Steel Bracket Design

The document summarizes the design of a steel bracket to support a skylight. It calculates the load factors and forces acting on the bracket. The load per meter is 1.55 kN and each bracket must support 1.22 kN. It then checks the shear capacity of two 10mm expansion bolts and the 7mm thick steel bracket to withstand the forces. Both the bolts and bracket are determined to be safe and a 100mm x 100mm x 7mm angle bar bracket with two 10mm bolts is adopted for the design.

MC-3 TYPE 1 SKYLIGHT

DESIGN OF STEEL BRACKET:


For the Tributary loading area(See Figure 1) Length(L) = 3.154m Width(B) = 1.577m Tributary area(A) = L x B = 3.154 x 1.577 = 4.974 m2

DESIGN LOADS: Dead Load(DL) Live Load(LL) Total Load (W)

= 40 kg/m2; = 60 kg/m2; =100 kg/m2(0.981kN/m2)

For uniformly load acting on the beam(350mmx350mm steel section), WL WL = W.B = 0.981(1.577) WL = 1.55 kN/m Reactions acting on the end of beam, R R = WL . L/2 = 1.55 (3.154)(0.50) R =2.44 kN : Since there are two(2) brackets on beam support, the force(P) acting on each brackets will be; P = R/2 = 2.44(0.50) P =1.22 kN

From figure 3; Distances from the centroid of the group of bolts, x = 0mm; y =50mm Resolving forces acting on its axis

fx = fy =
(x2 + y2) = 02 + 502 = 2,500 mm2 For moment acting due to load, M M = P.d = 1.22 x 103 (100) M = 122,000 N.mm For forces acting on the on x and y axis

fx = fy =

Forces acting on the bolts, R R = 2.44/2 Since there are two(2) bolts = 2.44 (0.5 R = 1.44 kN USING 10mm ASTM A307 Expansion bolt Note: ASTM A307 Bolts are the lesser strength capacity bolts. If using ASTM A325 or ASTM A490 bolts, the allowable will increase. Check for shear 1. Shear on bolt R = 1.44 kN
Rn = Fn Ab [AISC-05(J3-3)]

Where: Rn = nominal shear strength Fnv = 165 Mpa Ab = nominal area of bolt Ab Rn Rn = D2/4 = 3.1416(10)2/4 = 78.54mm2 =FnvAb = 165 x 78.54 = 12,959.10 N say 12.96 kN

(AISC -05 Tble J3.2)

Allowable; Rn/;; where ; = 2.0


Rn/; = 12.96/2.0 = 6.48 kN > 2.44 kN @ SAFE

[AISC-05 (J3-1)]

2. Shear on bracket
Rn = 0.60Fy An

[AISC-05(J4-4)]

An = net area subject to shear Fy = 248 Mpa (For A36 Steel) An = t x Db where : t = 7.0mm thickness of plate; Db =10mm diameter of bolt An = t x Db = 7(10) Ab = 70mm2 Rn Rn = 0.60Fy Abn =0.60(248)(70) = 10416N say 10.42 kN Allowable; Rn/;; where ; = 2.0
Rn/; = 10.42/2.0 = 5.21 kN > 2.44 kN @ SAFE

[AISC-05 (J4-4)]

THEREFORE ADOPT 100mm x 100mm x 7mm Angle bar with 2-10mm EXPANSION BOLT STEEL BRACKET .
