Design of Compression members- Biaxial Bending by §.Praveenkumar Assistant:Professor DepartmentrofiCivil Engineering PSG! Gollegé: of Téchnology Coimbatore Introduction > A column with axial load and biaxial bending is commonly found in structures because of two major reasons: “Axial load may have natural eccentricities, though small, with respect to both the axes. Corner columns of a building may be subjected to bending moments in both the directions along with axial load Examples |) External fagade columns under combined vertical and horizontal load 2)Beams supporting helical or free-standing stairs or oscillating and rotary machinery are subjected to biaxial bending with or without axial load of either compressive or tensile stress. Biaxial Eccentricities > Every column should be treated as being 9 2-™? \ subjected to axial compression along with 7 biaxial bending by considering possible eccentricities of the axial load with respect to both the major axis(xx-axis) as well as Ds , minor axis (y-axis). oh xe, > These eccentricities, designated as e, and e with respect of x and y axes, may be cece atleast e,, though in majority of cases of — ix! eccentricities biaxial bending, these may be much more then e,, ) These two moments My and My about the two axes can be resolved into a single resultant moment M, about an axis r-r inclined to the two axes as under = Mu = V Mix + Mi Alternatively, the two eccentricities ¢, (= My/P,) and e,(=M,y/P,) can be resolved into a resultant eccentricity e¢(=M,/P,), given by (Fig.d) e=Vatra The resultant eccentricity (e) is inclined at an angle 6 with the y-axis, given by O=un'& e ‘The resultant axis of bending is perpendicular to the line joining the point of loading (P,) to the centroid of the section, as shown in Fig. (d). The neutral axis (Fig. @ will generally not be parallel to the axis of bending. The method of locating the position of N.A., by trial and error, is very tedious and laborious. Method Suggested by I$ 456-2000 > The method set out in clause 39.6 of the code is based on an assumed failure surface that extends the axial load-moment diagram (P-M) for single axis bending in three dimensions. Such an approach is also known as Breslar's Load contour method, > According to the code, the left hand side of the equation Ma)".

Find ratio of P/P. Step-2- Determine Uniaxial Moment Capacities M, and M, combined with axial load P.. using Appropriate Interaction curves(Design charts) for case of column subjected to axial load (P, ) and Uniaxial Moment. Step-4-Compute the values of M,/M,,and M,/M,, from chart 64 of uu SP-I6, Find the permissible value of M,/M,, corresponding top the above values of M,/M, and P./P. If actual value of M./M,, is more than the above value found from chart 64 of SP 6, the assumed section is unsafe and needs revision. Even if the assumed value is over safe, it needs revision for the sake of economy. a! Simplified method as per BS8ll0 As per BS 8110, a column subjected to P,,M,, and My, can be designed for uniaxial bending corresponding to (Py, Mux’) or (Py, My’) depending upon the following conditions. Condition 1. When My./d,>Myy/dy, My’ controls the design, where Mat! = Mux + 0 Myy Tes Condition 2, When My/d,Myy/dy, My’ controls the design, where Mat! = Mux + 0 Myy Tes Condition 2, When My/d,
