SHEAR CONNECTION:

Shear Connection for UBT 146X127X18 Brace Vertical

Bracing Member = UBT 146X127X18

Tension capacity of a menber Pt = Py x A e (As per BS 5950-1-2000 CL 4.6.1)

Where,
Py = Design strength of the member
Ae = Effective net area of the member

2
Design strength of the member Py = 275 N/mm (As per DBM 30-99-75-0067 CL 5.3)

Effective net area of the member Ae = Ke x an (As per BS 5950-1-2000 CL 3.4.3)

where,
Ke = effective net area coeffecient (As per BS 5950-1-2000 CL 3.4.3)
= 1.2 For 275 grade
an = net area of the element
Net area of the element an = an1 + an2 (As per design guide SCI to BS 5950-
an1 = a1 - area of the bolt holes 1-2000 Vol 1 CL. 7.1)
a1 = Thickness x flange width of the cut T section
t = 11 mm
Bf = 146.1 mm
2
Therefore a1 = 1607.1 mm
area of the bolt holes = t(b-2D) (As per BS 5950-1-2000 CL 3.4.4.3)
(As per DBM 30-99-75-0067, Cl 9.7.2, minimum of two bolts shall be used for all
connections and hence area of bolt hole considered is 2)
D = 22 mm (Where D= dia of the holes)
2
area of the bolt holes = 1123.1 mm
an1 = a1 - area of the bolt holes
2
= 484 mm
an2 = a2
a2 = Ag-a1 (As per BS 5950-1-2000 CL 4.6.3.1)
where,
Ag = gross cross-sectional area of the member
2
= 2333 mm
2
a2 = 725.9 mm
2
Therefore an2 = 725.9 mm
an = an1 + an2
2
an = 1209.9 mm
Ae = Ke x an
2
= 1451.88 mm
Tension capacity of a menber Pt = Py x A e
= 399.26 Kn

Compression resistance of a menber Pc = Aeff x Pcs (As per BS 5950-1-2000 CL 4.7.4)

where,
Aeff = effective gross cross-sectional area
Pcs = Value of Pc for a reduced slenderness of λ(Aeff/Ag)0.5
Aeff = Ag - t(d-20tƐ) t = 6 mm (As per BS 5950-1-2000 CL 3.6)
d = 106 mm
Ɛ = (275/py)^0.5
= 1.0
2
Aeff = 2417 mm
λ = 1.0Lx/rx Lx = 4621 mm (As per BS 5950-1-2000 CL 4.7.10.5)
= 77.795 rx = 59.4 mm
(Aeff/Ag)0.5 = 1.018
λ(Aeff/Ag)0.5 = 79.183
2
For λ = 79.18 and Py = 275 N/mm Table 24, BS 5950-1-2000
2
Value of Pc = 161 N/mm
Therefore, Pc = Aeff x Pcs
= 389.14 Kn
Axial Tension = 399.26 kN
Axial Compression = 389.14 kN

NOTES :
All bolts are M20, Grade 8.8
All main steel and fitting are grade S275

( For 42 class electrode & S275 steel grade, Refer clause 6.8.5 &Table 37, BS5950-1:2000 )
CHECK FOR BOLT :
Bolt dia. (d) = 20 mm Thickness of plate tp = 12 mm
Dia. of hole (dh)= 22 mm Width of plate wp= 270 mm
No. of bolt rows (nr) = 4 Gage g = g1 = 80 mm
No. of columns of bolt (nc) = 2
Total number of bolts (n) = 8

Reduced shear capacity of bolt (Fvb) = As*Ps

57.7 kN
Allowable tension capacity of bolt (Ftb)= 0.8*As*Ps
141 kN

CHECK FOR SHEAR :

Vertical shear per bolt (Case i) fvb1 = Fv1 / n fvb1 = 48.6 kN
(Case ii) fvb2 = Fv2 / n fvb2 = 49.9 kN
Fvb(57.69)kN > fvb1 and fvb2 Therefore O.K.

CHECK FOR TENSION :

Tension in each bolt, Ft = Fa1/n = 49.9 kN

Ftb(140.67kN) > Ft Therefore O.K.

CHECK FOR WELD:

Weld between End plate and beam web Size of weld S = 8 mm

Load carrying Tw = 0.707 x S x d x 2 x Fy248 Tw = 559 kN
capacity of Weld

Tw (559kN) > 389.1 KN Therefore O.K.

Provide 8mm thk. Weld between End plate to web of beam
