Pin Information
Diameter = 30 mm
Number of pin = 4
Grade = Gr 8.8
Yield strength, fy = 640 MPa
Ult. Tensile strength, fu = 800 MPa
Steel Ramp
Dead load = 1 kPa
Live load = 3 kPa
Platform size = 10 m (L) x 6 m (W)
Pin Design
Tension due to Fx = 15% of Total Vertical Force (DL + LL)
= 15% of [(1x1.35)+(31.5)]x10x6
= 52.65 kN / 4 nos of pin connections
= 13.17 kN per pin
Plate Design
Plastic Resistance, Npl,Rd = Afy/γm0
= 180x20x275/1
= 990 kN
Ultimate Resistance, Nu,Rd = 0.9Anetfy/γm2
= 0.9x([180-30]x20)x275/1.25
= 594 kN
Plate capacity, Nt,Rd = min(Npl,Rd,Nu,Rd)
= 594 kN
Ned/Nt,Rd = 13.17/594
= 0.022172 ≤ 1 OK
Welding Design
Weld thickness = 8 mm
Areaweld = (8*180)x4
= 5760 mm²
Normal stress due to Fx = 13.17/5760
= 0.01 kN/mm²
βw = 0.85
fu = 430 MPa
Resistance of weld = fu / βwγM2
= 430 / (0.85 x 1.25)/1000
= 0.41 kN/mm2 > 0.01 kN/mm² OK
