Design of Steel Elements As Per Is 800

1.
INTRODUCTION
Steel has been known since 3000 BC. The Ashoka Pillar made with steel and the iron
joints used in Puri temples are more than 1500 years old. The iron pillar made in the 5 th
century standing till today in Mehrauli village, Delhi, within a few yards from Kutub Minar
evokes the interest and excitement of all the enlightened visitors. Scientists describe this as a
Rustless Wonder[23]. Another example in south India is the iron post in Kodachadri
village in Karnataka, which is 14 meter tall, Dwaja Stamba has reported to have remained
1
without rusting for nearly 1 2 millennium. The exciting aspects of these structure is not
Figure1.1 Rabindra Sethu Kolkata
merely the obvious fact of technological advances in

India at that time, but in the developments of techniques
for handling, lifting, erecting and securing such
obviously heavy artifacts. India under the British rule
experienced growth of iron and steel possibly because
of the fallout of technological development of steel in
U.K. We can see several steel structures in public
buildings, railway stations and bridges, which testifies
the growth of steel in the colonial past. The Rabindra
Sethu Howrah Bridge in Kolkata stands testimony to a
marvel in steel. The recent example is the second
Hooghly cable stayed bridge at Kolkata called
Vidyasagar Sethu. Even today the old city area of
Kolkata consists of steel structural building built during
the British rule. It is not only that the development of
steel as structural element is restricted to government
sector but has also been in the private sector. Renowned
structural engineer A.B.Karnik has

used steel structure for the erection of
piles supporting a jetty at Dahej in
Gujarat.
Figure 1.2 Vidyasagar Sethu Kolkata
Above statement proves that steel as a structural material was been adopted since the
early beginning of its development than how come its use as a structural material is limited in
JOURNAL OF INDIAN SOCIETY OF STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS
India. Following are the reasons
VOLUME 8-4, OCT-NOV-DEC 2006
a) As compared to countries where Figure1.3 Gantry girder for the erection of piles supporting a
steel is used widely as structural
jetty at Dahej designed by Er.A.B.Karnik [11]
element for buildings, the cost (of
steel) in India is more.
b) The old concept of design i.e: working stress method has always proved uneconomical
than conventional concrete design.

Developing a Computational Tool
c) The design, specially connection is complicated specifically in terms of selection of type of

connection to be adopted, force transfer, check and maintenance of welds.
d) Handling and erection of steel structures needs skill along with technology (technology in
terms of machinery).
Besides the above disadvantages steel has some inherent advantages too. Steel offers
much better compressive and tensile strength, ductile in nature, high quality assurance, long
life cycle, light weight construction, recyclable and the most important rapid construction. In
metro city like Mumbai structural steel is used as the structural system from the beginning of
the decade. It may be possible that the designers may have adopted the foreign design codes
as the IS 800 has been just revised in 2007. Hence it can be said the use of structural steel as
a structural element in buildings (residential / commercial) is not been arrested totally.
1.1 The revised IS800:2007:
The entire design concept of steel structure has been changed to plastic theory of
design making the structure more durable by introducing the aspects like corrosion, fatigue,
design and detailing for earthquake load, durability, etc. The concept of plastic theory of
design is explained later but before that let us have a look on the major difference in IS8001984 and IS800:2007

Fatigue
Structures like bridges, gantry girders, cranes, slender tower-like
(open) structures (subject to wind oscillations), offshore platforms
(subject to wave load), and structures supporting large rotating
equipment are prone to fatigue, under this section the design
provision are given for such structures to resist fatigue.

The most important factor affecting the durability of steel is
corrosion. This section provides some surface protection guide for

Comments
The design philosophy has changed for WSM to LSM, which has
resulted in a change in the basic design requirement for eg. Section
classification to assure that no buckling occurs before the section has
reached the plastic stage.
of This section describes various analysis methods that could be
adopted for the steel structural analysis.

Fire resistance
Steel is adversely affected with high temperature gradient which

generally occurs under the situation of fire. Under this section some
guidelines are mention for casing the structural element in concrete
to create an insulating effect.
1.2 Need of Computational tool:

It is not always possible to have an exact mathematical formulation or modeling for
all design problems. There is a considerable scope for exercising engineering judgment.
Hence there is no correct solution to a design problem as there could be several so-called
correct solutions to the same problem. This is because
a) The designs are invariably subject to individual interpretation of standards and codes.
b) The solutions are also subject to differing ideas about what is or what in Not required
from an engineering and environmental stand point, and
c) the individual designers have ingrained ideas from their past experience, which may be
valid to-day only to a limited extent, or may not be valid at all. Hence in short it could be
said that the designer changes the design changes.[23]
Under this circumstances, relying on a particular software which would give such a
solution that will be adopted universally is not possible. At the same time neither computer
nor the computer program knows about the practical consideration for eg. Talking about
Surat, having humid atmosphere and located at the sea cost the, the rebar of concrete building
are more prone to corrosion than the building situated in Rajkot or say Bhavnagar. Hence in
such a case if a building with similar data in all manner is to be constructed in Bhavnagar and
surat the designer will prefer steel in slab at a closer spacing in the latter one then in the
former. In practice most of the structural consultant adopts only analysis results from the
software and design the structure base on these result, with their experience or using an in
house program/software. Also the design procedure as per revised IS800-2007 is much
complicated and tedious hence if one could develop such a tool, which on providing the basic
design input will give you the design out put will save lots of time of the designer.

