Lecture 10

This document discusses a lecture on analyzing built-up sections. It provides examples of common built-up sections like double angles, box sections, cover plated W-sections, and four angles. It then gives a sample problem to determine the column capacity of a double channel section under LRFD and ASD methods. The key steps show calculating the section properties like area of gross section, moments of inertia, and radius of gyration. It also determines the critical buckling stress and load using formulas from references provided. The final answers for allowable load under LRFD and ASD are given.

LECTURE 10: BUILT – UP SECTIONS

LEARNING OUTCOMES:
At the end of this lesson, the student will be able to:
1. Analyze built-up sections using LRFD and ASD methods.
2. determine the desired economical section through analytical approach.
3. develop familiarity to the use of Steel Manual and NSCP.

COVERAGE:
1. Analysis of built-up sections

OBJECTIVES:
1. To analyze structurally built-up sections using LRFD and ASD methods

BUILT-UP SECTIONS
BUILT-UP SECTIONS or built-up columns are used when the height of the column is such that a
rolled section cannot provide a sufficiently large radius of gyration. Built-up columns consist generally of two or four
shapes connected together by cover plates perforated at intervals with access holes.

COMMON BUILT-UP SECTIONS AVAILABLE IN THE MARKET

1. Double Angles

2. Box Section
a) Four angles using lacing bars

Lacing consists of connecting the components of the column by a system of generally flat plates.
(In some cases angles and channels are also used as lacings). Lacing plates may be 50 mm to 75 mm wide and
8 mm to 10 mm thick.

b) Two channels

3) Cover plated W-section

4) Four angles

PROBLEM 1. Determine the column capacity of the section shown. Column height is 10 m. Use A36 steel.
The column consists of double channel: 2C 15 x 50. The distance from back to back of the channels is 200
mm.

200 mm

Since there is no double channel in our ASEP Steel Handbook 2004, we will consider first single
channel C 15 x 50 page 138 of the handbook.

Transfer Formula

I = I + Ad2 where I = moment of inertia taken from single


member (channel)
A = cross sectional area
d = distance from the centroid of the
single section to the centroidal axis
of the built-up section

I = I + Ad2

Ix = 2 [ (168.16 x 106) + 9484 (0)2 ] the 2 is for double channel


d = 0 because it is centroid
coincides with neutral axis
Ix = 336 320 000 mm4

Iy = 2 [ (4.58 x 106) + 9484 (120.27)2 ] the 2 is for double channel


d = x + (200/2)
= 20.27 + (200/2)
= 120.27 mm
Iy = 283 529 709.20 mm4
