Calculation of Design Loads

1)Calculation of Dead load:

UDL on Rafter (Main frame):

Weight of roof sheeting = 5 Kg/m2

Weight of sag rods and braces = 5 Kg/m2

Collateral load = 10 Kg/m2

Total load = 20 Kg/m2 = 0.2 KN/m2

UDL on Rafters:

Bay spacing = 6m

UDL = 0.2 X 6 = 1.2 KN/m

UDL on Rafters from purlin:

Choose suitable purlin section for weight of purlin (IS-811)

Say Z = 270 X 75 X 20 X 2.55 = 8.77 Kg/m

Weight on rafters from purlin = (Number of purlin X Length of purlin)/Length of rafter

= ( 5 X 6 X 8.77)/15

= 17.54 Kg/m = 0.175 KN/m

UDL on main frame = 1.2 + 0.175 = 1.375 KN/m

UDL on gable frame = 1.375/2 = 0.687 KN/m

UDL on Column (Main frame):

Weight of side wall sheeting = 5 Kg/m2

Weight of sag rod and braces = 5 Kg/m2

Load from sag rods & braces = 10 Kg/m2 = 0.1 KN/m2 = 6 X 0.1 = 0.6 KN/m

Weight of grit (270 X 75 X 20 X 2.55) = 8.77 Kg/m

Weight on column = (5 X 6 X 8.77)/6 = 43.85 Kg/m = 0.438 KN/m

Total Load = 0.6 + 0.438 = 1.038 KN/m

UDL on Column (Gable frame):

Total load = 1.038/2 = 0.565 KN/m

Load on wind column:

Load from sheet and sag rods = 0.1 X 6 = 0.6 kN/m

Weight of grits (230 X 75 X 20 X 2) = 6.32 KG/m

Load on wind column = (6X 6.32 X 6)/6 = 37.92 Kg/m = 0.38 KN/m

Total load = 0.6 + 0.38 = 0.98 KN/m

Dead Load on eave strut & Gutter:

Point load:-

Weight of Eave strut = CS 270 X 75 X 20 X 3.15 = 10.7 Kg/m

Weight of eave gutter = 0.25 X 0.25 X 0.001 = [0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25] X 0.001 X 7850

=5.89 Kg/m

Load due to eave strut & gutter = 10.7 + 5.89 = 16.59 Kg/m

Load due to eave strut & gutter (Main frame) = 16.59 X 6 = 99.54 Kg

= 0.995 KN

Load due to eave strut & gutter (Gable frame) =0.497 KN

2) Calculation of Live load:

Live load on roof = 0.75 KN/m2 (IS 875- II)

UDL on Rafter:

Main frame rafter = 0.75 X 6 = 4.5 KN/m

Gable frame rafter = 0.5 X 4.5 = 2.25 KN/m

Eave gutter (250 X 250 X 1mm)

Load due to weight of water in gutter:

Main frame = [0.25 X 0.25 X 9 X 6] = 3.375 KN

Gable frame = [0.5 X 3.375] = 1.687 KN

3) Calculation of wind load:

Basic wind speed = 50 m/s for Chennai.

1.DESIGN OF STEEL COLUMN:

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">λ:

λ">λ

= (sqrt2.5X(174)^2)/(pi^2X2X10^5`= 3.83

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

Material factor, γm">γm= 1.1 KN

Factoresl Load = 1500 KN

Steel column section:

projection on each side = a=b =25mm

= 11.11 N/mm2

Therefore, Thickness of Base Plate, clause 7.4.3.1

Click on Staad foundation:

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:

Step:-1

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.

Ra=`(290X8)/9+100/2=307.77 KN`

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.

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

Max. moment, Me = 148.40 x 2.25 = 333.90 KNm.

Moment due to impact = 0.25 x 333.90 = 83.47 KNm.

Assume self weight of girder = 2KNm.

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

Factored Dead Load = 2.2 x 1.5 = 3.3 KNm.

Moment due to Dead Load = `3.3X7^2/8`= 20.21 KNm.

Factored moment due to all vertical loads,

Mz = 333.90 + 83.47 + 20.21 = 437.58 KNm.

Step :- 2

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 by proportioning we get.

My = (10.875/230.83) x 333.90 = 15.73 KNm.

Step :- 3

Shear force:

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

Step :- 4

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

Required, Zp = 1.4 x M/fy = `1.4 X (437.58 X 10^6)/(250)` = 2450 x `10^3`mm3

Let us try a ISMB 600 with ISMC 400 on compression flange.

Step :- 5

ISMB 600 @1.22 kN/m.
A 15600 sq.mm.
h 600 mm.
b 210 mm.
tf 20.3 mm.
tw 12 mm.
Izz 91800 X `10^4``mm^4`
Iyy 2650 X `10^4``mm^4`
R 20 mm.
ISMC 400 @0.49 kN/m.
A 6380 sq.mm.
h 400 mm.
b 100 mm.
tf 15.3 mm.
tw 8.8 mm.
Izz 15200 X `10^4``mm^4`
Iyy 508 X `10^4``mm^4`
Cyy 2.42 mm.

Step :-6

Let the distance of N>A> from the tension range by y:

388.93 mm.

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 classfication:

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 whichever 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 but Safe in lateral direction.
