Calculation of Design Loads
1)Calculation of Dead load:
UDL on Rafter (Main frame):
Weight of roof sheeting = 5 Kg/m2
Weight of sag rods and braces = 5 Kg/m2
Collateral load = 10 Kg/m2
Total load = 20 Kg/m2 = 0.2 KN/m2
UDL on Rafters:
Bay spacing = 6m
UDL = 0.2 X 6 = 1.2 KN/m
UDL on Rafters from purlin:
Choose suitable purlin section for weight of purlin (IS-811)
Say Z = 270 X 75 X 20 X 2.55 = 8.77 Kg/m
Weight on rafters from purlin = (Number of purlin X Length of purlin)/Length of rafter
= ( 5 X 6 X 8.77)/15
= 17.54 Kg/m = 0.175 KN/m
UDL on main frame = 1.2 + 0.175 = 1.375 KN/m
UDL on gable frame = 1.375/2 = 0.687 KN/m
UDL on Column (Main frame):
Weight of side wall sheeting = 5 Kg/m2
Weight of sag rod and braces = 5 Kg/m2
Load from sag rods & braces = 10 Kg/m2 = 0.1 KN/m2 = 6 X 0.1 = 0.6 KN/m
Weight of grit (270 X 75 X 20 X 2.55) = 8.77 Kg/m
Weight on column = (5 X 6 X 8.77)/6 = 43.85 Kg/m = 0.438 KN/m
Total Load = 0.6 + 0.438 = 1.038 KN/m
UDL on Column (Gable frame):
Total load = 1.038/2 = 0.565 KN/m
Load on wind column:
Load from sheet and sag rods = 0.1 X 6 = 0.6 kN/m
Weight of grits (230 X 75 X 20 X 2) = 6.32 KG/m
Load on wind column = (6X 6.32 X 6)/6 = 37.92 Kg/m = 0.38 KN/m
Total load = 0.6 + 0.38 = 0.98 KN/m
- Dead Load on eave strut & Gutter:
- Point load:-
Weight of Eave strut = CS 270 X 75 X 20 X 3.15 = 10.7 Kg/m
Weight of eave gutter = 0.25 X 0.25 X 0.001 = [0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25] X 0.001 X 7850
=5.89 Kg/m
Load due to eave strut & gutter = 10.7 + 5.89 = 16.59 Kg/m
Load due to eave strut & gutter (Main frame) = 16.59 X 6 = 99.54 Kg
= 0.995 KN
Load due to eave strut & gutter (Gable frame) =0.497 KN
2) Calculation of Live load:
Live load on roof = 0.75 KN/m2 (IS 875- II)
UDL on Rafter:
Main frame rafter = 0.75 X 6 = 4.5 KN/m
Gable frame rafter = 0.5 X 4.5 = 2.25 KN/m
Eave gutter (250 X 250 X 1mm)
Load due to weight of water in gutter:
Main frame = [0.25 X 0.25 X 9 X 6] = 3.375 KN
Gable frame = [0.5 X 3.375] = 1.687 KN

Flange thickness = T = 12.7 mm.
Overall height of Column ISMB400 = h = 400 mm.
Clear depth between flanges = d = 400 – (12.7 x 2)
= 374.6 mm.
Thickness of web = t = 10.6mm.
Flange width = 2b = bf = 250 mm.
Hence, half Flange Width = b = 125 mm.

2. Design a simply supported gantry girder to carry electric overhead travelling crane
Given:
Span of gantry girder = 7 m
Span of crane girder = 9 m
Crane capacity = 250 kN
Self-weight of trolley, hook, electric motor etc. = 40 kN
Self-weight of crane girder excluding trolley = 100 kN
Minimum hook approach = 1.0 m
Distance between wheels = 3 m
Self-weight of rails = 0.2 kN/m.
Solution:
Step:-1
Maximum moment due to vertical load
Weight of trollley + Crane capacity = 40 + 250 = 290 kN
Self-weight of crane girder excluding trolley = 100 kN
For maximum reaction on gantry girder, the moving load should be as close the gantry girder as possible.

