V. AISC 360-16 I Tension LRFD

To verify the tensile yield strength of an I section using the LRFD method from the AISC 360-16 code.

Reference

  1. Steel Construction Manual, 15th Edition, American Institute of Steel Construction, 2017

Details

Verify the tensile yield and tensile rupture strength of an I section (W8X21) using the LRFD method. The material is A992 (Fy = 50 ksi, Fu = 65 ksi)

The area of the bolt holes is assumed to be zero. A known shear lag factor of 0.908 is directly specified.

The length of the member is 25 ft. It is loaded axial in tension with a dead load of 30 kips and a live load of 90 kips.

Validation

The factored axial load, Pu = 1.2×30 + 1.6×90 = 180 kips

Tensile Yield Strength

The tensile yield strength: ϕtYPnY = ϕtY×Fy×Ag = 0.9×50×6.16 = 277.2 kips

Ratio for yield strength: 0.649

Tensile Rupture Strength

For this example, An is assumed equal to Ag .

Effective area, Ae = An×U = 6.16×0.908 = 5.593 in2

The tensile rupture strength = ϕtRPnR = ϕtR×Fu×Ae = 0.75×65×5.593 = 272.672 kips

Ratio for rupture strength: 0.660

 *** AXIS CONVENTION ***:
 ========================
 The capacity results and intermediate results in the report follow the notations
 and axes labels as defined in the AISC 360-16 code.
 The analysis results are reported in STAAD.Pro axis convention and the AISC 360:16
 design results are reported in AISC 360-16 code axis convention.

 *** DESIGN MESSAGES ***:
 =======================
    1. Section classification reported is for the cross section and loadcase that
       produced the worst case design ratio for flexure/compression Capacity results.     
    2. Results for any Capacity/Check that is not relevant for a section/loadcase
       based on the code clause in AISC 360-16 will not be shown in the report.     
    3. Bending results are reported as being �about� the relevant axis (X/Y), while 
       the results for shear are reported as being for shear forces �along� the axis.
       E.g : Mx indicates bending about the X axis, while Vx indicates shear along
       the X axis.
