROPERTIES AND LOADING 2