Ra=
This load is transferred to gantry girder, through two wheels, the wheel base being 3m.
So load on gantry girder from each wheel = 307.77/2 = 158.88 KN
Factored load = 158.88 x 1.5 =230.83 KN
Maximum moments due to moving loads occur under a wheel when the c.g of wheel load.
RD= 230.83 x (3-1.5-0.75) + 230.83 x (3+0.75)/7 = 148.40 KN
Max. moment, Me = 148.40 x 2.25 = 333.90 KNm.
Moment due to impact = 0.25 x 333.90 = 83.47 KNm.
Assume self weight of girder = 2KNm.
Dead load due to self weight + rails = 2+0.2= 2.2 KNm.
Factored Dead Load = 2.2 x 1.5 = 3.3 KNm.
Moment due to Dead Load =
Factored moment due to all vertical loads,
Mz = 333.90 + 83.47 + 20.21 = 437.58 KNm.
Step :- 2
Maximum moment due to Lateral force:
Horizontal force transferred to rails = 10% of weight of trolley plus load lifted = (10/100) x (250+40) = 29 KN
This is distributed over 4 wheels.
So, horizontal force on each wheel = 29/4 = 7.25 KN
Factored horizontal force on each wheel = 1.5 x 7.25 = 10.875 KN
For maximum moment in gantry girder the position of loads is same as earlier except that it is horizontal, hence by proportioning we get.
My = (10.875/230.83) x 333.90 = 15.73 KNm.
Step :- 3
Shear force:
Vertical shear due to wheel loads = 230.83 + (230.83 x 3) / 7 = 329.75 KN
Step :- 4
Priliminary Section:
Minimum economic depth, L/12 = 7000/12 = 583.33 mm
Width of the compression flange may be taken as (1/40) to (1/30) of span;
So, flange width can be taken as, L/40 = 7000/40 = 175 mm to L/30 = 7000/30 = 233.33 mm.
Required, Zp = 1.4 x M/fy =
Let us try a ISMB 600 with ISMC 400 on compression flange.
Step :- 5
| ISMB | 600 @1.22 kN/m. |
| A | 15600 sq.mm. |
| h | 600 mm. |
| b | 210 mm. |
| tf | 20.3 mm. |
| tw | 12 mm. |
| Izz | 91800 X |
| Iyy | 2650 X |
| R | 20 mm. |
| ISMC | 400 @0.49 kN/m. |
| A | 6380 sq.mm. |
| h | 400 mm. |
| b | 100 mm. |
| tf | 15.3 mm. |
| tw | 8.8 mm. |
| Izz | 15200 X |
| Iyy | 508 X |
| Cyy | 2.42 mm. |
Step :-6
Let the distance of N>A> from the tension range by y:
388.93 mm.
Izz = 1348.13x10^6mm^4
Zez = 3466240mm^3
For compression flange about y-y axis
I = 16766.7x10^4mm^4
Zey = 838333mm^3
Total area of section = 21980mm^2
Let plastic N>A> be at a distance
Yp = 580.88mm
Zpz = 4410317mm^3
For top flange Zpy = 1078488mm^3
Step :- 7
Section classfication:
For ISMB b/t = 4.90
< 9.4
d/t = 43.28
< 84
For ISMC b/t = 5.96
< 9.4
Hence section is plastic
Step :- 8
Check for local moment capacity:
Local moment capacity for bending in vertical plane
Mdz = fyZp/1.1
= 1002.34kNm
Mdz = 1.2Zefy/1.1
= 945.34kNm
For top flange
Mdy = 245.11kNm
Mdy = 228.64kNm
In the above whichever the minimum value is taken
Mdz = 945.34kNm
Mdy = 228.64kNm
Step : 9
Check for combined local capacity :
(812.99/945.34)+(18.35/228.64)<1
0.947<1
Step : 10
Check for buckling resistance :
Md = βbZpfbd
βb = 1
Lt = 7000mm
E = 200000N/mm^2
hf = 597.5mm
Iy = 17850x10^4mm^4
A = 21980mm^2
ry = 90.12mm
fcr,b = 417.43N/mm^2
λ = 0.744
φ = 0.95
= 0.97N/mm^2
fbd = 166.591
Mdz = 734.72kNm
Mdy = 202.84kNm
Hence 1.20>1
Hence section is unsafe against torsional buckling
Step : 11
Check for shear:
Vz = 714.59kN
Shear capacity = Avfyw/(3^0.5x1.1)
= 944755N
= 944.755kN
> 714.59
Now = 566.853kN
Low shear
Step : 12
Check for web buckling:
b = 175mm
n1 = 232.6mm
d = 519.4mm
t = 12mm
= 104.746
Fcd = 128.6N/mm^2
Buckling resistance = 629008kN > 714.59kN
Step : 13
Check for deflection at working load:
Vertical deflection:
Serviceability vertical wheel load = 251kN
Deflection at mid span a = 2000mm
Izz = 1348.13x10^5mm^4
δ = 25.32mm
Horizontal deflection
I = 16766.65x10^4mm^4
δ = 4.88mm
L/750 = 9.33mm
Unsafe in vertical direction but Safe in lateral direction.
