Check for Stiffener Plate : ( FOR GRID-D,E,F,G,H,J,K & L)

Check for Stiffener plate requirement Sreq = Stiffener required If IRmax > 1.00

Stiffener Not Required If IRmax < 1.00

The stiffener check is not required as per the design requirement. However, we are providing stiffener based on consultant comments in multi-planar joints.

Thickness of stiffener Plate Tsp = 20 mm

Depth of Stiffener plate Dsp = d0-2*t0
Dsp = 458 mm
Width of stiffener plate wsp = 458 mm

Max applied axial force on chord Fxmax = max (Fx1, Fx2, Neq.Ed) Fxmax = 1643.00

Net axial force transferred thru stiffener plates Fxnet = Fxmax -FxaRD Fxnet = -1398.51

2.Moment In plane

Min in plane moment design resistance of chord MipRD = min ( Mnsin1ip, Mip, Rd, Mn Sin2ip) = 386.62

Max applied xial force on chord My max = max ( My1,My2, Mip.eq.Ed ) = 35.00 kNm

3.Moment out Plane

Min out plane moment design resistance of chord MopRD = Mop1cfRd MopRD = 269.86 kNm

Max applied corresponding axial force on chord' Mzmax = Mz1 Mzmax = 39.00 kNm

Check for Stiffener

a. Check for tension capacity of stiffener plate for axial & couple force due to moments

Net Moment transferred through stiffener plate Mznet = Mzmax - MopRD Mznet = -230.86 kNm
Lever arm distance for couple force Lad = Dsp-t0 Lad = 433.0 mm
Couple force due to moment Fcf = Mznet = -230.86 =