2. LIMIT STATE DESIGN AND PLASTIC THEORY

To safeguard against the risk of failure, safety margins are normally provided in
design. The variables such as loads, material strength, and member dimensions are subject to
varying degrees of uncertainty and randomness. Hence the structure must be designed to
provide for the possibility of overload. Similarly the deviations in the dimensions of
members or strength of material can result in a member having less than the computed
strength. Thus, the design should take into account the possibility of under strength also.
Further, there are idealization and simplifying assumptions used in the theories of structural
analysis and design. There are also several unforeseen factors that influence the prediction of
strength and serviceability like construction methods, workmanship and quality control,
intended service life of the structure, human errors, possible future change of use, etc.
2.1 Limit states:
Limit state is a state of impeding failure, beyond which a structure ceases to perform
its intended function satisfactorily [22]. The limit states usually considered for structural
steel work are listed in the table.2.1. They are normally grouped into the following two
types.
Table 2.1: Limit States [22]
Limit State of Strength
Strength (yield, buckling)
Stability against overturning and sway
Fracture due to fatigue
Plastic collapse
Brittle Fracture
Serviceability Limit State

Deflection
Vibration
Fatigue checks (including reparable
damage due to fatigue)
Corrosion
Fire
Ultimate limit states are conditions to be avoided and serviceability limit state are
condition that are undesirable. Hence it is clear that any realistic, rational and quantitative
representation of safety must be based on statistical and probilistic analysis, which caters for
both overload and under strength. Design for the ultimate limit state may be conveniently
explained by figure2.1. This figure shows the hypothetical frequency distribution curves for
the effect of loads on the structural element and the resistance of the structural element.
When the two curves overlap shown by the shaded area, the effect of the loads is greater than
the resistance of the element and the element fails.

Frequency

Load Effect Q or Resistance of element R
There exist a number of levels of reliability analysis. However for the code the
method is simplified by using deterministic data rather than parabolic data, called as level I
reliability method.
Figure 2.1 Frequency Distribution Curve [22]

2.2 Limit State Method:
It is a comprehensive and rational solution to the design problem, by considering
safety at ultimate loads and serviceability at working load. Based on above discussion IS8002007 determines the partial safety factor for load and material as follows

This value is to be considered when the dead load contributes to stability against overturning is critical or
the dead load causes reduction in stress due to other loads.
When action of different live loads is simultaneously considered, the leading live load is whichever one
causes the higher load effects in the member/section.

2.3 Plastic theory:

Consider the stress distribution for a typical beam subjected to load as shown in figure
2.2. Point (a) and (b) shows the stress distribution where the stress is within the elastic limit
for point (a) and for point (b) the extreme fiber has just reached the elastic limit represented
by f=fy. On further increase of load the plastic distribution of stress starts as indicated at
point (c), a stage comes when the section completely attains the plastic stage. The point (e)
shows the distribution of stress due to strain hardening. However this strength of the section
due to strain hardening is not considered for the designed purpose thereby increasing a factor
of safety.

Figure 2.3 shows the stress-strain

relationship for the typical test specimen of mild steel. The figure represent the point of
significance of the test where up till y the specimen remains in the elastic range where the
stress-strain relationship is linear. Then the upper yield stress is reached, after which there is
a significant increase in strain with constant value of stress. This is because the steel flows
plastically or plastic deformation starts.
Figure 2.3 Stress-Strain Relationship
The increase in the strain with constant
for Mild Steel [22]
stress continues until steel reaches strain
hardening stage, where there is a
increase in the stress with strain. This continues until the ultimate stress is reached after
which due to a large local reduction in the cross section (neck formation) occur and the load
capacity decreases until tensile failure takes place.
3. DESIGN OF CONNECTION AS PER IS800:2007

Determining the exact design procedure for connection is not possible as there is a
wide classification of connection based on the material used for connection, its behavior to
the applied action (loads). Hence in these section only the required check to be taken or how
one can calculate the capacity of connection under shear, tension, bearing, block shear, etc is
shown.

beams
Or else following steps shall be followed
Calculate effective length KL from table 15 page 58 IS800-2007
Based on this value determine slenderness ratio KL/r

can be determined using table 13(a)/(b) page 55/56 IS800:2007
Other steps are similar to that of laterally restrained beam

5. DESIGN OF MEMBER SUBJECTED TO AXIAL AND

BENDING FORCES AS PER IS800:2007
Column in a multistory, multibay structure are generally referred as Beam-Column.
Beam column are aptly named, as they behave essentially like restrained beams, forming
plastic hinges, and under other conditions fail by buckling in a similar way to axially loaded
columns or by lateral torsional buckling similar to unrestrained beams. Columns of
multistory, multibay structure are subjected to axial forces along with biaxial moments, hence
these columns are to be designed as member subjected to combined axial and bending forces.
5.1 Design of Beam-Column:
Table No 5.1Detail Procedure for Design of Beam-Column [8]
Step1: Trial section
Selection of the trial section is a trial and error method.
However after gaining experience or by referring some design aids one
can judge the required section.
Step2: Check for axial load capacity
The selected section shall be check for axial load capacity.
Calculate effective length based on support condition from table no 11
page no 45 IS800-2007.
Calculate the slenderness ratio KL/r, where r = I / A .
Using the h/bf ratio and tf classify the buckling class of cross-section
using table 10 page no 44 IS800:2007 where h = depth of I-section

Now determine the design compressive stress fcd form table no 9 a/b/c/d
page no 40/41/42/43.
Thus the design compressive strength Pd = Aefcd
Where Ae = effective sectional area as defined in 7.3.2
Pd > P, where P is the factored axial load
Step3: Classification of section
Once the section is selected it is to be classified asper table 2 page 18

There is no doubt in the fact that when one is dealing with the design of a multistoried
steel frame structure, he/she will have to go for gusseted base plates as the column base are
subjected to high bending moments. However in this section we will discus the design
procedure for the simple column base only and the gusseted plate will be considered in the
future scope of the study.
