Tnb = Nominal Tension capacity of bolt An = 817 mm2
Tnb= 0.9 x fub x An < Asb x fyb/( mb/ m0) Asb = 1017 mm2

Tdb = 0.9 x 1000x 817 <1017 x 900

Section A-A
dh External energy (E) = ( N x ) = (588.24 x1 ) + (588.24 x1)
= 1176.224 KNm/ m
g Internal energy (D) = (m x l x )
bep = m (110.5+121+110.5) x 1/60 )+(m1 x420x 1/60)
= m x 12.7 KNm
Equating E = D 1176.224 = m x12.7 m = 92.61 KNm /m = 0.09261 KNm/mm

Consider 1 mm strip of end plate i.e. b = 1 mm tred = (1.10 x4 xm /fy)

= (1.10x4 x0.09261x106/320 ) = 35.68 mm

Hence provide 36 mm end plate

11) Check For Prying Force :- (Ref. IS 800-2007 CL.10.4.7, Pg-77)

le = min. { eh OR 1.1 x t x { x fo)/fy } = fopl = 0.7 x fu = 0.7 x 490 = 343 N/mm2

le = min. { 130 mm OR 1.1 x 36 x (2 x 343/330) = 57.09 mm }
le = 57.09 mm

lv = {160 -26.60} - 8 = 58.7 mm (8 mm weld assume for web to end plate)

be = 420 mm for pair of bolt

fobolt = 0.7 x fupl = 0.7 x 1000 = 700 N/mm2

= 2 for non pre-tensioned bolts

Q= 58.7 { 422.15x 103 - (2 x 1.5 x 700 x 420 x 364)}

(2 x 57.09) (27 x 57.09 x 58.72)

Q = 64154.9 N = 64.15 KN

Hence Total tension on bolt including prying force Ftb1= Ftb1 + Q = 403.71 +64.15 = 467.86 KN
< 588.24 KN

Hence Safe

Vdpb = Nominal Bearing capacity of bolt Assume Plate thickness 25 mm & 20 dia. Bolt
= 2.5 . kb . d. t . Fu
= 2.5 . kb . d. t . Fu

Where Kb is smaller of e/(3d0), (p/3d0)-0.25, fub/fu, 1.0 .

eh = 130 mm, ev = 70 mm, p = 156mm, g = 160 mm, d0 = 39 mm, fub = 1000 N/mm2,
fu = 410 N/mm2

e/(3d0) = 70/(3x39) = 0.598

p/(3d0)-0.25 = 1.08 Hence, Kb = 0.598
fub/fu = 1000/490 = 2.04

Vdpb = 2.5 x 0.598 x 36 x 36 x 490 = 759507.84 N = 759.50 KN > 588.24 KN Hence Safe.

14) Check For Bolt subjected to Combined Shear & Tension :- (Ref. IS 800-2007 CL.10.3.6, Pg-76)

(Vsb Vdb)2 + ( Tb/Tdb)² 1

(19.56/377.36)² + (467.86/588.24)² = 0.63 1 Hence Safe.

Flange tension capacity (Tdgf) = Ag Fy / m0 = ( 42.90 x120x 335) /1.10

Flange to end plate weld provide full pentration double bevel groove weld to transmit full force.
for the same weld design check not required. (we have provided for ref)

19.3a) bearing capacity of stiffener = Ag x fy /0.8 m0 = (8250 x240) /(0.8x1.1) =2250 KN > 561.77 KN
Hence safe
(Ref. IS 800-2007 CL.8.7.5.2, Pg-68)

19.3b) Buckling resistance with stiffners (Ref. IS 800-2007 CL.8.7.5.1, Pg-68)

beff = 2 x20 x tw = 2x20x42.10= 1684mm
Aeff = (beff x tw) + 2x (bs xts) = (1684x42.10) + 2 (185x25)
=80146.4 mm2

I = [25x (185x2)3 /12] + [1684x42.103/12]

I = 115998.5 x103 mm4
r= (I/A) =38.04 mm
KL = 0.7 xhw =0.7 x290.2 = 203.14 cm

KL/Ryy = 203.14/38.04 = 5.34 < 10

Refer IS 800 table 9 (c) page 42 for Fy =240 fcd = 218 mpa

buckling resistance with stiffener = Ae x fcd = 80145.4 x218 = 17471.69 KN > 3833.64 KN
Hence safe

19.3c) Weld design for stiffener

Provide full penetration double bevel groove weld to transmit to full load

20) Hunch weld to connecting & end plate

We will provide full penetration weld for hunch flange

to web plate, hunch flange to connecting beam flange
& hunch flange to end plate to transmit full force.

Fch = 3833.64 KN
C = 4607.4 KN
Fvh= 2555.72 KN

C3 = Mp/ (dc-tf) = 2557816.36/ (406.40-42.90) = 7036.63 KN

C2 = C3-Fch = 7036.63-3833.64 = 3202.99 KN

weld length horiz = 2x( 900-54-20) = 1652 mm

10 mm weld capacity = 2211.77 KN < 3202.99 KN
Hence provide double bevel full penetration weld to transmit full load

Weld length vertical = 2( 290 +(600-54 -20))= 1632 mm

10 mm weld capacity = 2184.99 KN < 2555.72 KN
Hence provide double bevel full penetration weld to transmit full load
