Size of top flange 30 mm 400 mm

Size of web 14 mm 1140 mm
Size of Bottom flange 30 mm 400 mm

B.M at splice point

B.M = = 271.4 t.m

S.F at splice point

S.F = = 54.0 t

(A) Design of top flange splice :

Max bending moment 271 MTm

Force in the flange = 271.4 /( 1.2 - 0.03 )= 231.94 MT

M 20 High Strength Friction Grip (HSFG) bolts are used to splice connection .
As per IS: 4000, the max force to be resisted by bolt i.e. bolt value

R = slip factor x No. of effective interfaces x Minimum bolt tension

Factor of Safety

= 0.35 x 2 x 147 = 74KN

1.4
= 7.4 t
NO. OF BOLTS REQUIRED IN FLANGE 231.94 / 7.4 t = 32 nos
No of rows of bolt on each side of splice = 7 nos.
No of bolts per row = 4 nos.
Pitch of bolt = 60 mm
Total no. of bolts = 28 nos.
Reduced flange size _400 - 88 = 312 mm
Net area of flange 312 x 30 = 9360 mm
Flange capacity = 154.44 MT
hence safe

(B) Design of Web Splice :

 M 20 High Strength Friction Grip (HSFG) bolts are used to splice connection .

As per IS: 4000, the max force to be resisted by bolt i.e. bolt value

R = slip factor x No. of effective interfaces x Minimum bolt tension

m = Number of lines of bolts = 2

p = pitch of bolts = 2.5 x 20

e = edge distance = 1.5 x 20

No. of bolts provided per row ### bolts provided

Length of plate required = 50 + 10 x 80 + 50 =
