Check moment capacity of 10mm thk. GMS Angle :

Factored tension force (Ft) = 0 kN

Factored shear force due to W.L. (Fw) = 0.000 kN
Factored shear force due to D.L. (Fd) = 9.600 kN (6 x 1.6)
Factored moment due to W.L. = Fw x Lever arm = 0.000 kNm
Factored moment due to D.L. = Fd x Lever arm = 4.800 kNm (9.6x0.05)

Area of 10mm Thk. GMS Angle taking the bending moment:

width = b = 120 mm Area (A) = bt = 1200 mm2

depth = d = 121 mm Zy-y = tb2/6 = 24000 mm3
2
thickness = t = 10 mm Zz-z = bt /6 = 2000 mm3

Shear capacity

pt = Fv/A = 9600/ 1200 = 8 N/mm2 < 275/3 N/mm2 O.K.

Bending moment capacity

For y-y axis,

pby = My/Zy= 0 / 24000 = 0 N/mm2 < 275 N/mm2 O.K.

For z-z axis,

pbz = Mz/Zz = 480000/ 2000 = 240 N/mm2 < 275 N/mm2 O.K.

Combines stress of 10mm Thk. GMS Angle fixing plate:

( + + )=( + + ) = 0.923 < 1.4 O.K.

Check weld connection between 10mm Thk. GMS Angle and the U-channel :

Use 5 mm fillet weld (all round)

Z
Weld length = (120 + 10) x 2 = 260 mm
Inertia z-z = 2 x10x53/12 +(2 x 10 x 602) = 72208 mm3

Inertia y-y = 2 x 120 /12 +(2 x 120 x 5 ) = 294000 mm3

Stress due to Direct tension Ft = 9600 / (260x5) = 7.27 N/mm (direction y-y)
Stress due to Direct shear Fs = 0 / (260x5) = 0 N/mm2 (direction z-z)
Stress due to Direct shear Fv = 0 / (260x5) = 0 N/mm2 (direction x-x)
