Project 2 - Review of Shear, Moment & Splice connections in StaadPro Connection Module
Aim - To design and optimize typical shear, moment and Splice joints in Staad Connection module .
Given Data -
i) Supports 2D Frame : Fixed support
ii) Spann : 15m
iii) Roof : Pitched roof
iv) Ridge height : 12m
v) Slope : 4 degrees
vi) Load : UDL of 10 kN/m on roof beam
vii) Splice joint location : At 6 m from base
viii) Hanger beam : Shear connected with column support of 4 m height from splice joint with a length of 3m with a beam
column corner joint carrying 5 kN/m load.
Procedure
Step 1) Create Geometry
i) Initially open the Staad software
ii) Create the geometry as per given data
ii) Define Material properties
iii) Define property for Rafter and Columns
RAFTER = ISMB 500
COLUMN = ISMB 550
Hanger Beam =ISMB 250
Bracing = DOUBLE ANGLE MEMBER = ISA 100*100*10
iv) Support Condition
v) Specification
i) Beam - Release My Mz
ii) Member Truss for bracings
Step 2) Loading
i) DEAD LOAD - Add Self Weight = – 1
ii) Live load
ii) CONCENTRATED FORCE = 5 KN at a distance of 1.5m
Step 3) Run Analysis
Step 4) CONNECTION DESIGN
1) Gusset Connection
i) Select the members
ii)Click on Gusset connection
iii)Select Design Code as= AISC 360-16 ASD ( IS 800 is not available for Gusset connection )
ii) Click on Edit option - No need to optimise further
iii) DXF view
iv) Report
2) CONNECTION : 2 - End Plate Beam Column Flange
i) Select the members
ii) Click on Basic Connections - End plaet BCF
iii) Assign it to the joints
iv) Click on Edit option - to optimise further
iv) DXF
v) Report
3) CONNECTION - 3 - Splice flange plate column splice
i) Select the members
ii) Click on Basic Connections - Bolted splice flange plate CS
iii) Assign it to the joints
iv) Click on Edit option - To optimise further
v) DXF
vi) Report
