V. IS 800 2007 - LSD Rod Compression and Bending

Verify the program-calculated design results for a 3 m long cantilever beam, subjected to axial compression and biaxial bending. The beam section used is a 50 mm diameter steel rod and is designed as per IS 800:2007.

Details

The 3 m cantilever section is subject to a 10 kN axial compression load at the free end as well as 1 kN/m uniform loads along the length in both the “major” and “minor” axes. The cantilever is assumed to be laterally supported.

The steel yield stress is fy = 250 MPa, the specified minimum tensile strength is Fu = 420 MPa, and the modulus of elasticity is E = 205(10)3 MPa

Partial Safety Factors

Partial safety factor for failure in tension by yielding (per Table 5 of IS:800 2007), γm0 = 1.1.

Partial safety factor for failure at ultimate stress (per Table 5 of IS:800 2007), γm1 = 1.25.

Section Classification

Although Table 2 of IS800:2007 does not specify the classification for solid rod sections, the width to thickness ratio for a solid rod is 1.0. Hence, it is a Class 1 section (Plastic).

Check Slenderness Ratio

Ky = Kz = 1

The allowable slenderness ratio is 180.

Section fails in slenderness.

Check Axial Tension

The design strength in tension (or compression) due to yielding (per Section 6),

Assume that Anet = Ag and ɑ = 0.8, the design strength in rupture of critical section, É‘

Check Axial Compression

Per Section 7 of IS: 800-2007

Euler buckling stress,

Non-dimensional effective slenderness ratio,

The imperfection factor given in Table 7; for buckling class (as per Table 10 for solid sections), ɑ = 0.49.

É‘

The design compressive stress,

(Cl. 7.1.2.1)

The design compressive strength,

Design ratio in compression: (for both local z and y axes)

Check for Shear

Per Cl 8.4 and 8.4.1 of IS: 800-2007

Per Cl. 8.4.1.1, the shear area is taken as the gross area of the solid round section; Av = Ag = 19.6 cm2 .

The shear force used for design is taken as the resultant SRSS combination of the “major” and “minor” axes:

The plastic under pure shear is taken as the nominal shear strength,

Design ratio in shear:

Check for Bending

Per Section 8 of IS: 800-2007

The bending moment used for design is taken as the resultant SRSS combination of the “major” and “minor” axes:

This is used as the “major” axis bending moment and the “minor” axis bending moment is taken as zero.

When V < 0.6Vd on a cantilever beam, then the design bending strength is taken as:

where

βb
=
1
Design ratio in bending:

Check for Combined Axial Force

Check the reduced flexural strength under combined axial force and the respective uniaxial moment acting alone (Cl. 9.3.1.2).

The ratio for the compression yielding is

Use Md = 4.186 kN·m.

The combined bending ratio is taken as:

É‘ É‘

where

ɑ1
=
1
ɑ2
=
1

Check for Combined Axial Force and Bending Moment

Per Cl 9.3.2.2 of IS: 800-2007
