Details

Verify the bending capacity of a single L4x4x1/4. The member is used as a 6 ft simple span subject to a uniform dead load of 0.05 kip/ft and a uniform live load of 0.15 kip/ft. The vertical leg of the single angle is up with the toe in compression. The material is ASTM A36.

Validation

Note: When assigning the angle, it should be given in a beta angle as the geometrical axis and principal axis are different, and in STAAD.Pro the calculation is done with reference with the principal axis. To match the geometric axis used in AISC 360-16, a BETA angle is assigned to the member in STAAD.Pro.

The nominal flexural strength, Mn , shall be the lowest value obtained to the limit states of yielding (plastic moment), lateral-torsional buckling, and leg local buckling.

Ultimate load (for LRFD):

wux = 1.2(0.05) + 1.6(0.15) = 0.30 kip/ft

Mux = wuxL2/8 = (0.30)(6)2/8 = 1.35 kip·ft

Service level load (for ASD):

wax = 0.05 + 0.15 = 0.20 kip/ft

Max = waxL2/8 = (0.20)(6)2/8 = 0.90 kip·ft

Note: Only bending about the major axis is compared as bending due to loads is about the geometrix X-X axis.

Yielding

The nominal flexural strength in the limit state of flexural yielding is:

Mn = 1.5My = 1.5FySx Eq. F10-1

Mn = 1.5(36 ksi)(1.03 in3) = 55.6 in·kip

Lateral Torsional Buckling

For single angles bending about a geometric axis with no lateral-torsional restraint:

My = 0.8.FySx F10-2

My = 0.8(36 ksi)(1.03 in3) = 29.7 in·kip

For bending about one of the geometric axes of an equal-leg angle without axial compression, no lateral-torsional restraint, and with maximum compression in the toe:

M c r = 0.58 E b 4 t C b L b 2 1 + 0.88 L b t b 2 2 - 1 Eq. F10-5a
where
Cb
=
1.14 from AISC Manual Table 3-1.
M c r = 0.58 ( 29,000 k s i ) ( 4.0   i n ) 4 ( 0.25   i n ) ( 1.14 ) ( 6   f t   ×   12   i n / f t ) 2 1 + 0.88 ( 6   f t   ×   12   i n / f t ) ( 0.25   i n ) ( 4.0   i n ) 2 2 - 1 = 107   i n k i p s

My / Mcr = 29.7 / 107 = 0.278 < 1.0; therefore, AISC eq. F 10-2 is applicable:

M n = 1.92 - 1.17 M y M c r M y 1.5 M y Eq. F10-2
M n = 1.92 - 1.17 29.7 107 29.7 = 38.7   i n k i p < 1.5 ( 29.7 )   =   44.6   i n k i p

Leg Loca Buckling

AISC section F10.3 applies when the toe of the leg is in compression. Check the slenderness of the leg in compression:

λ = b/t = 4.0 / 0.25 = 16.0

Determine the compact and noncompact slenderness ratios from Table B4.1b, Case 12:

λ p = 0.54 E F y = 0.54 29,000 36 = 15.3
λ r = 0.91 E F y = 0.91 29,000 36 = 25.8

λp < λ < λr , therefore the leg is noncompact in flexure.

Sc = 0.80Sx = 0.80 (1.03 in3) = 0.824 in3

M n = F y S c 2.43 - 1.72 b t F y E Eq. F10-6
M n = ( 36 ) ( 0.824 ) 2.43 - 1.72 16 36 29,000 = 43.3   i n k i p

Available Flexural Strength

The lateral-torsional buckling limit state governs.

Mn = 38.7 in·kip = 3.23 ft·kip

LRFD

ϕb = 0.90

ϕbMn = 0.90(3.23) = 2.91 ft-kip > 1.35 kip·ft

ASD

Ωb = 1.67

Mnb = 3.23/1.67 = 1.93 ft-kip > 0.90 kip·ft

 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.

    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.

 *** 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.
