Design Aids of Flexural Members and BeamColumns Based on Limit State Method
Prof. Ravindra Bhimarao kulkarni, Vikas Arjun Patil

ABSTRACT : The latest version of the Code of Practice for general construction in steel, IS 800-2007 is based on Limit State Method of design. The
design concept is totally changed in comparison to earlier code IS-800-1984 which is based on elastic method. The design based on limit state method involves many equations and parameters. Therefore the design of steel structural members and connections involves tedious equations. In the present work, the detailed study has been carried out on the design of flexure members and beam-columns for channel section and effort is made to prepare design aids in the form of graphs, which is very useful to the practicing Structural Engineers. The use of charts for the design of flexure members and beam-columns will save the steel designers time considerably. KEYWORDS: IS:800-2007, Factored load.

1. Introduction
The structural/civil Designer has to ensure that the
structures and facilities he designs are (i) fit for their purpose (ii) safe and (iii) economical and durable. Thus safety is one of the paramount responsibilities of the designer. However, it is difficult to assess at the design stage how safe a proposed design will actually be consistent with economy. There is, in fact, a great deal of uncertainty about the many factors, which influence both safety and economy. Firstly, there is a natural variability in the material strengths and secondly it is impossible to predict the loading, which a structure (e.g. a building) may be subjected to on a future occasion. Thus uncertainties affecting the safety of a structure are due to Uncertainty about loading Uncertainty about material strength and Uncertainty about structural dimensions and behaviour. These uncertainties together make it impossible for a designer to guarantee that a structure will be absolutely safe. ______________________________________________

All that the designer could ensure is that the risk of failure is extremely small, despite the uncertainties. Earlier for designing steel structures working stress method is used (IS: 800-1984). Now designing done using limit state method (IS: 800-2007). Design is basically a trial and error process, initially a section is assumed and it is checked, for its capacity to withstand the applied load. In case of design of steel structural elements according to IS: 800-2007, no ready touse design tools are available to aid the initial selection. 2.

OVERVIEW OF DESIGN EQUATIONS AS PER IS: 800-2007


2.1 Effective Span of Beams
The effective span of a beam shall be taken as the distance between the centre of the supports, except where the point of application of the reaction is taken as eccentric at the support, when it shall be permissible to take the effective span as the length between the assumed lines of the reactions.

2.2 Design bending strength of laterally Supported Beams The design bending strength of beams, adequately supported against buckling (laterally supported beams) is governed by yielding stress. The factored design moment, M at any section, in a beam due to external actions shall satisfy M Md

IJSER 2011 http://www.ijser.org

International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 2, Issue 10, Oct-2011 ISSN 2229-5518

Where Md = design bending strength of the section Based on Shear force V values the design bending strength Md of a beam may be computed as follows (refer IS 800:2007 clause 8.2.1):

2.2.1 When shear force V < 0.6 Vd (refer IS 800:2007 clause 8.2.1.2) where Vd is design shear strength of the cross-section.
Md = (b Z p fy ) / m0 1.2 Ze fy / beam supported beams 1.2 Ze
mo

The behaviour of beam-columns is fairly complex, particularly at the ultimate stage and hence exact evaluation of the strength would require fairly complex analysis. However, for design purposes, simplified equations are available, using which it is possible to obtain the strength of members, conservatively.

2.5 Design of Beam-Columns Subjected to Compression and Bending


Local capacity check The following simplified interaction equation is specified in the code for the beam-column subjected to combined axial force and bending moment (clause 9.3.1.1 for plastic, compact and semi-compact section) (N/Nd) + (My/Mdy) + (M/Mdz) 1.0 (6)

for simply supported (1)


m0

f y /

for cantilever

2.2.2 When shear force V > 0.6 Vd (refer IS 800:2007 clause 8.2.1.3)
The design bending strength Md shall be Md = Mdv (2) Mdv = design bending strength under high shear (as per clause 9.2.2) = Md (Md Mfd ) = 1.2 Ze fy / mo for Plastic or Compact section (3)

where Mdy and Mdz are the design reduced flexural strength under combined axial force and the respective uniaxial moment acting alone, My and Mz are the factored applied moments along minor and major axis of the cross section, respectively, Nd is the design strength in compression obtained from Section 6 of the code, and N is the factored applied axial compressive force. Overall buckling check The code stipulates that the member should be checked for lateral-torsional buckling under reduced effective moment Meff due to tension and bending. The reduced effective moment is given by the code as clause 9.3.2.1. Meff =[ M- TZec /A ] Md (7) where M and T are the factored applied moment and tension, respectively, A is the area of cross section, Zec is the elastic section modulus of the section with respect to extreme compression fibre, = 0.8, if T and M vary independently and 1.0 otherwise, and Md is the bending strength due to lateral-torsional buckling.

