Shear check in brace

Shear force, Fvp = N = Fx + My/(Dp - tp)
= 492.3 kN

Allowable shear, FvPall = γ x 0.4fyP x 4 x Lg x tp Ɣ= 1

= 2870.4 kN (for operating)

Unity Check, UC = Fv/Fvall

= 0.17 < = 1, OK

Check 1 at gusset plate

Shear, Fvgp = Ns = N (2Lgeff) / 2Lgeff + Dp
= 338.36 kN

Axial, Fagp = Na = NxDp / 2Lgeff + Dp

= 153.95 kN

Allowable shear force, Fvgpall = γ x 0.62 x fyg x 2Lgeff x tGP

= 1117.80 kN

Allowable axial force, Fagpall = γ x fyg x Dp x tGP / 1.67

= 845.97 kN

Unity Check, Ucv = Fvgp/Fvgpall

= 0.30 < = 1, OK

Unity Check, Uca = Fagp/Fagpall

= 0.18 < = 1, OK

= 1.95E+07 mm

Ib = tGP x (b/2)2 / 12
4
= 1.95E+07 mm

Ka = 4EIa / (b/2)
= 6.25E+10 N.mm

Kb = 4EIb / (a/2)

ρ = Mc / (Ka + Kb)
= 4.00E-04

FAX = (6xExIbxρ/(a/2)2) + FxCosα

= 362.13 kN

FAY = (3xIaxM) / b2 x (Ia/b + Ib/a))

= 150.00 kN

MA = 4EIa x M / (b x 8 x E x (Ia/b + Ib/a))

= 12.50 kN.m

FBX = (3xIbxM) / a2 x (Ia/b + Ib/a))

= 150.00 kN

FBY = (3xIaxM) / b2 x (Ia/b + Ib/a)) + FxSinα

= 362.13 kN

MB = IB x M / (a x 2 x (Ia/b + Ib/a))
= 12.50 kN.m
Actual Stresses

σaA = FAX/(a x tGP/2) + 6Ma/(a2 x tGP/4)

= 176.57 Mpa

σaB = FAY/(b x tGP/2) + 6MB/(b2 x tGP/4)

= 176.57 Mpa

δA = 1.5 x FAY/(a*tGP/2)
= 60.00 Mpa

δB = 1.5 x FBX/(b*tGP/2)
= 60.00 Mpa

Allowable stresses
σaall = γ x fyGP / 1.67
= 206.59 Mpa

δall = γ x 0.6 x fyGP / 1.67

= 123.95 Mpa

Unity Check

UCaA = σaA/σaall
= 0.85 < = 1, OK

UCaB = σaB/σaall
= 0.85 < = 1, OK

UCvA = δA/δall

= 0.48 < = 1, OK

UCvB = δB/δall

= 0.48 < = 1, OK
