Carry out the structural analysis of a 2D frame, that corresponds to a two-story
building (Fig. 1). The construction plan is presented in Fig. 2. Consider only dead
and live loads, as well as only the gravitational load combination:

Figure 1. Frame

 Figure 2. Construction plan

The dimensions are: D1=6m, D2=3m, D3=4m, D4=3m

This analysis is one of the steps in a “Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD)”.
Consider only dead and live loads, as well as only the gravity load combination:

1.3 (Dead Load) + 1.5 (Live Load)

 The frame is made of reinforced concrete:

o Beams of 30 cm x 65 cm
o Columns of 30 cm x 40 cm
 The building is for offices.