2.3 Design Bending strength of Laterally Unsupported Beams


If the laterally unrestrained length of the compression flange of the beam is relatively long then a phenomenon known as lateral buckling or lateral torsional buckling of the beam may take place and the beam would fail well before it can attain its full moment capacity. Resistance to lateral torsional buckling need not be checked separately in the following ceases: a) bending is about minor axis of the section b) section is hollow (rectangular/tubular) or solid bars c) in case of major axis bending, LT = LTfy/m0 < 0.4 The design bending strength of laterally unsupported beams as governed by lateral torsional buckling is given by (refer IS800:2007 clause 8.2.2): Md = b Z p fbd (4) fbd=Ltfy/m0 (5) (refer IS 800:2007, table 13a and 13b, page nos. 55 and 56)

2.6 Slenderness Ratio


= KL/r (8)

IS: 800-2007 specifies limiting (maximum) slenderness ratio for Flexural members >300 not permitted and for BeamColumn >250 not permitted.

To get the value for h/t = 19.60 and KL/r = 70.42 it needs double linear interpolation First get the values at X and Y corresponding to h/t = 19.60 To get the value at X (KL/r = 70, h/tf = 19.60) fcrb = 587.4-1.60/2 (587.4 562.9) = 567.704 N/mm2 To get the value at Y (KL/r = 80, h/tf = 19.60) fcrb = 478.4-1.60/2(478.4 455.3) = 459.83 N/mm2 ...The value of fcrb at h/tf = 19.60 and KL/r = 70.42. To get the value at M. fcrb = 567.704 -0.42/10 (567.704 459.83) = 563.145 N/mm2 Referring to Table 13(a) in IS 800-2007, for fy = 250 N/mm2, We find fbd= 188.6 N/mm2 fcrb = 500.

4. Design Charts for Beam-columns:


The Charts have been prepared based on IS: 800-2007 for beam-columns. The procedure adopted is demonstrated with the design example given below. To get the value at M. fcrb = 567.704 -0.42/10 (567.704 459.83) = 563.145 N/mm2 Referring to Table 13(a) in IS 800, for fy = 250 N/mm2, We find fbd= 188.6 N/mm2 fcrb = 500. And fbd = 197.7 N/mm2 for fcrb = 600. ... For fcrb = 563.145 fbd = 188.6 + 63.145/100(197.7 -188.6) = 194.3N/mm2 Hence it belongs to class 2 (compact) categories. .. . Md = b Zp fbd

4.1 DESIGN EXAMPLE


Example1. Beam-Column

An ISJC 100 section is used as a beam column of length 1m, with flexible joints. Determine the maximum factored axial load that the beam-column can carry safely. Solution: For ISJC 100 [11] h = 100 mm, , tf = 5.1 mm, tw = 3 mm, ryy =14.2mm, Effective length = 6 m. Area =741 mm2 KL/r = ( 1*100 0) / 14.2 =70.42 h/t = 100/5.1 = 19.60

b = 1, Zp = 28380 mm3, fbd = 194.3 N/mm2 ...Mdz = 1 x 28380x 194.3 = 5.5155 kN-m

From Table 14 of IS 800: 2007 fcrb values as shown below: h/t 18 19.60 KL/r 70 70.42 80 587.4 .. 478.4 X M Y 455.3 562.9

Member buckling resistance in compression (clause 7.1.2) 20 Minor axis buckling, using curve (c) From Table 9c of the code, for KL/r = 70.42 and fy=250 N/mm2 70 70.42 80 152 136

To get the value for h/t = 19.60 and KL/r = 70.42 it needs double linear interpolation First get the values at X and Y corresponding to h/t = 19.60 To get the value at X (KL/r = 70, h/tf = 19.60) fcrb = 587.4-1.60/2 (587.4 562.9) = 567.704 N/mm2 To get the value at Y (KL/r = 80, h/tf = 19.60) fcrb = 478.4-1.60/2(478.4 455.3) = 459.83 N/mm2 ...The value of fcrb at h/tf = 19.60 and KL/r = 70.42.

fcr = 152 -0.42/10 (152 136) = 151.33 N/mm2 Pdy = Nd = fcr *A Nd = (151.33 *741)/1000 =112.13 kN We have calculated Nd and Md for ISJC 100.Now the Design factored axial load N is calculated by increasing factored moment M in the equation no.(4). The design charts have been prepared Factored moment (kN/m) Vs Factored axial load (kN) for different effective span based on the above example.

6. CONCLUSION
Design charts for the design of steel sections made up of Indian standard channel sections. These design charts are presented based on IS: 800-2007. The graphs have been prepared for the flexural members (Laterally Supported and Unsupported) channel sections, which can be used to select the section directly for different effective span and the factored load (kN/m), the member can with stand. These graphs can be used as designed aids for selecting steel sections. In case of Beam-Columns (channel sections), the design aid graphs are prepared for the factored axial load against factored moment which is a slopping straight line for different effective spans.
