DESIGN OF STEEL COLUMN:

Solution:

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">λ3.3X728:

λ">λ =

    =2.5X(174)2π2X2X105">√2.5X(174)^2/π2X2X10^5= 3.83

Value of ϕ">ϕϕts=√2.5w(a2−0.3b2)γm0fy>tf from equation: 

Hence, α">αα = 0.34 for buckling class ‘b’ will be considered.
Hence, ϕ">ϕϕ = 0.5 x [1+0.34 x (0.654-0.2)+0.6542] = 0.791

Calculation of x from equation x:

 = 0.809

Calculation of fcd from the following equation:

= 0.809 x 250/1.1 = 183.86 N/mm2

Factored axial load in kN.
pd = Ag fcd
    = 10466 x 183.86/1000 = 1924.28 kN.

A = 323.3 mm2

D = 200mm

B = 100mm

t = 5.7 mm

T = 10.8 mm

Ixx = 2235.4 cm4

Iyy = 150 cm4

Zp = 375.35 cm3

Moment of resistence of the cross-section:

Md = βbZpfyγm0">βbZp/fyγm

      = (1 x 375.35 x 250) / ( 1.1)

Md = 85.306 > 65.25 KN/m

             Minimum pressure =

                                         = -9.04 N/mm2 < 16 Hence OK

 Centroid = = 242.89 mm

a =L/2-C/3 = 144.04 mm

e = (L-Ld) / 2 =75 mm

y = (L - C/3-e) = 294.04 mm

Tension in anchor bolt along the length of plate, FT = (Mz - Fa)/Y

                                                                          = 364.38

Factored shear force = Vsb = 1.63 KN

                                 Vd,sb = 81290.9 N

                                          = 81 KN

Vsb/Vdb = 0.025

Tb/Tdb = 0.92

Unity check = 0.85 <  1, Hence OK

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:

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=290X89+1002=307.77KN">290X8/9+100/2=307.77KN

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 &

The wheel are equidistant from the ccentre of girder, as shown below.

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

                                7

Max. moment, Me = 148.40 x 2.25 = 333.90 KN-m

Moment due to impact = 0.25 x 333.90 = 83.47 KN-m

Assume self weight of girder = 2KN-m

Dead load due to self weight  + rails = 2+0.2= 2.2 KN-m

Factored DL = 2.2 x 1.5 = 3.3 KN-m

Moment due to DL = = 20.21 KN-m

Factored moment due to all vertical loads,

Mz = 333.90 + 83.47 + 20.21 = 437.58 KN-m

 

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 byproportioning we get.

My = (10.875/230.83) x 333.90 = 15.73 KN-m.

 

Shear force:

For maximum shear force on the girder, the trailing wheel should be just on the girder as shown below.

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

 

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

Required, Zp = 1.4 x M/fy = 1.4X437.58X106250">1.4X437.58X10^6/250 = 2450 x 103">10^3mm3

Let us try a ISMB 550 with ISMC 250 on compression flange.
