Problem Description

The vertical member of the structure is to

be designed against IS-800:2007 (LSM)
and the results are computed
subsequently. The member is laterally
unsupported.

The design values are as follows:

Design Forces – 20.5 KN (Compression)

10.0 KNm (Bending-Y)
51.6 KNm (Bending-Z)
1.2 KN (Shear-Y)
2.0 KN (Shear-Z)

Solution: Member Length L = 5 m

Material: Fe250
FYLD = 250 MPa, FU = 420 MPa, E = 2.05E+05 MPa
Section: ISMB 500

Check against Slenderness Ratio (As per Table 3, Section 3.8)

Effective Length factor along Local Y-Axis = KY = 1

Effective Length factor along Local Z-Axis = KZ = 1
Slenderness ratio about Z axis = λz = 24.74
Slenderness ratio about Y axis = λy = 142.13
Maximum Slenderness Ratio = 142.13

The section is safe against slenderness check as the allowable ratio in Axial
Compression is 180.

Section Classification (As per Table 2, Section 3.7.2 and 3.7.4)

Є = SQRT (250/FYLD) = 1
b/tf = 5.23 < 9.4ε=9.4
Thus, Effective Area for flange = 2*bf*tf = 6192 mm2
Thus, Class is Plastic for Flange

d/tw = 45.647 > 42ε=42 but < 84ε = 84
Thus, Class is Slender for Axial Compression but Plastic for Bending for Web
Thus, Effective Area for web for Axial Compression = 42*ε*tw*tw = 4370 mm2
Therefore, Overall Section Class is Plastic for Bending but Slender for Axial Compression
Thus, Effective Area for Axial Compression = 10562 mm2

Calculation of tension capacity (As per Section 6.2 and 6.3)

Net Section Factor = NSF = 1

Design against block shear is not performed. Thus, DBS = 0.0

Partial safety factor against ultimate tension failure by rupture = γm1 = 1.25(As per Table 5)
Factor for calculation of tearing strength of net section depends on no of bolts,
ALFA = 0.8 (As per Section 6.3.4)
Net area of cross section = Anet = 11070 mm2
Strength as governed by yielding of gross section = Tdg = 2515.91 kN
Strength as governed by tearing of net section = Tdn = 2975.616 kN
Design tensile strength of the the member (minimum of Tdg and Tdn) = 2516 kN

Check for Section Strength to the combined effects of loading (As per Section 9.3.1)
Axial strength = Nd = 2515909.091 N

Thus, Mndy = 41515151.52 N.mm
Mndz(1) = 297344798 N.mm > Mdz

Since the section is an I-section, as per table 17, Clause 9.3.1.1
α1' = 4.07E-02 < 1
