Forces Considered

Total uplift force on Unit = #REF! MT

No. of clips per side on the Foundation = 3

Uplift Force per clip Fup = = #REF! MT

Total horizontal force on Unit = #REF! MT

No. of clips per side = 3

Horizontal Force Fh = = #REF! MT

Clip Geometry
Thickness t = = 16.00 mm
Lw = = 200.00 mm
Lc = = 148.00 mm
Ld = = 200.00 mm
Lf = = 15.00 mm

Analysis for horizontal face of the clip

Shear Area As = Lw.t = 3200.00 mm2

Acting Shear Stress τ1 = Fh/As = #REF! Mpa
Allowable Shear Stress = 98.00 Mpa

Bending Lever for Fup L1 = Lc+Lw/2 = 248.00 mm

Bending due to Fup M1 = Fup.L1 = #REF! Nm
Bending Lever for Fh L2 = Lf+Ld/2 = 115.00 mm
Bending due to Fh M2 = Fh.L2 = #REF! Nm
Section Modulus for hor.face Z1 = Lw .t/6
2
= 106.67 cm3
Acting Bending Stress sb1 = (M1+M2)/Z1 = #REF! Mpa
Allowable Bending Stress = 146.71 Mpa

Tensile stress area At = Lw.t = 3200.00 mm2

Acting Tensile Stress st1 = Fu/As = #REF! Mpa
Allowable Tensile Stress = 146.71 Mpa

Combined Stress sp = √((st1+sb1)2+3τ12) = #REF! Mpa

Allowed Combined Stress = 184.21 Mpa

Since the acting stresses are less than the allowable stresses
proposed structure is OK

Analysis for vertical face of the clip

Shear Area As = Ld.t = 3200.00 mm2

Acting Shear Stress τ2 = Fu/As = #REF! Mpa
Allowable Shear Stress = 98.00 Mpa

Tensile stress area At = Ld.t = 3200.00 mm2

Acting Tensile Stress st1 = Fh/As = #REF! Mpa
Allowable Tensile Stress = 146.71 Mpa

Combined Stress sp = √(st12+3τ12) = #REF! Mpa

Allowed Combined Stress = 184.21 Mpa

Since the acting stresses are less than the allowable stresses
proposed structure is OK

Analysis for weld shear

Conservatively both the Vertical and Horizontal forces are assumed to act
on the horizontal face of the clip.

Fillet weld size considered w = 8.00 mm

Weld length L = 2.Lw = 400.00 mm
Maximum shear stress τ = (1.4Fh+1.2Fu)/(w.L) = #REF! Mpa
Allowable shear stress = 98.00 Mpa

Since the acting stresses are less than the allowable stresses
proposed structure is OK

Punching / Pull out Shear Check on face of Clip

Thickness of plate where clip face is welded Ldt = 15.40 mm

Shear Area Alp = 2.Ld. Ldt = 6160.00 mm
Horizontal Load per clip Fh = #REF! MT
Punch / Pull out Shear Stress τlp = Fh/Alp = #REF! Mpa
Allowable shear stress = 98.00 Mpa
Since the acting stresses are less than the allowable stresses
proposed structure is OK
