1.Effective length factor determination problem.

Given: The column is of height 10 m and it is restrained at mid.

Hence, the actual length of the column is 5 m.

Solution:

1.The effective length factor of the 1st  cases:

For braced frame and shear wall the effective lenght is 

2L = 2*5= 10 m

Result: L = 10 m.

2.The effective length factor of the 2nd  cases:

For unbraced frame with a pinned base

2L = 2*5= 10 m

Result: L = 10 m.

3.The effective length factor of the 3rd  cases:

For unbraced frame with a fixed base effective length is 

1.2L = 1.2*5 = 6m

Result: L = 6m.

2. Design Axial strength determination of a column with its end conditions

Given : Column having fabricated by ISMB 300 with flange cover plate 200x12 mm, fy=250N/mm^2, Size of the column is 3m.

Solution:

The top of the column is having roller suport and the base is fixed.

For the column the KL is 1.2*L= 1.2*3= 3.6 m.

(Buckling class it falls under as per IS800 2007 table 10)

h/bf = 300/200= 1.5 and it is greater than 1.2 and tf < 40>

Hence, it belongs to buckling class a

Pd= Ae*fcd => 56.26*91.89= 5169.73Kn.

fcd= [(0.909*fy)/{fi+(fi^2-lamda^2)^0.5}] => [(0.909*250)/{1.65+(1.65^2-1.43^2)^0.5}]=> 91.89 N/mm2

here fi=0.5[1+alpha (lamda-0.2)+lamda^2]=> 0.5[1+0.21(1.43-0.2)+1.43^2]=> 1.65

lamda=sqrt ( fy/fcr)=> sqrt(250/122.85)=>1.43

fcr= Pi^2*E/(KL/r)^2=> (3.14^2*2*10^5)/(3600/28.4)^2=> 122.85N/mm2

From IS 800 2007 alpha = 0.21

Restlt:

  • Pd=5169.73Kn.
  • fcd=> 91.89 N/mm2
  • fi=> 1.65
  • lamda=>1.43
  • fcr=> 122.85N/mm2
  • alpha = 0.21

3. Design circular tube strut member for certain load.

Given : L= 2 m, Axial load = 400Kn, fy= 210Mpa, K=1, KL= 2000 mm, td= 80N/mm2

Solution:

Areq=F/td= (400*1000)/80= 5000 mm2

Pi*d^2/4=5000

d= sqrt((5000*4)/3.14)= 80 mm

For hollow circular section

D/t should be less than equal to 88E^2

E= sqrt(250/fy)= Sqrt(250/210)= 1.09

let t be 8 mm

So, 80/8=10 and 88*1.09^2=104.55 Hence Ok.

fcd= [(0.909*fy)/{fi+(fi^2-lamda^2)^0.5}] => [(0.909*210)/{0.67+(0.67^2-0.52^2)^0.5}]=> 174.73 N/mm2

here fi=0.5[1+alpha (lamda-0.2)+lamda^2]=> 0.5[1+0.21(0.52-0.2)+0.52^2]=> 0.67

lamda=sqrt ( fy/fcr)=> sqrt(210/788.78)=>0.52

fcr= Pi^2*E/(KL/r)^2=> (3.14^2*2*10^5)/(2000/40)^2=> 788.78N/mm2

 r=80/2

Pd= Ae * fcd= 5000 * 174.7= 873.5Kn hence safe.

Result: 

  • fcd=> 174.73 N/mm2
  • fi=> 0.67
  • lamda=>0.52
  • fcr=> 788.78N/mm2
  • Pd=873.5Kn

4. Design of laced column.

Given : h=10 m F= 1000Kn, Assume fcd = 200N/mm2

Solution:

Area= 1000*1000/200=5000 mm2

From IS sp 6.1 steel table we can take 2 number of ISMC 200 

The area of each ISMC 200 is 2821 mm2 hence for 2 ISMC 200 will be 5642 mm2

The fcd for  ISMC 200 will be (1000*1000)/2821= 354.49N/mm2

For 2 ISMC 200 and area provided will be 5642 mm2

From Sp 6.1 we get r as 80.3mm

Actual slenderness ratio is KL/r= 1*10000/80.3=124.53

The efective slenderness ratio for laced column is 1.5*124.53=186.80

from table 9C of IS 800: 2007  taking fy= 250 Mpa

fcd=40.98N/mm2

Load carrying capacity = 5642*40.98= 2312.09KN > 1000Kn.

Spacing between channels

Let it be clear distance d

Ixx= 2 * 1819.3x10^4 mm4= 3638.6x10^4 mm4

Iyy= 2(140.4x10^4+2821(d/2+21.7)^2)

Equatin Ixx=Iyy

3638.6x10^4=2(140.4x10^4+2821(d/2+21.7)^2)

d= 110.89 mm

Provide 110 mm spacing

Horizontal spacing = 110+21.7+21.7=153.4 mm

Vertical spacing = 153.4sin45 * 2 = 216.94 mm

ryy= 22.3

KL/r= 216.94/22.3=9.73 < 50>

Transverse shear to be resisted in lacing system is 

1000Kn*2.5%= 25000N.

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

length of lacing = (110+21.7+21.7)*(1/cos45)=216.94 mm

Minimum thickness for single lacing

Le/40=216.94/40 = 5.42mm

Provide 6 mm thick flat

considering 20 mm bolt hole

Hence width of the lace will be 3*20 = 60 mm

Result:

  • A = 5642 mm2
  • fcd=40.98N/mm2
  • d= 110.89 mm
  • length of lacing = 216.94 mm
  • width of the lace = 60 mm

5. Design of battened column.

Given : H= 5m, F=2000Kn, Assume fcd = 200N/mm2.

Solution:

Areq= 2000*1000/200=10000 mm2

from steel table sp 6.1 Provide 2 ISMC 350

Area = 5365mm2, rxx=136.6mm ryy=28.3mm, Ixx = 10008x10^4 mm4,  Iyy= 430.6x10^4 mm4

Area provied = 2*5365= 10730 mm2

Kl/r= 5000/136.6=40.26 

effective slenderness ratio = 1.1*KL/r= 1.1*40.26=44.29 

From table 9c of IS 800 2007

Fcd = 191.57 N/mm2

Load carrying capacity = 10730*191.57= 2055.55Kn > 2000Kn hence safe.

Spacing of batten = C/ryy<50 xss=removed>

C= 1415 mm

C/28.3<0 xss=removed> 0.7*44.29*28.3 =877.38mm

Let's provide C = 1200 mm

Transverse shear  (V)= 2.5% * 2000*1000= 50000N

Moment = VC/2N =  50000*1200/2*2=15Knm

Longitudinal shear = VC/NS = 50000*1200/2*320 =93.75 Kn.

Let it be clear distance d

Ixx= 2 * 10008x10^4 mm4= 20016x10^4 mm4

Iyy= 2(430.6x10^4+5365(d/2+24.4)^2)

Equatin Ixx=Iyy

20016x10^4=2(430.6x10^4+5365(d/2+24.4)^2)

d= 218.42 mm Provide d= 220 mm

Hence S = 220+100=320 mm

Thickness of batten t> Lb/50

Taking Lb = 220-50= 170 mm

Henc t = 170/50 = 3.4 mm

Provide batten thickness t = 4 mm.

Result:

  • Cross section area A =10730 mm2
  • Fcd = 191.57 N/mm2
  • C= 1415 mm
  • d= 220 mm
  • t = 4 mm
