Ultimate Strength of Channel Section

The relevant properties of section ISMC 150 from Steel table

fy= 250 Mpa
a= 20.88 cm2
h= 150 mm
b= 75 mm
tf= 9 mm
tw= 4.4 mm
Section modulus Z= 103.9 cm3 103900 mm3

1. Design bending strength

Md= Bb*Z*fy/ɤmo As per IS 800:2007, cl. 8.2.1.2

= 23.6136 KNm
1.20m
2. Design shear strength
W

Vd= fy*h*tw/√3 *ɤmo As per IS 800:2007, cl. 8.4.1

= 86.6025 KN 0.40m
2.00m
Let's
The length of channel (L)= 2 m
Length of transformer (Lt)= 1.2 m
Distance of transformer leg from support (l)= 0.4 m

Maximum wt of transformer from bending strength= Md/l

= 236.136364 KN

Maximum wt of transformer from bending strength= Vd

346.410162 KN

Maximum unfactored weight of transformer= 157.424242 KN

16,047.32 Kg
