NCCI: Design of a notched section at the end of a beam


This NCCI provides the rules for checking the resistance of a beam section notched near the support. The rules are limited to beams of symmetrical I section with one or both flanges notched at the end to facilitate its attachment to a support. The support is usually a beam web but may be the web of a column.

Introduction

Figure 1.1 shows three types of notched beam connections commonly used: bolted double angle web cleats, a flexible endplate plate and a fin plate. When the height of the supporting beam is not sufficiently greater than that of the supported beam, a double notch is required.

Design model

Depending on the support conditions (one-sided or two sided joints, rigidity of the support and of the connecting elements, height of the connection, etc.) it is known that some end moments may exist in such types of connections. By adopting a connection design which ensures adequate rotational flexibility and ductile behaviour (see SN017 for example) the end moments can be kept to such a small order that they can be neglected in design.

On the latter basis one can assume that the support conditions satisfy the pinned joint classification criteria so that for design the sole reaction is simple shear at the support. The support point can be assumed to be at the face of the supporting element. The notched section (see Figure 2.1) is checked for combined bending and shear using the relevant sections of EN 1993-1-1. For the latter design check, one uses the maximum bending moment in the notch which occurs at the beginning of the notch at a distance of en from the support point. Taking VEd as the shear force at the support, the maximum moment in the notch is then given by: Mn,Ed = VEd en (1)

Notched section dimensions

A typical notched section is shown in Figure 2.1. Assuming the flanges of both beams are at the same level, for a hot rolled section the depth of the top notch dnt must not be less than the flange thickness plus the root radius of the supporting beam. The notch length ln must be sufficient to avoid contact with the flange of the supporting beam.

Notched section properties


Beam with a single notch

Taking A and I as the cross-sectional area and second moment of area of the full beam section respectively, the sectional properties of the notched section (section A-A, Figure 2.1 a)) can approximately be taken as follows: Cross-sectional area An = A bf tf - (dnt - tf) tw Distance of centroid from the beam top 2 2 0,5hA 0,5tf (bf tf ) 0,5(d nt tf )t w zn = An Second moment of area In = I + A (zn - h/2) (bf tf) (zn - tf/2) (dnt - tf)tw (zn - dnt/2 - tf/2) - (dnt - tf)3tw/12 Elastic modulus In Wel, n = zn d nt Shear area for a T section Av,n = 0,9(An bf tf) (EN 1993-1-1 6.2.6 c))

Beam with a double notch

In this case the section to be checked is rectangular (section B-B, Figure 2.1 b)), for which the section properties are as follows: Cross-sectional Area Elastic modulus Shear area for a plate section An = (h - dnt - dnb) tw t (h d nt d nb ) 2 Wel, n = w 6 Av,n = 0,9An
