Section Properties IS MC 300

Depth of Section "D" = 200 mm

Width of Section "bf" = 75 mm
Radius of Gyration "rz" = 80.2 mm
Radius of Gyration "ry" = 22.2 mm
Moment of Inertia "Ix" or "Iz" 18300000 mm4
Moment of Inertia "Iy" = 1410000 mm4
Area of Section "A" = 2850 mm2
Centroid "Cy" = 22 mm
Gauge "g" = 15 mm
"tf" = 11.4 mm
"tw" = 6.2 mm

Step 3: Determine the Spacing of the Channel Section

Spacing is maintained such that ry >> rz is ensure for Built up Section

Iz =Iz1 + Iz2 = 36600000 mm4

Iy =Iy1 + Iy2 =2[ Iy + A { (X /2) - Cy }^2]

X= 197.965136176651 mm
S' = 47.9651361766512 mm
Hence,But for Built up section Minimum radius of gyration will be about Z axis
so, mm
Check for slenderness ratio
Minimum Radius of gyration " rz " = √(Izz / A )
 = √(36600000 / 5700 )
= 80.1314709
Maximum Slenderness ratio about minor axis

λmax = KLy / rz
= 62.397456863

The section is safe against slenderness check as the allowable ratio in Axial Compression is

ii) Web = d/tw = 28.580645161
Thus,Provided Section is CLASS I Plastic section

Calculation of tension capacity (As per Section 6.2 and 6.3)

Net Section Factor = NSF = 1

Design against block shear is not performed. Thus, DBS = 0.0
Partial safety factor for failure in tension by yielding = γm0 = 1.1
Partial safety factor against ultimate tension failure by rupture = γm1 = 1.25
Factor for calculation of tearing strength of net section depends on no of bolts
