Análisis estructural de un pórtico plano de cuatro niveles por el método de kani

Abstract

The following project aims to perform the structural analysis of a four-level flat gantry using the Kani method. This method performs a series of successive iterations in order to finally calculate the moments and shear forces in both beams and columns. With the already known values of the sections of the structural elements, we proceed to calculate the inertia of each element, we will calculate the rigidity of each bar, and then with these values obtain the distribution factors of all the nodes of the analyzed gantry and also obtain the moments of embedding of the beam with its respective load distribution. Calculated these values we proceed to make the iterations that are convenient until the values converge. Maney's equations are used to obtain the values of the final moments and the shear forces of each element, in order to make the respective diagrams.
