Introduction:

The following is a validation problem for a detailed calculation of the axial check for the Russian SP 16 I section design.

Validation Problem:

A 7.5 m long column formed from a HD320X127 I section (Steel grade: S235), is checked for an applied concentrated load of 3500 KN at the tip.

Manual Calculation:

Section Properties:

HD320X127

D= 320 mm, B= 300 mm, Tf= 20.5 mm, Tw= 11.5 mm, Ix= 30820 cm⁴, Iy= 9239 cm⁴, Wx= 1926.5 cm³, Sx= 1070 cm³, J= 225.1 cm⁴, H= 2.069*10^12 mm⁶

rx = 13.8 cm, ry = 7.57 cm, An = 161 cm²

Material Properties:

S235

E = 205000 MPa, fy = 235 MPa, γc1 = 1, γc2 = 1

Check for Axial Force:

As per clause 7.1.1, we need to satisfy eqn. 5 of SP-16.13330.2011:

N/(A_n*R_y*γ_c) < = 1

So, 3500/(161*10^-4*235*1000*1.0) = 0.9251 < 1 [OK]

STAAD.Pro value is 0.92 [Matching]

KY = KZ = 0.75

λx = KL/r = 7.5*0.75/0.138 = 40.76

λy = KL/r = 7.5*0.75/0.0757 = 74.3

λ̅x = λx*√(Ry/E) = 1.38

λ̅y = λy*√(Ry/E) = 2.516

λ̅ = 2.516

As per clause 7.1.3, we need to satisfy eqn. 5 of SP-16.13330.2011:

N/(ф*A*R_y*γ_c) < = 1 [eqn. 7]

From eqn. 8, we get:

Ф = 0.5*[∂-√(∂²-39.48*λ̅²)]/(λ̅)²

From eqn. 9, ∂ = 9.87*(1-α+β*λ̅) + λ̅²

From table 7, we get α = 0.04, β = 0.09

So, ∂ = 9.87*(1-0.04+0.09*2.516) + 2.516² = 18.040

Now, ф = 0.5*[18.04-√(18.04²-39.48*2.516²)]/2.516² = 0.7385 < 7.6/λ̅², i.e. 1.2006 [OK]

N/(ф*A*R_y*γ_c) = 3500/(0.7385*0.0161*235000*1.0) = 1.2526 > 1.0

STAAD.Pro value is 1.25 [Matching]

As per clause 7.3.2: λ̅w < λ̅uw

h_ef = D-4*t_f = 320-4*20.5 mm = 238 mm

λ̅w = (h_ef/t_w)*√(R_y/E) = 0.693

STAAD.Pro value is 0.699 [Matching]

From table 9, < λ̅uw = 1.2+0.35*λ̅ = 2.0806 (eqn. 24)

STAAD.Pro value is 2.08 [Matching]

Hence, λ̅w < λ̅uw [OK]

As per clause 7.3.8: λ̅f < λ̅uf

b_ef = 0.5*(B-2*t_w) = 0.5*(300-4*11.5) = 127 mm

λ̅f = (b_ef/t_f)*√(R_y/E) = 0.209

STAAD.Pro value is 0.209 [Matching]

From table 10, < λ̅uf = 0.36+0.1*λ̅ = 0.6116 (eqn. 37)

STAAD.Pro value is 0.611 [Matching]

Hence, λ̅f < λ̅uf [OK]
