8.5 Design Examples: 8.5.1 Design Example (Slab Base)
Referring to figure 8.10, the projection of the base plate from the edge of the column is obtained as a = greater projection = 0.5(750 - 420) = 165 mm b = smaller projection = 0.5(750 - 525) = 112.5 mm
Intensity of pressure on base plate = 3.56 N/mm2 Permissible bearing stress in base plate sbs = 185N/mm2 The thickness of the base plate is obtained from the relation
t=
3w bs

) m0 f y > t f
= 37mm
3. Cleat angle For connecting the column section to the base plate, adopt ISA 100 x 100 x 10 mm angles with four 22mm diameter rivets on flange side and ISA 75 x 75 x 8 mm with three 22mm diameter rivets in the webs.
= (400 + 20 + 24 + 200 + 60) = 704mm Length of base plate parallel to the flanges = 750mm. Adopt a base plate of size 750mm x 750mm as shown in Fig 5.2a
w = (2000 x 103 / 750 x 750) = 3.55 Nmm2 Referring to Fig 5.2b, cantilever projection of plate from the face of the gusset angle = 141 mm.
3.55 x 1412 = 2
= 35288 N / mm
Thickness of base plate = (t - thickness of angle leg) = (33.8 - 12) = 21.8mm Adopt 750 x 750 x 22 mm base plate.
3. Connections
Outstand on each side = (750 - 400)/2 = 175 mm
Load on each connection = (175 x 750 x 3.55)/1000 = 466 kN Using 22mm diameter rivets,
Therefore least value of rivet = 43.4kN Number of rivets = (466/43.4) = 11 Adopt 16 rivets connecting gusset angles with plate and the same number of rivets to connect the gusset plate with the column. The arrangement of rivets and the details of the gusseted base are shown in Fig 8.12
(b) Cantillever projection Fig 8.12 Gusset and base plate details
Using gusseted base for the column, Total load on foundation = (2000kN + 10% for self weight of foundation) = 2200 kN
Two tiers of girders will be used. Bottom-tier area = (2200/300) = 7.33 m2 Using a square grillage, side length = 7.33 = 2.72 m
Allowing 125mm concrete cover on all the sides, the overall size of the grillage block = (3.0m x 3.0m)
2. Design of top-tier girders The bending moment is obtained as M = W/8 (L - L1) Where W = axial load on column = 2000kN L = length of grillage = 2.75m L1 = length of base plate = 0.75m M = 2000/8 (2.75 - 0.75) = 500kNm Allowable stress can be increased by 33.33% since the beams are encased in concrete. Therefore bt = (165 x 1.33) = 220 N/mm2
M Z= bt
4 3 = 227 x10 mm
Section modulus
Using three beams in top tier, Z for each beam = (227 x 104 / 3) = 756600mm3 Use ISBM 350 having the section properties Zxx = 778900 mm3 tf = 14.2 mm tw = 8.1 mm
BM is obtained as
M=
Using eight beams in the bottom tier, Z for each beam = (239 x 104 / 8) = 298 x 103 Use ISLB 250, Zxx = 297 x 103mm3 Spacing of beams = 1 / 7(2.75 - 0.125) = 0.375 m Use eight beams of ISLB 250 spaced at 375 mm c/c. Maximum shear force is given by
V= 2000 W ( L L2 ) = ( 2.75 0.75 ) = 730kN 2L 2 x 2.75
Shear force per beam = (730 / 8) = 91.25 kN Shear stress = v = (91.25 x 103 / 6.1 x 250 ) = 60 N/mm2 < 100N/mm2 Adopt separators made up of angles ISA 50 x 50 x 6mm and 2.75 m long, welded or bolted with 12mm diameter bolts to the flanges of the lower-tier girders at two ends to prevent displacement of girders. The plan and elevation of the grillage foundation is shown in figure 8.14.
