Moment resistance of Moment plates For IPA 600 x 220(108)

Steel grade 350
Allowable flexural stress = .66 x fy = .66 x350 = 231 N/mm2
= 2310 kg/cm2

Z of primary beam = 2777.8 cm3

Maxm moment capacity of the beam section = 2777.8 x 2310
= 64.16 Tm

Top moment plate size = 280 x 16

Bottom moment plates size = 500 x 16
Cg of combined plates 28 x 1.6 x Ῡ = 50 x1.6 x (60-Ῡ)
44.8 Ῡ = 4800 - 80 Ῡ
124.8 Ῡ = 4800

 2. MOMENT OF RESISTANCE CHECK FOR THE PROVIDED WELD FOR MOMENT PLATES
Allowable flexural stress of weld 0.66 x fy = 0.66 x 350 = 231.0 N/mm2
= 2310 Kg/cm2
Section Modulus Zxx = 2777.8 cm3
Max. Moment Capacity of Beam = 2777.8 x 2310 / 105
= 64.16 Tm
Provided Weld Size = 12 mm
Provided Weld Length = 140x2x2 mm = 560 mm
Moment of Resistance for the weld = 2310 x 1/√2 x 560 x 1.2 x 30 x 2 / 105
= 66.13 Tm > 64.16 Tm
3. CONNECTING CLEAT SECTION & WELD ADEQUACY CHECK FOR SHEAR

Overall Height = 600 mm

Flange Thickness = 17.5 mm

Web Thickness = 9.8 mm

Steel Grade fy = 350

Allowable shear stress (fy/√3) x 1/vmo = ( 350/√3 ) x (1/1.1) = 183.7 N/mm2

Shear length of beam = 600 – 17.5x2 = 565 mm

Shear strength of the beam = (565x9.8 x183.7) = 1017 KN

Connection to be designed for 80% of the member capacity = 80% of 1017 KN = 814 KN

Provide 100 x100 x10 cleat (Grade 250) L = 500mm

Shear strength of the weld (size 8 mm) (cl.10.5.7 // IS 800 : 2007) = 1/√2 x L x { ( fu / √3) x (1/vmv) } x 2 x weld size

= 1/√2 x 500 x (410/√3) x (1/1.5) x 2 x .8

= 892.5 KN > 814.0 KN OK

Shear strength of the cleat fy = 250

Allowable shear stress (fy/√3) x 1/vmo = ( 250/√3 ) x (1/1.1) = 131.2 N/mm2

Cleats in Double shear = 2 x 500 x 10 x 131.2 = 1312.0 KN > 814.0 KN OK
