PROBLEM: 1
A non – sway intermediate column in a building frame with flexible joints is
4.0 m high and it is ISHB 300 @ 588 N/m steel section. Check the adequacy
of the section when the column is subjected to following load:

Factored axial load = 500 kN

Factored moments:
Mz My

Bottom + 7.0 kN –m - 1.0 kN - m

Top + 15.0 kN – m + 0.75 kN - m

[ fy = 250 N/mm2 ; E = 2* 105 N/mm2]

Assume effective length of the column as 3.4 m along both the axes.

CROSS-SECTION PROPERTIES:

Flange thickness = T = 10.6 mm

Clear depth between flanges = d = 300 – (10.6 * 2)

= 278.8 mm

Thickness of web = t = 7.6 mm

Flange width = 2b = 250 mm

b = 125 mm

Area of cross-section = Ag = 7485 mm2

C/c distance between flanges = hf = 289.4 mm

Rz = 129.5 mm

ry = 54.1 mm

Iz = 12545.2*104 mm4

Iy = 2193.6*104 mm4

Zz = 836.3*103 mm3

Zy = 175.5*103 mm3

Zpz = 953.4*103 mm3

Zpy = 200.1*103 mm3

(ii) Check for resistance of cross-section to the combined effects

for yielding:

fyd = fy /γa = 250/1.15

= 217.4 N/mm2

Ag = 7485 mm2

Zz = 836.3*103 mm3

Zy = 175.5*103 mm3

P = 500 kN

Mz = 15 kN-m

My = 1.0 kN-m

The interaction equation is:

Pc Mz My

Calculation of χ :

Imperfection factors: αz = 0.21 ; αy = 0.34

φ - values:
φ = 0.5[1 + α (λ − 0.2 )+ λ 2 ]

φz = 0.5[1 + 0.21(0.296 – 0.2) + (0.296)2] = 0.554

φy = 0.5[1 + 0.34(0.706 – 0.2) + (0.706)2] = 0.835

Therefore,

Pdz =7485 x0.978 x250 / 1.10 x 10 -3 =1663.7 kN

Pdy =7485 x0. 78 x250 / 1.10 x 10 -3 =1327.0 kN

Therefore Pd = Pdy = 1327.0 kN
