Splice ConnectionUC 254X254X73

This document provides the design of a column splice connection between two UC 254x254x73 columns. Key details include: - The splice is a full strength moment connection - Design is based on a reduction factor of 0.8 of the member's section capacity - Bolted connection uses 10 diameter 25mm A325 bolts in double shear - Bolt group capacity is checked to be sufficient in tension and shear - Top and bottom cap plate sizing and thickness are designed to resist the maximum bending moment of 17.55 kN-m

for minor Axis bending - 62 kN-m
Shear capacity of member - 904 Kn

50 47 256.3 47 50
Column Cap Plate Sizing :
Section width = 256.3 mm 50
Section Depth = 260.3 mm
Area of Section = 11300 mm2 125
diameter of the bolt considered = 25 mm
Total no. of bolts = 10 nos
edge distance of the bolt considered = 50 mm (min 1.5 times of dia of bolt) 100
distance b/w bolt centre to face of the column = 47 mm
distance b/w bolt centre to face of the column = 45 mm
Base plate width b = 450.3 mm
Base plate depth D = 450.3 mm 125

lever arm between two sides of bolts = 354.3 mm 50


number of bolts on each side = 5 Nos
200 200
due to bending moment bolts are subjected to tension on one side and compression on the other side
Tension force on one side of the bolt group T = 373.32 kN (M/lever arm)
Tensile force on each bolt = 74.7 kN (T/number of bolts)
Shear force on each bolt = 90.4 kN
Type of bolt considered = A325
yield strength of the bolt = 620 N/mm^2
factor for allowable tensile & Shear stress = 0.75
allowable stress for direct tension = 465 N/mm^2
allowable stress for shear = 465 N/mm^2
reduction factor for net to gross area = 0.85
Tension capacity of the bolt = 193.92 kN safe
Shear capacity of the bolt = 193.92 kN safe
Interaction check for bolt tension and shear = 0.851 < 1 safe

Design of the column cap plate:


Thickness of the top plate considered = 25 mm
Thickness of the bottom plate considered = 25 mm
Total thickness considered for the bending = 50 mm `
allowable stress for bending f= 166.7 N/mm^2

Maximum BM M = 17.55 kN-m


Thickness of the plate required t=sqrt(6*M/f*b) = 37.45 mm ok
