Allowable shear stress Fv = 145 MPa

U/R = 0.33 Safe

2. CHECK FOR H - SECTION

a) Bearing check on Bolt Hole:

Bearing stress per bolt Fb,actual = Fmax / (d x t1 x n)
107 MPa
- Distance from the
Le = 50 mm free edge to center
of the bolt
Allowable bearing stress per bolt Fp1 = 1.2*Fu Eq-J3.1

An = 2000 mm2
Shear lag factor U = 0.750 par.B3
min (U An, 0.85 Ag1) Ae = 1500.0 mm2
Fr,actual = Fmax / Ae = 80 Mpa

Le = 50 mm free edge to center
of the bolt
Allowable bearing stress per bolt Fp3 = 1.2*Fu Eq-J3.1

Fp4 = Le*Fu/2d Eq-J3.3
= 500 Mpa

min(Fp3,Fp4) = 480 Mpa

U/R = 0.13 Safe

b) Tensile yielding check :

Whitmore width - eccentricity is not considered
Lw1 = B - 2C + 2(P x (nb-1)x tanθ)
277.8 mm
Lw2 = B - C + (P x (nb-1)x tanθ) + e1 + (P x (nb-1)x tanβ)
282.2 mm
Lw3 = (G/cosθ) + B - C + (P x (nb-1)x tanθ)
237.0 mm
Lw4 = (G/cosθ) + B + e1 + (P x (nb-1)x tanβ)
241.3 mm

Whitmore width, Lw = min(Lw1,Lw2,Lw3,Lw4)

= 237.0 mm

Whitmore gross area Agw = 2844 mm2

Ft,actual = Fmax / Agw = 42 Mpa

Ft,allowable = 0.6*Fy Eq-F3.3

= 147 Mpa

U/R = 0.29 Safe

Rupture:
An = 2268.00 mm2
min (An; 0.85 Ag) Ae = min(An , 0.85 Ag) = 2268.0 mm2
Fr,actual = Fmax / Ae
53 Mpa
Fr,allowable = 0.5*Fu Eq-J4.2
200 Mpa

U/R = 0.27 Safe

c) Block shear rupture:

Ant = 432 mm2

 Anv = 1752 mm2
Fbv,actual = Fmax / (0.3xAnv + 0.5xAnt) = 162 Mpa Eq-J4.1 & J4.2

Fbv,allowable = Fu = 400 Mpa Eq-J4.1 & J4.2

U/R = 0.40 Safe

d) Compression check

, if klb/r ≤ Cc Eq. E2-1

, if klb/r > Cc Eq. E2-2

where

if klb/r ≤ Cc Fa = 124 Mpa

if klb/r > Cc Fa = 381 Mpa

Unsupported length lb = 150 mm

k1 = 1.2
Whitmore width - eccentricity is not
considered Lw = 237 mm
tp = 12 mm
radius of gyration = tp/radq(12) r = 3.46 mm
K1lb/r = 52.0
Cc = 126.9
Comparing Cc and K1lb/r, K1lb/r < Cc
Hence Eq. E2-1 is applicable
Fa = 124 Mpa
Agw = Lw x tp = 2844 mm2

Fa, actual = Fmax/Agw = 42 Mpa

U/R = 0.34 Safe
