Structural loads, structural analysis

and structural design are simply


explained with the worked example
for easiness of understanding.
Element designs with notes and
discussions have added to get
comprehensive knowledge. Also,

Single Angle Section Design


Worked Example
BY PRASAD ·

Share

Single angle section design using EN 1993-1-1 is


discussed in this article by a worked example.
Angle section subject to compressive force is
designed with referring relevant section in the
code.

The design procedure of the compression


members is the same as discussed in the article
Steel Column Design using Eurocode 3.

Let’s discuss the design with a worked example.

Desing Data

Angle section 60x60x6


Lenght of the angle section 600mm
Applied Load 100kN
Single raw of bolts
Steel grade S275

Classification of the Sections

Let’s find the material data

Thickness of section = 6 mm ≤ 40 mm and

Steel grade S275

From Table 3.1 of EN 1993-1-1,

fy = 275 N/mm2

From Table 5.2 (sheet 3 of 3)

ε = √(235/fy) = √(235/275) = 0.924

From Table 5.2 (sheet 3 of 3)

h/t = 60 / 6 = 10 ≤ 15ε = 15 x 0.924 = 13.86

(b+h) / 2t = (60+60) / (2×6) = 10 ≤ 11.5ε = 11.5 x


0.924 = 10.626

Therefore, section is class 3

Compression Capacity of Cross Section

N EEdd / N cc,,RRdd ≤ 1.0

Nc,Rd = Afy / γM0

γM0 = 1.0 from Clause 6.1

A = 695 mm2

Nc,Rd = Afy / γM0 = 695 x 275 / 1.0 = 191.1 kN

N EEdd / N cc,,RRdd = 100 / 191.1 = 0.524 < 1

Section satisfy the compression capacity.

Buckling Resistance

N EEdd / N bb,,RRdd ≤ 1.0

Calculate the buckling length, Lcr

We need to check the buckling resistance in the


critical axis. Therefore, we consider axis Y-Y, Z-Z, and
V-V and find the critical reduction factor(less the
value higher the reduction in the bending moment.
This is a must in angle section design.

Find the buckling length in each axis. Buckling


length may be considered as specified in the BS
5950.

Y-Y axis; 0.85 x 600 = 510 mm

Z-Z axis; 1.0 x 600 = 600 mm

V-V axis; 0.85 x 600 = 510 mm

From section property data, obtain the radius of


gyration (i)

i – Y-Y axis = 18.3 mm

i – Z-Z axis = 18.3 mm

i- V-V axis = 11.8 mm

λ1 = 93.9ε = 93.9 x 0.924 = 86.4

λ‾ = (Lcr / i)( 1 / λ1)

Note: the symbol λ¯ shall be as indicated in the


code. There is a slight difference in the symbol
when compared with the code.

Calculate for each direction to obtain the critical


factor.

λ‾ Y-Y axis = (510 / 18.5)( 1 / 86.4) = 0.323

λ‾ Z-Z axis = (600 / 18.5)( 1 / 86.4) = 0.379

λ‾ V-V axis = (510 / 11.8)( 1 / 86.4) = 0.5

When the single angle section design the


connection is made by a single bolt, λ¯eff shall be

considered. If there are two or more bolts,


eccentricities may neglect.

In this example, consider the angle connected


through one leg. Therefore, consider, λ¯eff

Y-Y axis; λ¯eff = 0.5 + 0.7λ‾ = 0.5 + 0.7×0.323 =

0.726

Z-Z axis; λ¯eff = 0.5 + 0.7λ‾ = 0.5 + 0.7×0.379 =

0.765

V-V axis; λ¯eff = 0.35 + 0.7λ‾ = 0.35 0.7×0.5 = 0.7

The critical reduction factor is the less value of “χ”.


This value become lesser when Ø is larger. This
value becomes larager when is λ¯eff higher.

Therefore, we select

λ¯eff = 0.765

Now obtain Buckling curve from Table 6.2 of EN


1993-1-1.

For angle sections, the buckling curve is ” b “.

Obtain α from Table 6.1 of EN 1993-1-1.

α = 0.34

Now calculate Ø from Cl. 6.3.1.2


Ø = 0.5[ 1 + 0.34(λ¯0.2 ) + λ¯2] = 0.5 [ 1 + 0.34
(0.765 – 0.2) + 0.7652] = 0.889

Calcualte reduction factor, χ

χ = 1 / [ Ø + √(Ø2 – λ¯2) ] = 1 / [ 0.889 + √( 0.8892 +


0.7652)] = 0.742

Now calculate the buckling resitance

Nb,Rd = χAfy / γM1

Nb,Rd = 0.742 x 695 x 275 / 1.0 = 141.8 kN

NEd / Nb,Rd < 1.0

NEd / Nb,Rd = 100 / 141.8 = 0.7 < 1

Section is adequate.
