V. AISC 360-16 Tapered Tube Section

Verify the axial compression capacity, flexure capacity, and interaction ratio of a tapered tube section member per both the LRFD and ASD methods of the AISC 360-16 code.

Details

A 5' × 5' portal frame consists of W12x72 columns and a steel tapered member for the beam.

The following load cases are evaluated:
  1. A uniformly distributed load of -2.25 k/in along the beam in the global Y direction.
  2. Lateral loads at the top of the left column of 50 kips in the global X direction and 25 kips in the global Z direction (out of plane).
  3. A concreted torque of 0.75 in·kips at mid-span of the beam.
Material Properties
  • E = 29,000 ksi
  • Fy = 50 ksi

Validation

Design Forces

By inspection, the right end of the beam (shallowest overall depth) governs under the symmetric loads present. The following design loads are used from the STAAD.Pro analysis are then used:
  • Mz = 505.66 in·kips
  • Fy = 67.2 kips
  • Fx = 10.23 kips

Section Properties

The section at the right end (OD = 10 in.) has the following properties:

  • Inner diameter, ID = 9 in.
  • Area, Ag = (π/4)(OD2 - ID2) = 14.92 in2
  • Form factor = 0.49 + 0.8 (t / OD) = 0.53
  • Shear area, Ay = 14.92(0.53) = 7.909 in2
  • Moment of inertia,
    I = π 64 ( OD 4 - ID 4 ) = 168.8  in 4
  • Elastic section modulus, S = π 32 ( OD 4 - ID 4 OD ) = 33.76  in 3
  • Radius of gyration, r = I A g = 168.8 14.92 = 3.363  in
  • Plastic section modulus, Z = OD 3 - ID 3 6 = 45.17  in 3
  • HSS Torsional constant, C = π 2 ( OD - t ) 2 t = 70.88  in 3

Section Classification

Flange in compression

λ = OD t = 10 0.5 = 20

Per Table B4.1a, Case 9, λ < λ r = 0.11 E F y = 63.8 , therefore flanges are non-slender for compression. The web is similarly non-slender for compression.

Flange in bending (use half the longer flange width as the outstanding width):

λ = OD t = 10 0.5 = 20

Per Table B4.1b, Case20, λ < λ r = 0.07 E F y = 40.6 , therefore flange is compact for bending.

Compression Capacity

k L r = 1.0 ( 60 ) 3.363 = 17.84 < 4.71 E F y = 4.71 29 , 000 50 = 113.4
F e = π 2 E ( k L r ) 2 = π 2 × 29,000 ( 17.84 ) 2 = 899.4  ksi (Eq. E3-4)
F y F e = 50 899.4 = 0.056 < 2.25
F crx = 0.658 F y F e F y = 0.658 ( 0.056 ) 50 = 48.85  ksi (Eq. E3-2)

Pn = Ag× Fcr = 14.92 × 48.85 = 729.0 kips (Eq. E3-1)

The axial capacity:
  • The ultimate compression capacity (LRFD) = ϕcPn = 0.9 × 729.0 = 656.1 kips
  • The allowable compression capacity (ASD) = Pnc = 729.0 / 1.67 = 436.5 kips

Shear Capacity

The distance from the maximum shear force (ends) to zero shear force (mid-span), Lv = L / 2 = 30 in.

The critical shear stress, Fcr, is the minimum of:

F cr1 = 1.60 E L v OD ( OD t ) 5 4 = 633.4  ksi
F cr2 = 0.78 E ( OD t ) 3 2 = 252.9  ksi
F cr3 = 0.6 F y = 30  ksi

Fcr = 30 ksi

Nominal shear capacity:

V n = F cr A g 2 = 223.8  kips
The shear capacity:
  • The ultimate shear capacity (LRFD) = ϕcVn = 0.9 × 223.8 = 201.5 kips
  • The allowable shear capacity (ASD) = Vnc = 223.8 / 1.67 = 134.0 kips

Calculate Bending Capacity

Bending capacity in plastic yielding:

Mp = Fy × Z = 50 × 45.17 = 2,259 in·kips < 1.6Fy × S = 1.6 (50) (33.76) = 2,701 in·kips

The bending capacity for flexural yielding:
  • The ultimate bending capacity (LRFD) = ϕbMy = 0.9 × 2,259 = 2,033 in·kips
  • The allowable bending capacity (ASD) = Myb = 2,259 / 1.67 = 1,352 in·kips

Torsional Capacity

The critical stress, Fcr, is the larger of:

F cr1 = 1.23 E L OD ( OD t ) 5 4 = 344.3  ksi
F cr2 = 1.23 E ( OD t ) 3 2 = 194.5  ksi

But shall not exceed:

F cr3 = 0.6 F y = 30  ksi

Fcr = 30 ksi

Nominal torsional capacity:

T n = F cr C = 2,126  in·kips
The torsional capacity:
  • The ultimate torsional capacity (LRFD) = ϕcTn = 0.9 × 2,126 = 1,914 kips
  • The allowable torsional capacity (ASD) = Tnc = 2,126 / 1.67 = 1,273 kips

Interaction Ratio for Bending and Compression

Check the interaction ratio for Load Case 1:

P r P c = 10.23 656.1 = 0.016 < 0.2  (LRFD)
P r P c = 10.23 436.5 = 0.023 < 0.2  (ASD)

So use Eq. H1-1b for both methods: P r 2 P c + ( M r x M c x + M r y M c y ) 1.0 .

0.016 2 + ( 505.7 2,033 + 0 2,033 ) = 0.257  (LRFD)
0.023 2 + ( 505.7 1,352 + 0 1,352 ) = 0.386  (ASD)

 ***NOTE : AISC 360-16 Design Statement for STAAD.Pro.
 *** 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.
   AISC Spec.      STAAD.Pro      Description
  ------------    -----------     -------------
       X               Z          Axis typically parallel to the sections principal major axis.
       Y               Y          Axis typically parallel to the sections principal minor axis.
       Z               X          Longitudinal axis perpendicular to the cross section.

  ------------    -----------     -------------
       Pz              FX         Axial force.
       Vy              FY         Shear force along minor axis.
       Vx              FZ         Shear force along major axis.
       Tz              MX         Torsional moment.
       My              MY         Bending moment about minor axis.
       Mx              MZ         Bending moment about major 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.

 ***NOTE : AISC 360-16 Design Statement for STAAD.Pro.
 *** 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.
   AISC Spec.      STAAD.Pro      Description
  ------------    -----------     -------------
       X               Z          Axis typically parallel to the sections principal major axis.
       Y               Y          Axis typically parallel to the sections principal minor axis.
       Z               X          Longitudinal axis perpendicular to the cross section.

  ------------    -----------     -------------
       Pz              FX         Axial force.
       Vy              FY         Shear force along minor axis.
       Vx              FZ         Shear force along major axis.
       Tz              MX         Torsional moment.
       My              MY         Bending moment about minor axis.
       Mx              MZ         Bending moment about major 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.
