V.NZS3404 1997-Tube Section Compact

Verify the design capacity of a PIPX80 section per the NZS3404 1997 code.

Details

Verify the bending capacity of a PIPX80 member. Steel grade = 250 MPa. The simply supported span is 9 m with a 8.4 kN load at 5 m from the left support.

Validation

Section Classification

Evaluate the slenderness effects of the pipe member:

λ e w = OD t f y 250 = 219.1 11.8 250 250 = 18.3

Section classification is compact

Section Bending Capacity About Z-Axis

Effective Section Modulus, Zez = 508×103 mm3

The nominal section capacity in bending about Z axis, Msz = ϕfy×Zez

Msz = 250× 508×103/106 = 127 kN·m

ϕMsz = 0.9×127 = 114.3 kN·m

The pipe is symmetric, thus ϕMsy = ϕMsz

Member Bending Capacity

End restraint arrangement = LL

A twist restraint factor, Kt (SKT) = 1.00

Minor axis rotation restraints = Both

Lateral rotation restraint factor, Kr (SKR) = 1.0

Load Height factor, Kl, (LHT) = 1.00 [Ref : Table 5.6.3(2)]

Effective length = 1×1×1×9,000 = 9,000 mm

αm = 1 [Ref: Cl no -5.6.1.1 (b)]

Reference buckling moment, Mo

M o = π 2 E I y L e 2 G J + π 2 E I w L e 2 = 2,641  kN·m

αs = 1 [Ref : Clause 5.6.1.1 (c)]

Mbx = αmαsMsx ≤ Msx

Mbz = 1 × 1 × 127 = 127 kN·m ≤ (Msz, Msy)Max. [Ref : Clause 5.6.1.1.1(a)]

ϕMbz = 0.9×127 = 114.3 kN·m

Check for Shear

Section Shear Capacity (Along Y axis), Vy = 0.36×fy×Ag = 0.36×250×7,677 = 691 kN

ϕVy = 0.9×691 = 622 kN

The pipe is symmetric, thus ϕVz = ϕVy

Check for Axial Compression

Section Compression Capacity:

Gross Area, Ag = 7,677 mm2

Net Area, An = 7,677 mm2

Form factor, Kf = Ae/Ag = 1.0

The nominal member section capacity for axial compression,

Ns = Kf×An×fy = 1.0×7,677×250 = 1,919 kN [Ref : Clause 6.2.1]

ϕNs = 0.9×1,919 = 1,727 kN

Member Compression Capacity

Length of the member, L = 9,000 mm

Effective length factor for slenderness & buckling about minor Y- axis, Ky = 1.0

Effective length factor for slenderness & buckling about minor Z- axis, Kz = 1.0

Effective Length of member, Lez = 1.0×9,000 mm = 9,000 mm

Effective Length of member, Ley = 1.0×9,000 mm = 9,000 mm

ry = rz = √(41.62×106 / 7,677) = 73.63

Geometrical Slenderness Ratio = Ley/ry = Lez/rz = 9,000 / 73.63 = 122.2

Member slenderness,

λ n = L e r k f f y 250 = 122.2 1 250 250 = 122.2 [Ref : Clause 6.3.3]

αa = 2,100×(λnz - 13.5)/(λnz2 - 15.3λnz + 2,050) = 15.10

αb = -1.0 [Ref : Table 6.3.3(2)]

λ = λn + αa×αb = 107.1

η = 0.3

ξy = ξz = ((λz/90)2+ 1 + η)/(2×(λz/90)2) = 1

αcy = αcz = 0.495

The nominal member capacity,

Ncy = Ncz= αcz×Ns =0.495×1,919 = 950 kN [Ref : Clause 6.3.3]

ϕNcy = ϕNcz = 855 kN

Nominal Section tension Capacity

[Ref : Clause 7.1]

Kte = 1.00

Nt1 = Ag×fy = 7,677 × 250×10-3 = 1,919 kN

Nt2 = 0.85×Kte×An×fu = 0.85(1.0)(7,677)(250×10-3) = 1,631 kN

ϕNt = 0.9×1,919 = 1,727 kN [Ref : Clause 5.6.1.1.1(a)]

   1. (*) next to a Load Case number signifies that a P-Delta analysis has not been performed for
      that particular Load Case; i.e. analysis does not include second-order effects.
   2. ϕ = 0.9 for all the calculations [NZS3404 Table 3.4]
   3. (#) next to Young's modulus E indicates that its value is not 200000 MPa as per NZS3404 1.4.
