DESIGN FLOW CHART FOR


BUILT-UP MEMBERS
Main Member This flow chart is exactly same as
the general compression member flow chart
presented earlier.
Pu, Lux, Luy, Kx, Ky

R is assumed

φcFcr is evaluated for the assumed R

Areq is calculated

Selection of built-up section and checking


local stability

KL/r ≤ 200 (If not, revise the section)

φcFcr is evaluated for the actual slenderness ratio

φcPn = Asel × φcFcr ≥ Pu


(If not, revise the section)

Force in each lacing bar = Fu = N sin θ
or
2N sin θ

Length of lacing bar = le = s / sinθ


or s / sinθ × 0.7 for double lacing

Calculate length between the lacing points along the


main member (L) and check the following condition.
If the condition is not satisfied, increase the angle θ.

4.61 L / tf ≤ R
Prof. Dr. Zahid A. Siddiqi

le/r ≤ 140 for single lacing and


le/r ≤ 200 for double lacing

Find φcFcr depending on maximum allowed le/r

Areq = Fu / φc Fcr

For local stability: b / t ≤ 10.8 (preferably)

Determine the section for lacing bars, satisfying


the above requirements

Design end tie plates

Example 3.5: Design a column of length 8m,


pinned at both ends, consisting of two channels
placed back-to-back at a distance of 250 mm. Also
design flat lacing using 15 mm diameter rivets. Pu
= 3200 kN.
Solution:
Pu = 3200 kN : KLu = 8.0 m
Assumed R for built-up section = 70
φc Fcr = 173.53 MPa
Prof. Dr. Zahid A. Siddiqi

3200×10 3
Areq = = 18,440 mm2
173.53

Areq for one channel = 9,220 mm2

Using Reference 1, three sections with the same


weight (74 kg/m) may be selected.
However, 2Cs 380 × 74.0 have depth greater than
the other sections, which may be undesirable.
Similarly, 2Cs 310 × 74.0 have lesser rx-value.
Prof. Dr. Zahid A. Siddiqi

Trial Section: 2MCs 330 × 74.0 A = 9480 mm2 ;


rx = 117 mm ; ry = 26.9 mm ; d = 330 mm ;
bf = 112 mm ; tf = 15.5 mm ; tw = 20.0 mm

bf / tf = 112 / 15.5 = 7.23 < λr OK


h / tw = (330 – 2 × 15.5) / 20 = 14.95 < λr OK

Using Reference 1, approximate values of rx and ry


are:
rx = 0.36 h = 0.36 × 330
= 118.8 mm (exact value is 117mm)
ry = 0.6 b = 0.6 × 250 = 150 mm
Prof. Dr. Zahid A. Siddiqi

Exact value of ry should preferably be calculated


for the last trial.
In case of lacing, the individual slenderness ratio
is usually very small and modified slenderness
ratio will be very close to the original slenderness
ratio.
KL / rmin = 8000 / 118.8 ≈ 68

φcFcr = 176.09 MPa

φc Pn = 176.09×2×9480/1000 = 3338 kN
> Pu = 3200kN OK
Prof. Dr. Zahid A. Siddiqi

Final Selection: 2MCs 330 × 74.0


Vu = 0.02 φc Pn = 0.02 × 3338 = 66.8 kN

Using Reference 1, standard gage g = 64 mm for


bf = 112 mm
From Figure 3.31, we may calculate the following:
s = b + 2g
= 250 + 2 × 64
= 378 mm
s < 380 ⇒ single lacing
and θ = 60°

Longitudinal length between lacing points,


L = 2 × s cotθ = 437 mm
4.61 L / tf = 4.61 × 437 / 15.5 = 130.0
> 68 (Revise the angle θ)
For θ = 75°, L = 203 mm,
4.61 L / tf = 4.61 × 203 / 15.5 = 60.4
< 68 (OK)

Figure 3.32. Cross Section of


Flat Lacing.

Referring to Figure 3.32, four conditions are to be


satisfied in finding b and t.
Le/r ≤ 140 (maximum slenderness ratio)
Fu
b×t ≥
φ c Fcr
(for required compressive strength)
Prof. Dr. Zahid A. Siddiqi

b/t ≤ 10.8 (for local stability)


b ≥ 3d (to properly accommodate the rivet)

Properties of a flat bar are: A=b×t Imin = bt3/12


bt 3 12
rmin = = 0.289 t
bt

Using first condition, Le/r ≤ 140


365
≤ 140
0.289t

t ≥ 9.02 mm; try 10 mm thick bar (t=10mm)


Prof. Dr. Zahid A. Siddiqi

To satisfy the second condition,


365
Le/r = = 126.3
0.289×10

φcFcr = 95.69 MPa


34.6×1000
Areq = b×10 ≥
95.69
bmin = 36.2 mm
Using third condition, bmax = 10.8 × 10 = 108 mm
Using fourth condition, for diameter of rivet
d = 15mm, we have:
Prof. Dr. Zahid A. Siddiqi

bmin = 3d = 3 × 15 = 45 mm
Hence the plate width should be between 45mm
and 108 mm.
Let b = 50 mm
Minimum length of lacing bar= Le + 3d
= 365 + 3 × 15 = 410 mm
Provide 50 × 10 mm plate, 425mm long
End Tie Plate
tp ≥ s / 50 = 378 / 50 = 7.56 mm
∴ tp = 8mm
Prof. Dr. Zahid A. Siddiqi

Minimum length of tie plate = s = 378mm


Width of tie plate ≈ Width of section
= 250 + 2 × 112 = 474mm
Use 8 × 470 × 400 mm End Tie PLs
