WIDE FLANGE MEMBER UNDER BENDING

EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
The frame object axial strengths are tested in this example.

A continuous beam is subjected to factored distributed load w = 48.74 kN/m.

This example was tested using the Indian IS 800:2007 steel frame design code.
The design capacities are compared with independent hand calculated results.

TECHNICAL FEATURES TESTED

 Section compactness check (beam)
 Section shear capacity
 Member bending capacity

RESULTS COMPARISON

Independent results are taken from hand calculations based on the CSI steel
design documentation contained in the file “SFD-IS-800-2007.pdf,” which is
available through the program “Help” menu. The example was taken from
Example 10.8 on pp. 897-901 in “Design of Steel Structures” by N. Subramanian.
The torsional constant, It, is calculated by the program as a slightly different
value, which accounts for the percent different in section bending resistance.

Section Compactness:

fy 250

r1 =0 since there is no axial force

Localized Buckling for Flange:

b 90
λ=
e = = 6.38
t f 14.1

λe = 6.38 < λ p = 9.40

So Flange is Plastic in pure bending

So Web is Plastic in pure bending

Since Flange & Web are Plastic, Section is Plastic.
