Week 3 Challenge

1.Height of column is 10 m and it is effectively restrained in mid height in one direction (in Z direction) but free to move in other direction (Y direction). Bottom of column is Fixed and top of column is Free.Calculate effective length factor of columns in following cases

The height of the column is 10m and is restrained in mid height. Since they are restrained in both y-y and z-z direction we take the actul length as 5m.

a. braced frame and shear wall = Here top is free and bottom is fixed ; Eff Length = 2L = 2x5=10m

b. Unbraced frame with pinned base = Eff length = 2L = 2x5 =10m

c. Unbraced frame with a fixed base = Eff. length = 1.2L =1.2 x 5=6m

2.

Fy =250N/mm2

Fu = 410N/mm2

effective length = 1.2 x L =1.2x 3= 3.6m

height of ISMB 300 = 300mm , flange cover= 200 , Tf cover=12mm, tf =12.4mm . breadth of flange bf= 140mm

h/Bf =300/200 = 1.5 -> which should be greater than or equal to 1.2 acc. to IS800 tabl 10.

Hence the class is c, because of built up member.

rmin =ryy =25.4 from SP6-1 steel

From tble 9c , under fy=250

KL/r = 3600/25.4 = 141.7

for 140 => 66.2 & 150 => 59.2

by extrapolating we get 141.7 => 65.01 as design compressive strength.

To calculate the design strngth =

imperfection factor- alpha = 0.49

Pd =Ac Fcd

fcc =122.84N/mm

lamba = root of (250/122.84) = 1.426

alpha =0.49

∅∅= 3.38

Fcd = 92.19N/mm2

Pd = 5186.6KN

3.

L= 2m ,P= 400kN, fy = 210Mpa, K=1, KL =2000mm, let fcd = 80N/mm2

Area = 400x 10^3 / 80 = 5000mm2

π⋅d24=5000/24=5000

d= 80mm

For circular hollow section (semi compact)

D/t <=88 E22

e=2√250fy2502= 1.09

let t =8 mm

80/8 = 88 x1.09^2

λ= (KL)/r

r = 80/2 = 40mm

λ= 2000/40 = 50

Circular sections ae under bukling class a, table 9a

Kl/r = 50 at fcd @fy =210

Pd = Ac x fcd

= 5000x 1.76

=880000 KN

4.

Assuming fcd = 135N/mm2

Area reuired = 1000x1000/ 135 = 7407.40mm2

Assuming 2 ISMC 250 @ 298.2N/mm2

Area provided = 2 x 3867 = 7734 mm2

rzz=99.4m

Distance will be maintained so as to get ryy<rzz

Actual slenderness ratio = KL/r = 1x10000/99 = 100.60

For laced column effective slenderness ratio = 1.05 x actual slenderness rtio = 105.63

From table 9c of "IS 800 = buckling class c, table 10

fcd = 107 -(105.63 -100)/(110-100) x (107.94.6)

fcd = 100.018 N/mm2

Load carrying capacity = 7734 x 100.015

7735.39KN > 100KN hence ok.

Spacing between channels

Let it be a clear distance "d"

Now Ixx= 2 3816.8 x10^4= 7633.6 x 10^4mm4

Iyy =2(219.1x10^4 + 3867(d/2 +23)^2)

d= 86.18mm

Provide 90mm spacing

Horizontal spacing = 90+23+23 =136mm\

Vertical spacing = 136sin45 =192.304mm

ryy =23.8

kl/r of channel between lacing = 192.3/23.8=8.08<50;

Traverse shear to be resisted by lacing system = 2.5/100 * 1000 *10^3 =12500N

Shear to be resisted by each lacing system = 25000/2 = 12500N

Length of lacing: 90+23+23 * 1/cos45 = 192.30

Min thickness of lacing = 1/40 * 192.30 = 480mm

Min width of lacing if 20mm bolts are used = 3*20 =60mm

5.

P = 2000KN, fcd = 135 assumed,

L= 5m

Effective length = 1.1x 5= 5.5m

C/s area required = (2000x10^3)/135 = 14814.8mm2

Provide 2ISMC 350 @ 413N/mm2

A =5365mm2 , rxx =136.6mm , ryy =28.3mm

Ixx =10008x10^4mm4, Iyy = 430.6x10^4mm4

Area provided =2*5365

=10730mm2

l/r =x10^3 /136.6 =36.60

for l/r =36.6 & fy = 250 Mpa

Since it is a battened column KL/r = 1.1x5x10^3 /136.6 =40.26

From table 9c IS 800,

fcd = 211- (40.26-30)/(40-30)x (211-198)

=197.60N/mm2

Load carrying capacity =10.730 x 197.66 =2120.89 KN >2000KN , hence ok.

Spacing of battens,

C/28.3 <50, C<1415

It should also satisfy the condition

c/28.3< 0.7*40.26 ie C<797.55

Let us select C= 1200mm

vt =2.5/100x2000x1000 =50000N

Vb =vtc/ns =50000*120 / 2*250 =12000N

M=Vtc/2N = 50000*1200/ 2*2 =150000n-m
