SECTION OF KING POST
Grade = S355
Strut Size:
Ultimate strut axial load; 2.5 % of this ultimate load will be applied on the post as axial
forces. Total maximum ultimate strut force above.
= 2928 kN
= Pδ δ = span / 300
= 2928 x 0.02 = 5300 / 300
= 58.561 kNm = 17.67 mm < 20 mm
Shear force (Minor axis) = 0 kN (No vehicle load acting on the kingpost, therefore no braking force)
Geometry
L= 5300 mm
LLT = 5300 mm; KLT = 1.00 ; LE_LT = LLT x KLT = 5300 mm
Lx = 5300 mm; Kx = 1.00 ; Lex = Lx x Kx = 5300 mm
Ly = 5300 mm; Ky = 1.00 ; Ley = Ly x Ky = 5300 mm cl.4.3.5&4.7.3
Loading
Internal forces & moments on member under factored loading for uls design:
Ft = 0 kN; Fc = 2928 kN; n = Fc/ (A x py) = 0.2351
Fvy = 0 kN; Fvy = 0 kN;
