1 CIVL473 Fundamentals of Steel Design CHAPTER 3 Design of Beams Prepared By Asst.Prof.Dr. Murude Celikag DESIGN OF STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS 3. Beams in Buildings 3.1. Laterally Restrained Beams Restrained beams should not fail by lateral instability. Their design should consider the following criteria: lateral restraint force bending capacity of section shear capacity of section combined bending and shear web bearing and buckling Dr.Murude Celikag 1

2 BS 5950: Part 1 Clause Full Lateral Restraint Full lateral restraint exists if the frictional or positive connection of a floor or other construction to the compression flange of the member is capable of resisting lateral force of not less than 2.5% of the maximum factored force in the compression flange of the member, under factored loading. This load should be considered as distributed uniformly along the flanges, provided that the dead load of the floor and the imposed load it supports together constitute the dominant loading on the beam. The floor construction should be capable of resisting this lateral force. a) Design Procedure Select section and determine the design strength of the steel Determine the section classification For slender sections, reduce the value of design strength Check the shear capacity with low shear load with high shear load Check the buckling resistance of the web Check the bearing resistance of the web Dr.Murude Celikag 2

3 b) Section Classification Due to the influence of local buckling of the flange and webs, rolled sections are classified as follows: Slender - the elastic moment capacity of the section cannot be attained Semi-compact - the elastic moment capacity, but not the plastic moment capacity, of the section can be attained Compact - the plastic moment capacity of the section can be attained, but elastic analysis of the frame is to be used Plastic - as for compact section, but there is sufficient rotation capacity for plastic design of the frame c) Bending Moment Capacity For plastic or compact sections the moment capacity M c is: M c = p y S<1.2 p y Z For slender sections: M c = p y Z where p y <p y [Clause 3.6) Dr.Murude Celikag 3

4 d) Influence of Shear According to Code the shear failure modes are as follows: the shear capacity of the web is exceeded shear buckling adjacent to supports or under point loads may occur The latter is for very slender sections and is not generally a design criterion. Therefore, the shear capacity of the web Clause P v = 0.6 p y A v For rolled I-sections, channels A v = web thickness x overall beam depth For built up sections and boxes, channels A v = web thickness x web depth e) Bending and Shear If shear load, F v > P v = 0.6 p y A v then for compact and plastic sections (Clause 4.2.6) M c = p y (S-S v 1 ) <1.2p y Z Where, 1 =2.5(F v / P v ) 1.5 For equal flange sections S v is the plastic modulus of the shear area. Dr.Murude Celikag 4

5 f) Web Buckling To prevent web buckling under point loads or reactions applied via the flange the following additional requirements are made (Clause and see figure). The buckling resistance P w is given by Pw b1 n1 tpc b 1 = stiff bearing length t = is the web thickness n 1 = length obtained by dispersion at 45 o through half the depth of the section p c = compressive strength of the web (Clause 4.7.5, Table 27(c)) Clause gives a value of of 2.5d/t on the assumption that the web is acting as a fixed-ended strut with a value of L E = 0.7d (d is the depth of the web) L r As y r L r E y E y 0.7d r y 3 I y t t A 12t d 0.7d 2.43 t t d 2.5 t L E can be changed to suit the web restraint conditions. Dr.Murude Celikag 5

6 g) Web Bearing When loads are applied directly through the flange Clause requires that the web is checked at its junction with the flange in order to ensure that the design strength is not exceeded. The local capacity (P crip ) is taken as b 1 n tpyw P crip 2 P yw n 2 is the design strength of the web is the length obtained by dispersion through the flange to the flange-t-web connection at a slope of 1: 2.5 to the plane of the flange. DESIGN OF STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS 2. Laterally Unrestrained Beams Loading a beam in its stiffer plane (the plane of the web) would induce a failure by buckling in a less stiff direction (by deflecting sideways, u, and twisting,, about a vertical axis through the web). Thus the bending strength will now be a function of the beam s slenderness analysis of lateral-torsional buckling is considerably more complex. It requires greater degree of calculations. Dr.Murude Celikag 6

7 a) Factors Influencing Lateral Stability 1) The buckling load of the beam depends on its unbraced span, i.e. the distance between points at which lateral deflection is prevented. 2) The shape of the cross section would have some influence. 3) Beams under non-uniform moment force in the compression flange is no longer be constant 4) End restraints which inhibits development of the buckling shape is likely to increase the stability of the beam. 5) If a beam is laterally continuous, buckling involves the whole span with the more stable segments restraining the critical segment. Warning!! Beams designed as Laterally Restrained may not be adequately restrained during erection. Stability checks at this stage are also necessary. The buckling resistance (M b ) of a beam may be found by use of a number of parameters and factors: Effective Length (L E ), which allows for the effects of end restraint as well as type of beam, and the existance of destabilizing forces. Minor Axis Slenderness (λ), which includes lateral stiffness in the form of r y, and is defined by λ= L E /r y Torsional Index (x), which is a measure of the torsional stiffness of a cross section. Slenderness Factor (v), which allows for torsional stiffness and includes the ration λ/x. Slenderness Correction Factor (n), which is dependent on the moment variation along the beam. Buckling Parameter (u), which allows for section type and includes a factor for warping. Equivalent Slenderness (λ LT ), which combines the above parameters and from which the bending strength (p b ) may be derived λ LT =nuvλ In addition, an equivalent moment factor (m) is used which allows for the effect of moment variation along the beam.

If the end conditions differ then take the mean value. b) Beams with effective intermediate lateral restraints as well as at their ends. L E for parts of the beam may be obtained from the following: i. Parts of beam between restraints: actual distance between the restraints. ii. Part of the beam between the end of the beam and the first internal lateral restraint: Mean value of (i) and the value given by Table 7 or 8 of the Manual. Dr.Murude Celikag 15
