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.
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 = 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
Non-dimensional Effective Slenderness ratio, λ">λ3.3X728:
λ">λ =2.5X(174)2π2X2X105">√2.5X(174)2π2X2X105= 3.83
Value of ϕ">ϕts=√2.5w(a2−0.3b2)γm0fy>tf from equation:
Hence, α">α = 0.34 for buckling class ‘b’ will be considered.
Hence, ϕ">ϕ = 0.5 x [1+0.34 x (0.654-0.2)+0.6542] = 0.791
Calculation of x from equation x = 0.809
Calculation of fcd from the following equation:
= 0.809 x 250/1.1 = 183.86 N/mm2
Factored axial load in kN.
pd = Ag fcd= 10466 x 183.86/1000 = 1924.28 kN.

t = 5.7 mm
T = 10.8 mm
Ixx = 2235.4 cm4
Iyy = 150 cm4
Zp = 375.35 cm3
Moment of resistence of the cross-section:
= (1 x 375.35 x 250) / ( 1.1)
Md = 85.306 > 65.25 KN/m
DESIGN OF BASE PLATE:

Yield strength of steel, fy = 250 N/mm2
Material factor, γm">γmF/A)−(6XMz/BL^2)= 1.1 KN
Factoresl oad = 1500 KN
Steel column section:
Thickness of flange, T = 12.7 mm
Area required: Bearing strength of concrete = 0.4fcu = 0.4 x 40 = 16 N/mm2
= (1500x1000) /( 16)
= 93750 mm2
Let size of plate , Bplate = 450 mm

pojection on each side = a=b =25mm

e = (L-Ld) / 2 =75 mm
y = (L - C/3-e) = 294.04 mm
Tension in anchor bolt along the length of plate, FT = (Mz - Fa)/Y= 364.38
Tension per bolt = 91 KN
Shear per bolt = 1.63 KN
Shear Check
Factored shear force = Vsb = 1.63 KN
Vd,sb = 81290.9

Tb/Tdb = 0.92
Unity check = 0.85 < 1, Hence OK
