Lacing Design Steps

This document provides steps for designing lacing and connections for structural members. It outlines calculating the unsupported length and slenderness ratio of lacing bars. Transverse shear in the lacing is determined, along with the compressive force. The effective length, thickness, and width of lacing flats are then sized. Compressive and tensile strengths of the lacing bar are checked. Connection design includes calculating bolt forces and choosing bolt size based on bearing and shear capacities. Tie plate design involves effective depth, overall depth, thickness, and length.

DESIGN OF LACING:

Step 1: Assume single or double lacing:


a. Assume angle of inclination of lacing. It should be kept between 40 to 70. (cl. 7.6.4, IS 800:
2007, page no. 50)
b. Find unsupported length of lacing bar a1.

Step 2: Check for slenderness ratio. (cl. 7.6.4.1, IS 800: 2007, page. no.50)

Slenderness ratio = < 50

Step 3: Find transverse shear in lacing.
a. Transverse shear to be resisted Vt= 2.5% of the axial force.
b. Compressive force in lacing bars

Where, N = 2 for single lacing
= 4 for double lacing
Step 4: Design the lacing flat.

Sizing of lacing flat:


a. Find the effective length of lacing (Le). (cl. 7.6.6.3, IS 800: 2007, page. no.50)
Bolted connection: Single lacing Le = L,
Double lacing Le = 0.7 L. Where L = S cosec
Welded connection: Single and double lacing Le = 0.7 distance between inner ends of welds.

b. Find thickness of lacing flat (cl. 7.6.3, IS 800: 2007, page. no.50)
Minimum thickness of lacing flat = (1/40) Le (For single lacing)
= (1/60) Le (For double lacing)

c. Find width of lacing (cl. 7.6.2, IS 800: 2007, page. no.50)


b =3d (d= diameter of bolt)

d. Assume size of flat section based on length and thickness found in step 4 a, b, c.

Check for compressive Strength:

a. Find minimum radius of gyration of lacing bar.

Step 4: Design tie plate. (cl. 7.7.2.3, IS 800: 2007, page. no.51)
a. Effective depth = spacing + 2 Cyy (C.G.) > 2bf
b. Overall depth required = effective depth + 2 30
c. Thickness of tie plate Le = 1/50 (Spacing + 2g) , where g = gauge distance.
d. Length of tie plate = Spacing + 2 flange width.
