COLUMN C8- FIRST FLOOR TO GROUND FLOOR

Ref Calculation
Considered the column from first floor to ground floor.
Fc = 1476.2 Kn
Try section: 203 x 203 x 46 Sₓ =497

Page B-1 & B = 203.2 d = 160.9 b/T = 9.24

B-2 D = 203.2 Ag = 58.8 d/T = 22.0
Design T = 11.0 rx = 8.81
Guide T = 7.3 ry = 5.11

Class of Section
Table 6 t = 7.3
T = 11.0 < 16 mm
Py = 275 N/mm2
ϵ = (275/275)1/2 = 1.0
Table 7 Limiting width to thickness ratios
Outstand element of compression flange (rolled sections);

Page B-1 b/T = 9.24 ≤ 15 ϵ

Design
Guide Web, where whole sections is subject to compression (rolled sections);
d/t = 22.0 ≤ 40 ϵ
The section is not slender. The sections is semi-compact.

Compression Resistance, Pc

Cl 4.7.2 Effective length of column;

Table 24 Lex = Ley = 0.85 x 4500 = 3825 mm
= 3.83 m
Pcx
Table 24 Le = 3.83 m
ʎy = Le / ry = 3825 / 51.1 =74.85 ~ 75
From table 24 (c), BS 5950, Pcy = 169 N/mm2
Pc for design is 169 N/mm2
 Pc = AgPc

Cl 4.7.6 Nominal Moment

eₓ = (D/ 2) + 100
= (203.2 / 2) + 100
= 201.6 mm

Moment total of first floor for x-x axis:

M2 = (592.5 – 174.3) x 201.6 x 10-3
= 84.31 kNm
So,
Mx = 84.31/2 = 42.16 kNm

Cl 4.7.6 My
ey = ( B/2 ) + 100
= (203.2/2) + 100
= 201.6 mm

Moment total of first floor for y-y axis:

M2 = (57.4 – 2.8) x 201.6 x 10-3 = 11.0 kNm
So,
My = 11.0/2 =5.5 kNm

Buckling resistant moment, Mbs

From table 16, BS 5950, Pb =275 N/mm2
Mbs = Mb = PbSx

= 136.68 x 106
(Fc/Pc) + (Mx/ Mbs) + (My/pyZy) ≤ 1.0
(1476.2 x 103 / 99.37) + (1 x 42.16 x 106 / 136.68 x 106) + (1 x 5.5 x 103 / 275 x
Cl 4.7.7 151 x 103)
= 0.15 + 0.31 + 0.13
