Answer to Problem 10.7.8P

12×107web and 112×26flanges

Four panels spaced at 58.25in.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Span length =100ft

Uniformly distributed live load =0.7 kips/ft

Superimposed dead load =0.3 kips/ft

Concentrated dead load = 50 kips

Concentrated live load =150 kips

A572 Grade 50 steel

Formula used:

Af=Mu/ϕbhFyAw6

Mu/ϕb is required nominal flexural strength

Aw is web area

Af is flange area

h is the depth of web

Calculation:

Assume a girder weight of 450 lb/ft.

Determine the factored loads:

wu=1.2wD+1.6wL

wD is uniformly distributed dead load

wL is uniformly distributed live load

wu=1.2wD+1.6wL=1.2(0.3)+1.6(0.7)=1.48kips/ft

Pu=1.2PD+1.6PL

PD is concentrated dead load

PL is concentrated live load

Pu=1.2PD+1.6PL=1.2(50)+1.6(150)=300kips

The factored moment and shear are

Mu=524(50)1.48(5022)300(25)=16850ftkipsVu=VL=524kips

Determine the overall depth:

Spanlength10=100(12)10=120in.Spanlength12=100(12)12=100in.

Use the maximum permissible depth of 110 in.

Try tf=1.5in.

h=1102(1.5)=107in.

To determine the web thickness, first examine the limiting values of htw.

For ah1.5,

(htw)max=12.0EFy=12.02900050=288.998

Minimum tw=107288.998=0.370in.

For ah>1.5,

(htw)max=0.40(EFy)=0.40(2900050)=232

Minimum tw=107232=0.46in.

Try a 12in.×107in. web.

Aw=0.5(107)=53.5in.2

Determine whether the web is slender:

htw=1070.5=214

5.70EFy=5.702900050=137.274<214

Therefore, the web is slender.

Estimate required flange size:

Af=Mu0.9hFyAw6=16850(12)0.9(107)(50)53.56=33.077in.2bf33.0771.5=22.05in.

Try a 112in.×26in. flange,

Af=1.5×26=39in.2

Girder weight = [53.5+2(39)](0.490144)=0.447kips<ft<0.450kips/ft (OK)

Ix=twh312+2Af(h+tf2)2=0.5(107)312+2(39)(107+1.52)2=280602.33in.4Sx=Ixc=Ix(h/2+tf)=280602.33(107/2+1.5)=5101.86in.3

Compression flange:

Check flange local buckling (FLB):

λ=bf2tf=262(1.5)=8.67λp=0.38EFy=0.382900050=9.15

Since λ<λp, Fcr=Fy=50ksi

Compute the plate girder strength reduction factor:

Rpg=1aw1200+300aw(hctw5.7EFy)1.0aw=hctwbfctfc=107(0.5)26(1.5)=1.37<10Rpg=11.371200+300(1.37)(1070.55.72900050)=0.935<1.0Mn=RpgFcrSxc=0.935(50)(5101.86)=238448.716in.kips

ϕbMn=0.90(238448.716)12=17883.654ftkips>16850ftkips (OK)

Try a 12×107 web and 112×26 flanges.

Shear: At left end (end panel),

Required ϕvVnAw=52453.5=9.8ksi,

htw=214

From Table 3-17a in the Manual, ah0.623 by interpolation

a=0.623h=0.65(107)=66.7in.

Use a=67in.

This spacing will apply for the remaining distance to the centerline of the girder. This distance is

25×1267=233in.

For a spacing a of 67 in., the number of panels is 23367=3.5

Use 4 panels at 2334=58.25in.

At 100/4=25ft from the left end (to the right of the concentrated load),

Vu=5241.48(25)300=187kips

Required ϕvVnAw=18753.5=3.5ksi,

For ah=25×12107=2.8,ϕvVnAw<3

Therefore, stiffeners are needed in middle 14.

Conclusion:

Therefore, Use a 12×107 web and 112×26 flanges and four panels spaced at 58.25in.

Answer to Problem 10.7.8P

2 PL 12×6×8'8''for intermediate stiffeners

2 PL 58×8with 1-in. cutouts for bearing stiffeners

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Span length =100ft

Uniformly distributed live load =0.7 kips/ft

Superimposed dead load =0.3 kips/ft

Concentrated dead load = 50 kips

Concentrated live load =150 kips

A572 Grade 50 steel

Calculation:

Intermediate stiffener size:

(bt)st0.56EFy

Available width:

bftw2=260.52=12.75in.

Try b=6in.

tb0.56EFy=60.562900050=0.4449

To determine the required moment of inertia, use the conservative approximation from the User Note in AISC G2.3:

Ist=Ist1Ist=h4ρst1.340(FywE)1.5ρst=max{Fyw/Fyw1}=1Ist=(107)4(1)1.340(5029000)1.5=234.603in.4

Try two 12×6 plates:

Ist(3/8)(6+0.5+6)312=61in.4

Length: From Figure 10.9 in the textbook (Steel design),

Steel Design (Activate Learning with these NEW titles from Engineering!), Chapter 10, Problem 10.7.8P

c4tw=4(0.5)=2in.c6tw=6(0.5)=3in.

Assume a flange-to-web weld size of w=316in. (minimum size) and c=3in.

Length = hwc=1073163=103.8in.

c=107104316=2.8125in. (OK)

Use two PL 12×6×8'8'' for intermediate stiffeners.

Design the bearing stiffeners at the supports for a load of VL=524kips

Maximum stiffener width = bftw2=260.52=12.75in.

Try b=8in.

tb0.56EFy=80.562900050=0.593in.

