Challenge

To calculate dead and live load for industrial steel structures and to apply them using TSD

A.

Loadings

Dead load

Slab load = 200 mm

Finishes (50 mm) = 0.05 m x 24 KN/m3 = 1.2 KN/m3

Brickwall with cement plaster thickness = 150 mm

Unit weight = 20 KN/m3

Floor height ( GF to FF) = 5.200 m

Brick wall loading = 15.6 KN/m

FLoor height ( FF to Roof) = 19.868 m

Brick wall loading = 59.604 KN/m

Roof loading based on purlin size = 20 KN/m3 ( as per IS 875 part -1)

Ceiling load = 0.3 KN / m2

Live load ( IS 875 part -2)

Staircase = 5 KN /m3

Office = 3 KN /m3

Toilets = 2 KN /m3

Rest room =3 KN /m3

Equipment room = 10 KN /m3

Conference room = 5 KN /m3

Common room= 5 KN /m3

Roof loading = 0.75 KN /m2

Crane 5T

Crane capacity = 50 KN

Self Weight of crane = 40 KN

Wt of trolley car = 10 KN

The approximate minimum approach of the crane hook to the gantry girder = 1m

C/C distance between gantry rails = 18 m

C/C distance between column =5.85 m

Wheel base = 2m

Maximum concentrated load on crane = 50+ 10 =60 KN

Self wt of crane that act as UDL = 40 / 18 = 2.22 KN /m

Taking moment about B

RA = 76.66KN

RA + RB = 100

RB = 23.33 KN

The reaction from crane girder is equally distributed on the wheels at end of the crane girder

Maximum wheel load on each wheel of crane = 76.66 /2 = 38.33 KN

Max BM

Assume self wt of gantry girder as 1.5 KN /m

Total dead load = ( self wt of rail +self wt of gantry girder) 300 + 1500 = 1.8 KN/m

Taking moment @ D

Rc =38.32 KN

RC + RD = 38.33 + 38.33

RD = 38.33 KN

BM under wheel due to live load = RD x2 = 76.66 KNm

BM under wheel due to Impact = 0.10 x 76.66 = 7.66 KNm

Total BM due to live load & Impact = 76.66 + 7.66 = 84.326 KNm

BM due to dead load = WL ^2 / 2 = 1.8 x 5.85 x5.85 /2 = 7 .1 KNm

Max BM = 84.326 + 7.1 = 91.426 KNm

Max SF

Rc x 5.85 - 3.8 x 5.85 - 3.8x 3.85 =0

Rc = 63.2 KN

Max SF due to wheel load = 63.2 KN

Lateral forces

Lateral forces transverse to rails = 5% of wt of crab & wt lifted = 0.05 x (50+ 10) = 3

Lateral force on each wheel F1 = 3/2 = 1.5 KN

Max Horizontal reaction due to lateral force by proportion at c

= lateral force x reaction at C due to vertical load / max wheel load due to vertical load

= 1.5 x 38.32 / 38 = 1.51 KN

@ D = 2- 1.51 = 0.5 KN

BM due to lateral load by proportion = 1.5 / 38 x 63.2 = 2.5 KNm
