Web criterion d/t = 35.34

ε = 1

b/T < 10.5

d/t < 42

The section is classified as COMPACT

Step :- 2

Effective length

As both ends pin-jointed

KLx = 9m

KLy = 9m

KLz = 9m

Slenderness ratio

KLx/rx = 54.18

KLy/ry = 174.42

Non-dimensional effective slenderness ratio

λ = 1.964Step :- 3

To calculate φ

h/bf = 1.60

> 1.2

T = 12.7mm

So, buckling class = b

α = 0.34

θ = 0.5(1+α(λ-0.2)+λ^2)

θ = 2.73

Step :- 4

Claculation of χ

χ = 0.216N/mm^2

Step :- 5

Calculation of fcd

fcd = χfy/γm

= 49.17

Step :- 6

Web criterion (D-2T)t = 32.61

ε = 1

B/2T < 9.4

(D-2T)/t < 83.9

The section is classified as PLASTIC

Step :- 3

Moment of resistance of the cross section

Moment Md = (Zpχfy)/γm

Md = 104.491kNm

< 391.50Hence section ISMB 250 is adequate for flexure

Step :- 4

Shear resistance of the cross section

Shear capacity Vc = 0.6fyAv/γm

Av = 1725mm^2

Vc = 235.23kN

V = 261kN

V/Vc = 1.11

.> 0.6

Step :- 5

Check for web buckling

Slenderness ratio of web = 2.5d/t

d = 225mm

= 70.33mm

Design compressive stress fc = 203N/mm^2

Pw = 315.16kN

> 261

Hence web is safe against shear buckling

Step :- 6

Check for web crippling at support

Root radius of ISMB250 R = 13mm

tf + R = 25.5mm

Dispersion length n^2 = 63.75mm

Pcrip = 245625N

= 245.63kN

< 261

Hence section adequate for web crippling Step :- 7

Check for serviceability Deflection

Design load = 58kN/m

Deflection δ = 95.36mm

Allowable deflection = 30mm

Hence serviceability is satisfied

  1. c) Base plate :-

Step :- 1

Strength of concrete fcu = 40 N/mm^2

Yield strength of steel fy = 250 N/mm^2

Material factor γm = .kN

Factored load = 1500 kN

Step :- 2

Steel column section

Thickness of flange T = 12.7 mm

Step :- 3

Area required

Bearing strength of concrete = 0.4fcu

= 16 N/mm^2

Area required = 93750 mm^2

Let size of plate

Bplate = 350 mm

Dplate = 350 mm

Area of plate = 122500 mm^2

Let projection on each side

a = b

= 25 mmw = 12.24 N/mm^2

Thickness of slab base ts = 7.7 mm

< 12.70 mm

So use base plate of size 350mmx350mmx12mm.

  1. d) Pedestal :-

Grade of concrete = 40N/mm^2

Load = 123kN

Moment = 116kNm

Depth of column D = 300mm

Width of column W = 250mm

Step :- 1

Anchor Bolt Details

Dia of anchor bolt = 24mm

No of anchor bolt on each side = 4

Total number of anchor bolt,n = 8

Gross area of the bolt 'Asb' = 452.16mm^2

Net area of the bolt 'Anb' = 352mm^2

Ultimate tensile strength of the bolt fub = 400N/mm^2

Fyb(Anchor bolt) = 240N/mm^2

Step :- 2Base plate details

Ultimate tensile strength of a plate,fu = 490N/mm^2

Thickness of plate = 16mm

Yield stress of plate = 330N/mm^2

Step :- 3

Anchor bolt design

Area of the plate = 157500mm^2

Stress Max pressure ζ1 = F/A+6*Mz/BL^2

= 10.60N/mm^2

< 16

OK

Min pressure ζ2 = F/A-6*Mz/BL^2

= -9.04N/mm^2

< 16

C = L*ζ1/(ζ1+ζ2)

= 242.89mm

a = L/2-C/3

= 144.04mm

e = (L-Ld)/2

= 75mm

y = (L-C/3-e)

= 294.04mm

Tension in anchor bolts along the length of plate

FT = (Mz-Fxa)/y

= 364.38

Tension per bolt = 91.10kN

shear per bolt,V = 1.63kN

Step :- 4Shear check

Factored shear force Vsb = 1.63kN

Vd,sd = 81290.9N

= 21.291kN

Factored Vd,sb = 65.03kN

Step :- 5

Tensile check

Factored tensile force in bolt Tb = 91.10kN

Tensile strength of bolt Td,b = Tnb/γmb

Tn,b = 0.9fubAn

= 126720N

= 126.72kN

Tn,b = fybAsb(γmb/γmo)

= 123316N

= 123.316kN

Lesser of two =123.32kN

So, Td,b = 98.65kN

Step :- 6

Combined unity check

(Vsb/Vdb)^2+(Tb/Tdb)^2

Vsb/Vdb = 0.025

Tb/Tdb = 0.92

Unity check = 0.85

< 1

Hence OK

Step :- 7

Anchor bolt lengthBond strength in tension bd = 1.4N/mm^2

Anchor length required = Tb/(3.14*d*ηbd)

= 863.44mm

Let anchor bolt bolt length = 900mm

2) Design a simply supported gantry girder to carry electric overhead travelling crane

Step :- 1

Span of gantry girder = 7 m

Span of crane girder = 9 m

Crane capacity = 250 kNSelf-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

Step :- 2

Maximum moment due to vertical load

Weight of trolley + weight of load lifted = 290kN

Self weight of crane girder = 100kN

For maximum reaction on girder, the moving load should be as close to the gantry as possible

Reaction at A RA = 501kN

Reaction at B RB = 281.875kN

Load on gantry girder from each wheel = 251kN

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

= 1002.34kNmMdz = 1.2Zefy/1.1

= 945.34kNm

For top flange

Mdy = 245.11kNm

Mdy = 228.64kNm

In the above which ever 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

θ = 0.95

= 0.97N/mm^2fbd = 166.591

Mdz = 734.72kNm

Mdy = 202.84kNm

Hence 1.20>1

Hence section is unsafe against torsional buckling
