DESIGN OF RAFTER BY LSD

Rafter is made of plate girder. Section profile straight.

Span of rafter (l)= 20.422 m

20422 mm

Fy = 245 Mpa
ýmo = 1.1
= 1.01
ε
Depth of rafter (D) = l/12
= 1702

Depth of rafter taken as = 700 ~ 700 NOT OK

Loading: Beam-9, Shelter-B,L/C: 214

Ultimate Moment (M1u) at A = 37 T-m

6 Ultimate Moment (M2u) at B = 0 T-m (Minimum)

Ultimate shear (V1u) at A = 4.4 T

10

Ultimate shear (V2u) at B = 0.177 T (Minimum)

Assume flange resist B.M and web resist shear.

Note:- For the classification of the section as stated above, maximum depth will be considered for
safety. Again, for calculaton of sectional capacities (shear and bending), maximum
forces will be checked agains avarage depth of the section.

Area of flange required = Af = M/d(fy/ýmo) 2328.0875 mm2

Minimum width of flange = 0.5D = 350 mm

Width of flange provided = B= 400 mm OK

Thickness of flange required = tf = 6 mm (Minimum)

Thickness of flange provided = tf = 10 mm OK

Take web thickness = tw = 6 mm

Classification of section

b= (B-tw)/2 = 197 mm

Check:1 b/tf = 19.7 = 19.5 ε

The section is Compact

Check:2 d = 680 mm
d/tw = 113.33333 = 112.2 ε
stiffener not required

d/tw
Check:3 = 112.2 ε > 67 ε
Check for shear buckling required

Check:4 C = 20422 mm > 1.5d

Minimum tw to avoid flange buckling = d/(345 ε ) = 2 mm OK

Calculation of shear buckling coefficient and shear capacity

Avarage depth = 700 d = 680

C/d = 30.03 > 1 (Avarage depth of section taken)

d/tw = 113.33333333 (Maximum depth of section taken)

V2u = 4.4 T

Hemce, Kv = 5.35+4/(C/d)2 = 5.35

Elastic critical shear stress of web (ζcr,e) = Kv π2 E/12(1-μ2)(d/tw)2

Where, E= 200000
μ= 0.09

ζcr,e = 69.07 Mpa

Non-dimensional web slenderness ratio, λw = fy/(1.732 ζcr,e)1/2

= 1.43 > 1.2

ζb = 130.18 Mpa

Vcr = 54.14 T

Hence design shear strength of section = Vd = Vcr/ýmo = 49.22 T

>
4.4 T SAFE
Calculation of Sectional moment capacity

ßb = 1 for compact section

Iyy = = 1123766667 mm4

Ze = = 3257294.686 mm3

Mu1 = 37 T-m

For compact section, Moment capacity = ßb Zp fy/ýmo = 725488362 Nmm

= 73.95 T-m
>
37 T-m SAFE
Calculation for combined axial loading and bending

Combined stress ratio = 0.59 SAFE

Connection of flange plate to web

Maximum S.F = 4.4 T

UDL on top flange = 0.43 T/m 4.22 Mpa

Horizontal shear between flange plate and web = ζH = SAY'/bl

S= Shear force = 4.4 T 43164 N

A= Area of flange plate = 4000 mm
Y' = Centroidal distance to area A from NA = 345 mm
b= tw = 6 mm
I= 1123766667 mm4

Hence, ζH = 8.83 Mpa

ζv = 4.22 Mpa

ζR = sqrt(ζH2 +ζv2) = 9.7865878 Mpa

Design shear strength of weld = ζvp = 108 Mpa

Let size of weld be = s, then s= 0.06 mm

Provide 4 mm weld on both side of web

Hence, The design is Safe
