4) Monorail Design:

1- Load Combination

a. Dead Load:
Assume own weight = 0.1 t/m
VDL = 0.1*(5/2) = 0.25t
MDL = 0.1*(5/2)2 = 0.31t.m
RDL = 2VDL = 0.5t
b. Live Load:
5VLL – 3*4 – 3*5 = 0
VLL = 5.4t
VLL (impact) = 1.25*5.4 = 6.75
Lateral Shock = 0.1*5.4 = 0.55t
Max moment:
According to influence line rule, forces should be placed in that matter
ΣMA = 0 -> 3*2.25 + 3*3.25 – 5RB = 0
RB = 3.3t
RA = 6-3.3 = 2.7t
MLL = R*distance to wheel
= 2.7*2.25
= 6.075t.m
MLL (impact) = 1.25*6.075 = 7.59t.m
Mschock = 0.1*MLL = 0.1*6.075 = 0.6t.m
Total factored Load:
Vu = (1.2*0.25) + (1.6*6.75) = 10.85t.m
Mux = (1.2*0.31) + (1.6*7.59) = 12.5t.m
Muy = 0 + 1.6*0.6 = 0.96t.m
Frame:
Ru = 1.2*0.5 + 1.6*6.75 = 11.4t
Hu = 1.2*0 + 1.6*0.55 = 0.88t
2) Design IPE Section: (ST37)
Assume compact section: No L.T.B
Mux + K∗Muy Z𝑥
Zxp ≥ 0.9∗fy
where (k = 𝑍𝑦 = 6 for IPE ; 4 for UPN)
12.5+6∗0.96
Zxp > 0.9∗3.6 ∗ 100 = 563.58

Zxi = 1.1 = 512
