DESIGN OF STEEL COLUMN:
Solution:
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.
Self –weight = w = 0.822 kN/m.
Area of cross-section = A = 10466 mm2.
Radius of gyration about x = rx = 166.1 mm.

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 = 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-jointed 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
Ans.
Solution:
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.
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 &
The wheel are equidistant from the ccentre of girder, as shown 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 weight of girder = 2KN-m
Dead load due to self weight + 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 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 byproportioning we get.
My = (10.875/230.83) x 333.90 = 15.73 KN-m.
Shear force:
For maximum shear force on the girder, the trailing wheel should be just on the girder as shown below.
Vertical shear due to wheel loads = 230.83 + (230.83 x 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.
Let us try a ISMB 550 with ISMC 250 on compression flange.
