1. Given:
B= 150 mm
H=120 mm
t= 20 mm
l= 4000 mm
E= 200x103 N/mm2
Solving for the Moment of Inertia
Center of Gravity= [(A1y1) + (A2y2)]/ (A1 + A2)
A1= (150 mm x 20 mm) = 3000 mm2
y1 (from top flange) = 20/2 =10 mm
A2= (100 mm x 20 mm) = 2000 mm2
y2 (from top flange) = 20 mm + 100/2 = 70 mm
Center of Gravity = [(3000mm2 x 10mm) + (2000mm2 x 70mm)]/ (3000mm2 + 2000mm2)
Center of Gravity = 34 mm
Ixx = [(b1 x h13/12)] + A1(Center of Gravity – y1) + [(b2 x h23/12)] + A2(y2 – Center of
Gravity)
Ixx = [(150 x 203/12)] + 3000(34 – 10) + [(20 x 1003/12)] + 2000(70 – 34)
Ixx = 6.1 x 106 mm4
Since there is symmetry about the y axis
Iyy = (b1 x h13/12) + (b2 x h23/12)
Iyy = (150 x 203/12) + (20 x 1203/12)
Iyy = 5.7 x106 mm4
Since Iyy is less, we consider Iyy.
Solving for the Crippling Load
Wcr = (π2 x E x I)/L2
For both ends fixed, L= l/2
Wcr = (9.87 x 200x103 N/mm2 x 5.7 x106 mm4)/ (4000mm/2)2
Wcr = 2812.95 kN
For one end fixed and one end hinged, L= l/ √2
Wcr = (9.87 x 200x103 N/mm2 x 5.7 x106 mm4)/ (4000mm//2)2
Wcr = 1406.48 kN
For one end fixed and one end free, L= 2l
Wcr = (9.87 x 200x103 N/mm2 x 5.7 x106 mm4)/ (2x4000 mm/)2
Wcr = 175.81 kN
2. Given:
B= 200 mm
h = 400 mm
t = 10mm
l= 6000mm
E= 200 x103 /mm2
Solving for the Moment of Inertia:
Ixx = (B x h3)/12 – (b-d3)/12
Ixx = (200 x 4003)/12 – ((200-10) – (400-2(10))3)/12
Ixx = 200 x106 mm4
Iyy = 2[(t x B3)/12) + (d x t3)/12
Iyy = 2[(10 x 2003)/12) + ((400-20) x 103)/12
Iyy = 13.36 x106 mm4
Since Iyy is less, we consider Iyy.
Solving for the Crippling Load
Wcr = (π2 x E x I)/L2
For both ends hinged, L= l
Wcr = (9.87 x 200x103 N/mm2 x 13.36 x106 mm4)/ (6000 mm)2
Wcr = 732.57 kN
For one end hinged and one end fixed, L= l/√2
Wcr = (9.87 x 200x103 N/mm2 x 13.36 x106 mm4)/ (6000 mm/√2)2
Wcr = 1465.15 kN
For one end fixed and one end free, L= 2l
Wcr = (9.87 x 200x103 N/mm2 x 13.36 x106 mm4)/ (2x6000 mm/)2
Wcr = 183.14 kN
