1. Introduction:

These notes are made to check the proposed sign board steel members & existing concrete blocks by using
the staad model and foundation blocks are checked by Prokan,

By using H section 2 x 150x150x10 ( flange to flange )

Galvanized angle 50x50x5

Ply wood of 18mm thk as the Sign board.

Concrete precast blocks for foundation above ground 1400mmx1400mx1000mm

To Minimize the deflections in the signage we used 2 H Sections Back to back

( modelled in the staad as I beam of 300x 150x 7web thickness x 10 flange thickness instead of above )

For footings we used the concrete blocks of 2nos of 1400x1400x1000mm side by side

As the statically system with connecting beam of 2nos H beams 150x150x10 ( side by side ) the
horizontal reactions are converted in to positive & negative vertical forces with small moments
2. Analysis & Design Parameters:
2.1. Loads & combinations:
2.1.1. Dead Load

Self weight of steel elements are considered by Self weight commend of program

Self weight of ply wood considered by self weight command by assuming the plywood as

0.018*10kn/m3 = 0.18Kn/m2

( for simplicity of calculations we assumed in the staad 5mm thk of concrete )

2.1.2. Wind Load

Assumed to be 1.5 kn/m2 in the conservative for free standing for sign boards.

2.1.3. Combinations
1.0 Dead + 1.0 Live for Steel elements

As we are design the steel elements based on AISC ASD

1.0 Dead + 1.0 live for footing stability check

with Safety factors for overturning is 1.5

safety factor for Sliding is 1.5

3.3. Staad Deflecion check

As we are using the 300x150x10x7 I –section instead of 2nos of 150x150x10

The above calculations not considering the 2 x 150x10mm flanges in the calculations.

4.3. Manual over turning calculations:

Check for overturning with 02 footings

Assuming wind load 1.5 kn/m2

Over Turning Moment:

From Wind = 1.5 Kn/m2 * 7.32 * ( 7.32 /2 + 2 ) = 62.14 Knm

Resisting Moment:

02 concrete blocks connected together with 02 Nos of I beam attached side by side

= (1.4*1.4*1 * 1.4/2 *24) + (1.4*1.4*1*(1.4+0.7) * 24 ) = 131.7 Knm

The factor of safety = 131.7 / 62.14 = 2.11

Check for overturning with 01 footings by Staad reactions

-37.1 Kn + 8KNm

Over Turning Moment:

From Reaction = 37.1*0.7 + 8*1 = 33.97 Knm

Resisting Moment:

Considering 01 concrete blocks

= (1.4*1.4*1 * 1.4/2 *24) = 32.928 Knm

The factor of safety = 131.7 / 62.14 = 2.11
