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 = 1.964

Step :- 3

To calculate φ

h/bf = 1.60

> 1.2

T = 12.7mm

So, buckling class = b

α = 0.34

φ = 0.5(1+α(λ-0.2)+λ^2)

φ = 2.73

Step :- 4

Calculation of χ

χ = 0.216N/mm^2

The section is classified as PLASTIC

Step :- 3

Moment of resistance of the cross section

Moment Md = (Zpχfy)/γm

Md = 104.491kNm

< 391.50

Hence 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

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 mm

w = 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

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 :- 2

Base 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 σ1 = F/A+6*Mz/BL^2

= 10.60N/mm^2

< 16

OK

Min pressure σ2 = F/A-6*Mz/BL^2

= -9.04N/mm^2

< 16

C = L*σ1/(σ1+σ2)

= 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 :- 4

Shear 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 length

Bond strength in tension bd = 1.4N/mm^2

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

= 863.44mm

Let anchor 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 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

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

Factored wheel load = 375.833kN

Maximum moment ME = 634.21kNm

Let self weight of girder = 2kN/m

Dead load = 2.2kN/m

Factored DL = 3.3kN/m

M due to DL = 20.21kNm

M due to impact load = 158.55kNm

Factored moment due to all vertical loads

M = 812.99kNm

Step :- 3

Maximum moment due to lateral load

Horizontal force transferred to rails = 29kN

Horizontal force on each wheel = 7.25kN

Factored horizontal force = 10.875kN

Maximum moment = 18.35kNm

Vertical shear due to wheel loads = 563.75kN

Impact = 140.94kN

Self weight = 9.90kN

Total shear = 714.59kN

Lateral shear due to surge = 20.68kN

Let the distance of N>A> from, t,he tensio,n range by y'

y' = 388.93mm

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 classification

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 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

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.
