i) Classification of Sections:

b / tf = 62.5 / 12.5 = 5 < 9.4e = 9.4 x 1 = 9.4 The Section is Plastic

d / tw = 225 / 6.9 = 32.61 < 84e = 84 x 1 = 84 The Section is Plastic

Hence, The Section is Plastic for direct load and The Section is Plastic for Bending

ii) Check for resistance of the section against material failure due to the combined effects of the loading: (Clause- 9.3.1)

Axial Strength of the section, N d = Af y / γ m0 = 1080.68 kN βb = 1.0

Actual direct load, N = 50 kN

Hence, n = N/Nd = 0.05 ≤ 0.2

Now, Mdz = βb x Zpz x fy / γm0 = 105.91 kN-m

∴ Mndz = 1.11 x Mdz x (1 - n) ≤ Mdz

∴ Mndz = 1.11 x 105.91 x (1 - 0.05) = 111.68 kN-m > 105.91 kN-m

∴ Mndz = Mdz = 105.91 kN-m

Actual Bending Moment, Mz = 40 kN-m

For n ≤ 0.2, Mndy = Mdy = βb x Zpy x fy / γm0 = (1 x 84 x 250) / (1.1 x 1000) = 19.09 kN-m

(b b = 1.0 for calculation of M dz and M dy as per clause 8.2.1.2 )

iii) Check for resistance of the section against material failure due to the combined effects of the loading: (Clause- 9.3.1)

(a) Determination of P dz , P dy and P d (Clause 7.1.2)

KL y = KL z = 0.85 x 460 = 391 cm

KL y / r y = 147.55

KL z / r z = 37.63

For major axis bending buckling curve ‘a’ is applicable (Refer – Table 10 of IS 800 : 2007)
Since, h/b f = 2 > 1.2
From Table 9(a) for KLz / rz = 37.63, fcdz = 214.66 N/mm 2
Hence, P dz = 1020.71 kN

For minor axis bending buckling curve ‘b’ is applicable (Refer – Table 10 of IS 800 : 2007)
Since, t f = 12.5 ≤ 40
From Table 9(b) for KLy / ry = 147.55, fcdy = 65.91 N/mm 2
Hence, P dy = 313.4 kN

Therefore, P d = P dy = 313.4 kN and ny = 0.16

nz = 0.05
(b) Determination of M dz (Clause 9.3.2.2 & 8.2.2.1)

Therefore, Mcr = (3.14² x 200000 x 3345000 x 237.5 / 2 x (3910)² x √(1 + 1/20(147.55 / (237.5/12.5))²)

= 102666447.7 N-mm

Now, f bd = χ LT . f y / γ m = 0.62 x 250 / 1.1 = 140.91 N/mm 2

Hence, M dz = β b. Z pz. f bd = 1 x 466000 x 140.91 = 65664060 N-mm

(c) Determination of M dy (Clause 8.2.1.2)

M dy = β b. Z py . f y / γ m = 1 x 84000 x 250 / 1.1 = 19090909.09 N-mm

C mz = 0.6 + 0.4 x 0.38 = 0.752 = C mLT

(e) Determination of C my (Clause 9.3.2.2)

ψ = 0.4

C my = 0.6 + 0.4 x 0.4 = 0.76

(f) Determination of K y , K z , and K LT (Clause 9.3.2.2)

K y = 1 + (λy - 0.2)ny = 1.23 > 1.128

Hence, K y = 1.128

K z = 1 + (λz - 0.2)nz = 1.01 ≤ 1.04

Hence, K z = 1.01

K LT = 1 - (0.1λLT ny /(CmLT - 0.25) = 0.97 < 0.97
