CE 6121: Advanced Structural Steel Design

Course Teacher: Prof. Dr. K.M. Amanat


Term: October 2023

Assignment-1
Answers to all questions/problems must be accompanied by relevant
drawings/illustrations/figures/sketches etc. for easier understanding.

For solving the problems, use design formulas and avoid using charts from manual.
1. For the box section (Fy=36 ksi, Young’s modulus = 29000 ksi) having residual
stress distribution as shown in the following figure subjected to axial
compression,
(a) Derive algebraic expressions of average stress vs average strain as well as
expressions for average tangent modulus in terms of average strain.
(b) Derive algebraic expressions of moment of inertia about both strong and
weak axes in terms of average strain.
(c) Draw column curve for the section (Fcr vs L/r) taking into account the
presence of residual stress considering the variation of tangent modulus as
well as the variation of moment of inertia (Ix and Iy). For comparison also
draw the Euler's column curve.

2. Design a laced column having overall square section consisting of four angles
to carry 160kips dead load and 450 kips live load axial compression. The
actual height of the column is 30ft. The base of the column may be considered
fixed while the top of the column shall be connected to rafters which can offer
partial fixity. Assume all connections will be welded and use A572 Grade 50
steel. Assume a reasonable value of effective length factor, K, and design the
column chord members, lacing and also check the shear effect.
3. Redesign the laced column of Prob.2 above except that the overall dimension
of the column shall be limited to 15” x 18” inch.
