Structu4l ST33L De3sign Problem

The document describes 4 situations involving structural steel design problems and calculations. Situation 1 involves calculating the tensile capacity of a bolted connection based on gross area, effective net area, and block shear strength. Situation 2 involves calculating the permissible tensile load of a lap connection based on shear capacity, bearing capacity, and block shear of the bolts. Situation 3 involves calculating the allowable bending stress and moment capacity of a simply supported steel beam. Situation 4 involves calculating the tension rupture capacity of a plate in a bolted connection based on its net area.

hole diameter equal to 3 mm bigger than the bolt diameter, the angular section is 100 x
75 x 8 mm, with an area of 1340 mm2. Thickness of the gusset plate is 9 mm. the
gusset plate and the angle are A36 steel

1. Determine the tensile capacity of the connection based on gross area


Sol’n:
T = 0.6 Fy Ag
T = 0.6(250)(1340)
T = 201000 N
T = 201 kN

2. Determine the tensile capacity of the connection based on effective net area
using a reduction factor of 0.85
Sol’n:
T =0.5 Fu Ae
Ae = 0.85 An
Diameter of hole = 18 + 3 = 21
An = (100 -21)(8)
An = 632 mm2
Ae = 0.85(632)
Ae = 537.20 mm2

T = 0.5 Fu Ae
T = 0.5(400)(537.20)
= 107440 N
T = 107.44 Kn
3. Determine the tensile capacity of the connection based on block shear strength.\
Sol’n:
Av =[ 256.25−3 ( 21 ) −10.5 ] (8)
Av = 182.75(8)
Av = 1462 mm2
At = 8(37.5 – 10.5)
At = 216 mm2

T = 0.3 Fu Av + 0.50 Fu At
T = 0.3(400)(1462) + 0.50(400)(216)
T = 218640 N
T = 218.64 kN

SITUATION 2
Two plates each with thickness t = 16 mm are bolted together with 6 – 22 mm Ø
forming a lap connection. Bolt spacing are as follows: S 1 = 40 mm, S2 =80mm, S3 =
100mm. bolt Hole diameter is 25 mm.
Allowable stress:

Tensile stress on net area of the plate
Ft = 0.50 Fu
Shear stress of the bolt: Fv = 120MPa

shear capacity of the bolt .

5. Calculate the permissible tensile load P under the following conditions Based on
bearing capacity of the bolt
Sol’n:
P =Ab Fb
P =16(22)(6)(1.2)(400)
P = 1013760 N
P = 1013.76 kN

6. Calculate the permissible tensile load P under the following conditions based on
block shear.

Sol’n:

Av = (200 – 25 – 25 -12.5 )(16)(2)


Av =4400mm2
At = (100 – 12.5 – 12.5)(16)
At = 1200 mm2

P = 0.30 Fv Av + 0.50 FuAt


P = 0.30(400)(4400) + 0.50(400)(1200)
P = 768000 N
P = 768 kN

Second possible failure in block shear:


Av = (200 – 25 – 25 – 12.5)(16)
Av = 2200 mm 2
At = (140 – 12.5 – 25)(16)
At = 1640 mm2
P = 0.30 Fu Av + 0.50 Fy At
P = 592000 N
P = 592 kN
