DESIGN OF STEEL COLUMN:

Solution:

Flange thickness = T = 12.7 mm.

Overall height of column ISMB400 = h = 400mm.

Clear depth between flanges = d =400 - (12.7 x 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 mm2.

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 sectinal Area, Ae = 10,466 mm2

(Since there is no hole, (Clause 7.3.2 of IS : 800)

no reduction has been considered)

Effective Length:

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

Slenderness ratios:

KLx/rx = 9000/166.1 = 54.1

KLy/ry = 9000/51.6 = 174.41

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:

Maximum moment due to vertical load

weigth of trollley + crane capacity = 40 + 250 = 290 kN

Self-weigth of crane grider excluding trolley = 100 kN

For maximum reaction on granty, the moving load should ba as close the granty

grider as possible.

This load is transferred to granty grider, through two wheel base being 3m.

So load on granty grider from each wheel = 307.77/2 = 158.88 KN

Factored load = 158.88 x 1.5 = 230.83 KN

Maximum moment due to moving loads occur under a wheel when the c.g of wheel load & The wheel are equidistant

from the centre of girder, as show below.

Max, moment, Me = 148.40 x 2.25 = 333.90 KN-m

Moment due to impact = 0.25 x 333.90 = 83.47 KN-m

Assume self weigth of girder = 2KN-m

Dead load due to self weigth + rails = 2+0.2 = 2.2 KN-m

Factored DL = 2.2 x 1.5 = 3.3 KN-m

Moment due to DL= 20.21 KN-m

Factored moment due to all vertical loads,

Mz = 333.90 + 83.47 + 20.21 = 437.58 KN-m

Maximum moment due to Lateral force:

Horizontal force transferred to rails = 10% of weigth of trolley plus load lifted = (10/100) x (250+40) = 29KN

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 granty girder the position of load is same as earlier expert that it is horizonntal, hence byproportioning we get.

My = (10.875/230.83) x 333.90 = 15.73 KN-m.

Priliminary section:

Minimum economic depth, L/12 = 7000/12 = 583.33 mm

Width of the compressive 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 = 1.4x 437.58x10/250 = 2450x10³mm3

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