1. EUROCODES are the set of harmonized technical rules for the design of
construction works developed for EU countries.
3. i) Will encourage and facilitate the marketing and use of materials, structural
components and kits.
ii) The competitiveness of the Eurocodes civil engineering firms, contractors,
designers and product manufacturers in their worldwide activities will be increased.
4. The statement for part (3) is ‘The basic requirements of EN 1990 section 2 should
be deemed be satisfied for steel structure.’ Where :
- limit state design is used in conjunction with the partial factor method
- the load combinations given in EN 1990 together with the actions given in EN
1991.
5.
Indicated (years) Examples
10 Temporary structures (other than can be dismantle or reuse)
10-25 Replaceable structural parts (gantry girders and bearings)
15-30 Agricultural structures
50 Building and other common structures
100 Monumental building structures, bridges and other civil
engineering structures
TOPIC 2
6. Ultimate limit state is associated with collapse or with other similar forms of
structural failure and concerned with ‘collapse’ like yielding, buckling and
overturning.
Design Load
- Dead Load :
Concrete Slab - 150mm thickness = 24×0.15
= 3.6kN/m3
Plywood Finishing = 1.0kN/m3
GK =
4.6kN/m3
- Self weight Beam = 77 × (9.5×10-3)
= 0.7kN/m
- Wall Partition = 3kN/m2 × 4m
= 12kN/m
- Live Load, QK = 1.5kN/m2
Panel A-C/2-4
- Area = 1/2(6.500+1.360)(2.570)
= 10.10m2
- Total Load = Area × Design Load
= 10.10[1.35(4.6)]+10.10[1.5(1.5)]
= 85.45kN
- Shear Force, VEd = w/2
= 85.45/2
= 42.73kN
- aL = 2.57
a = 2.57/L
= 2.57/6.50
= 0.40
- Bending Moment, MEd = [(3-4a2) / 24(1-a)]wL
= [(3 - 4(0.40)2 ) / 24(1-0.40)] × 85.45 × 6.50
= 91.02 kNm
Panel C-D/3-4
- Area = 1/2 (3.750)(1.875)
= 3.52m2
- Total Load = Area × Design Load
= 3.52[1.35(4.6)] + 3.52[1.5(1.5)]
= 29.78kN
- Shear Force, VEd =
w/2
= 29.78/2
= 14.89kN
- Bending Moment, MEd = wL/6
= 14.89(3.75)/6
= 9.30 kNm
Panel C-D/2-3
- Area = 1/2 (2.75+0.49)(1.13)
= 1.83m2
- Total Load = Area × Design Load
= 1.83[1.35(4.6)] + 1.83[1.5(1.5)]
= 15.48kN
- Shear Force, VEd =
w/2
= 15.48/2
= 7.74kN
- aL=1.13
a = 1.13/L
= 1.13/2.75
= 0.41
- Bending Moment, MEd = [(3 - 4a2) / 24(1-a)]wL
= [(3 - 4(0.41)2) / 24(1-0.41)]×15.48×2.75
= 6.99kNm
Strength Classification
- tf = 9.7mm < 40mm
- fy = 275N/mm2
- fu = 430N/mm2
- For flange subject to compression, cf/tf = 7.41
9ϵ = 9(0.92)
= 8.28
cf/tf < 9ϵ, so Flange in Class 1
- For web subject to compression, cw/tw =
44.5
72ϵ = 72(0.92)
= 66.24
cw/tw < 72ϵ, so Web in Class 1
- Therefore, the section is in Class 1(Plastic)
Check Deflection
- Wmax < Wallow
- Wallow = L/360
= 6500/360
= 18.06 mm
- W UDL 1 = (4a2 - 5)2wL3 / 1920(1-a)EI
= [4(0.40)2 - 5]2 × [10.10 × 1.5(1.5) × 103] × (6500)3
/1920(1-0.40)(210×103)(12100×104)
= 4.05mm
- WUDL 2 = wL3/60EI
= [3.52×1.5(1.5)×103](6500)3 / 60(210×103)(12100×104)
= 1.43mm
- W UDL 3 = (4a2 - 5)2wL3 / 1920(1-a)EI
= [4(0.41)2 - 5]2 × [1.83 × 1.5(1.5) × 103] × (6500)3
/1920(1-0.41)(210×103)(12100×104)
= 0.73 mm
- WMax = 4.05 + 1.43 + 0.73
= 6.21mm
- WMax (6.21mm) < Wallow (18.06mm), therefore deflection checking is satisfied.
