DESIGN OF STEEL COLUMN:

Solution:

Flange thickness = T = 12.7 mm

Overall height of column ISMB 400 = h = 400 mm

Clear depth between flanges = d = 400-(12.7*2) = 374.6 mm

Thickness of web = t = 10.6 mm

Flange width = 2b = bf = 250 mm

Hence, half flange width = b = 125 mm

Self-weight = w = 0.822 kN/m

Area of cross-section = A = 10466 mm^2

Radius of gyration about x = rx = 166.1 mm

Radius of gyration about y = ry = 51.6 mm

Type of section:

b/T = 125/12.7 = 9.8 < 10.5

d/t = 374.6/10.6 = 35.3 < 42 (table 3.1 of IS 800)

Hence, cross-section can be classified as compact

Effective sectional area: Ae = 10466 mm^2

(Since there is no hole, clause 7.3.2 of IS 800 no reduction has been considered)

Effective length:

As, both ends are pin-jointed effective length, KLx = KLy = 3 m

Slenderness ratios:

KLx/rx = 9000/166.1 = 54.1

KLy/ry = 9000/51.6 = 174.41

Non-dimensional effective slenderness ratio, λ” > λ3.3X7^2/8:

= square root (fy/fcc) = square root (fy(KL/r)^2/π^2E)

λ” > λ = square root (2.5)*(174)^2 / π^2*2*10^5 = 3.83

value of φ” > φ from equation:

φ = 0.5[1 + α(λ-0.2) + λ^2]

Hence, α” > α = 0.34 for buckling class ‘b’ will be considered.

Hence, φ” > φ = 0.5*[1+0.34*(0.654-0.2)+0.6542] = 0.791

Calculation of x from equation x:

1/[φ+(φ^2-λ^2)^0.5] = 0.809

Calculation of fcd from the following equation:

Fcd = fy/ϒmo / φ+(φ^2-λ^2)^0.5 = Xfy/ϒmo <= fy/ϒmo

= 0.809*250/1.1 = 183.86 N/mm^2

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

Material factor, ϒm” > ϒmF/A – 6*Mz/BL^2 = 1.1 KN

Factored load = 1500 KN

Thickness of flange, T = 12.7 mm

Area required:

Bearing strength of concrete = 0.4fcu = 0.4*40 = 16 N/mm^2

Let size of plate, Bplate = 450 mm

Foundation using STAAD foundation:

QUESTION-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

SOULTION:

Maximum moment due to vertical load

Weight of trolley + 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 = 290*8 / 9 + 100/2 = 307.77 kN

This load is transferred to gantry girder, through two wheels, the wheel base being 3 m.

So, load on gantry girder from each wheel = 307.77/2 = 158.88 kN

Factored load = 158.88*1.5 = 230.83 KN

Maximum moments due to moving loads occur under a wheel when the c.g. of wheel load and the wheel are equidistant from the center of girder.

RD = 230.83*(3-1.5-0.75)+230.83*(3+0.75) / 7 = 148.40 KN

Maximum moment, Me = 148.40*2.25 = 333.90 KNm

Moment due to impact = 0.25*333.90 = 83.47 KNm

Assume self-weight of girder = 2 KNm

Dead load due to self-weight + rails = 2+0.2 = 2.2 KNm

Factored DL = 2.2*1.5 = 3.3 KNm

Moment due to DL = 20.21 KNm

Factored moment due to all vertical loads,

Mz = 333.90+83.47+20.21 = 437.58 KNm

MAXIMUM MOMENT DUE TO LATERAL FORCE:

Horizontal force transferred to rails = 10% of weight of trolley plus load lifted = (10/100)*(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*7.25 = 10.875 KN

For maximum moment in gantry girder the position of loads is same as earlier excepts that it is horizontal, hence by portioning we get.

My = (10.875/230.83)*333.90 = 15.73 KNm

SHEAR FORCE:

For maximum shear force on the girder, the trailing wheel should be just on the girder.

Vertical shear due to wheel loads = 230.83+(230.83*3) / 7 = 329.75 KN

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, L/40 = 7000/40 = 175 mm to L/30 = 7000/30 = 233.33 mm

Required Zp = 1.4 x M/fy = 1.4*437.58*10^6 / 250 = 2450 x 10^3 mm^3

Let us try a ISMB 550 with ISMC 250 on compression flange.