Try two plates, 58×8in., with 1-in. cutouts.

Bearing strength:

Apb=(81)(58)×2=8.75in.2Rn=1.8FyApb=1.8(50)(8.75)=787.5kips

ϕRn=0.75(787.5)=590.6kips>VL=524kips (OK)

Compressive strength: The maximum permissible length of web is

12tw=12(0.5)=6in.

Compute the radius of gyration about an axis along the middle of the web:

I=6(0.5)312+2[(5/8)8312+8(58)(4+14)2]=234in.4A=6(0.5)+2(8)(58)=13in.2r=IA=23413=4.243in.

Compute the compressive strength:

KLr=0.75(107)4.243=18.9<25

Therefore, Fcr=Fy=50ksi

ϕcPn=0.90FcrAg=0.90(50)(13)=585kips>524kips (OK)

Use 2 PL 58×8 with 1-in. cutouts for bearing stiffeners at the supports.

Because there is a large difference between the reactions and the interior concentrated loads, use 2 PL 58×8 with 1-in. cutouts for the interior bearing stiffeners.

Conclusion:

Use two PL 12×6×8'8'' for intermediate stiffeners,two PL 58×8 with 1-in. cutouts for bearing stiffeners at the supports and two PL 58×8 with 1-in. cutouts for the interiorbearing stiffeners.

Answer to Problem 10.7.8P

316in. continuous fillet welds for the first20ft

316in.×112in.E70 fillet welds spaced at 3 in. c-c for the intermediate stiffeners

316in.×112in.E70 fillet welds spaced at 5 in. c-c for bearing stiffener at support and at interior portion.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Span length =100ft

Uniformly distributed live load =0.7 kips/ft

Superimposed dead load =0.3 kips/ft

Concentrated dead load = 50 kips

Concentrated live load =150 kips

A572 Grade 50 steel

Calculation:

Design the flange-to-web welds.

The shear flow is

Q=Af(h2+tf2)=(1.5×26)(1072+1.52)=2115.75in.3

At the support,

VuQIx=524(2115.75)280602.33=3.95kips/in.

Minimum weld size = 3/16 in. (AISC Table J2.4)

Minimum length = 4(316)=0.75in.<1.5in.

Use 1.5 in.

Use E70 electrodes, ϕRn=1.392D kips/in.

where D is weld size in sixteenths.

Try an 316in.×112in. intermittent fillet welds.

For two welds,

Weld strength = 2×1.392(3)=8.352kips/in.

Base metal shear yield strength (web plate controls) is

0.4Fyt=0.4(50)(12)=10kips/in.

Shear rupture strength is

0.3Fut=0.3(65)(12)=9.75kips/in.

Weld strength controls.

For a 1.5-in. length,

ϕRn=1.5(8.352)=12.53kips

Required spacing:

ϕRns=VuQIx12.53s=3.95s=3.172in.

Since this is less than twice the length of the weld, use a continuous weld.

For s=2(1.5)=3in.

Vu=ϕRnIxsQ=12.53×280602.333(2115.75)=553.932kips

This occurs when 5241.48x=553.93x=20.22ft

Maximum clear spacing: From AISC E6,

d0.75EFytf=0.752900050(1.5)=27.1in. (or 12 in.; 12 in. controls.)

Maximum s=12+1.5=13.5in.

For s=13.5in.,

ϕRns=VuQIx12.5313.5=Vu(2115.75)280602.33Vu=123.096kips

Shear at first interior load, left of load, = 5241.48(25)=487kips

So maximum spacing will not be used in the first quarter of the span.

Spacing required at left side of first interior load is

ϕRnIxVuQ=12.53(280602.33)487(2115.75)=3.4123in.

Check middle fourth of span. Shear on right side of load is

487300=187kips

s=ϕRnIxVuQ=12.53(280602.33)187(2115.75)=8.8866in.<13.5in. (OK)

Welds for intermediate stiffeners (12×6) :

Minimum weld size = 3/16in. (AISC Table J2.4)

Minimum length = 4(316)=0.75in.<1.5in.

Use 1.5 in.

Use E70 electrodes, ϕRn=1.392Dkips/in.

where D is weld size in sixteenths.

Try 316in.×112in. intermittent fillet welds.

For four welds, the weld strength is

4×1.392(3)=16.7kips/in.

The base metal shear yield strength is

0.6Fyt=0.6(50)(12)×2=30kips/in.

Shear rupture strength is

0.45Fut=0.45(65)(12)×2=29.25kips/in.

Weld strength controls.

For a 1.5-in. length,

ϕRn=1.5(16.7)=25.05kips

The shear to be transferred is

f=0.045hFy3E=0.045(107)(50)329000=9.9966kips/in.25.05s=9.9966s=2.506in.

A center-to-center spacing of 3 in. is equal to twice the length of the weld segment, so

either a continuous weld or an intermittent weld can be used. Use intermittent welds.

Maximum clear spacing: From AISC E6,

d0.75EFytf=0.752900050(1.5)=27.1in. (or 12 in.; 12 in.; controls.)

Maximum s=12+1.5=13.5in.

Use 316in.×112in. E70 fillet welds spaced at 3 in. c-c for the intermediate stiffeners.

Welds for bearing stiffeners at the supports (58×8) :

Minimum weld size = 3/16in. (AISC Table J2.4)

Minimum length = 4(316)=0.75in.<1.5in.

Use 1.5 in.

Use E70 electrodes, ϕRn=1.392Dkips/in.

where D is weld size in sixteenths.

Try 316in.×112in. intermittent fillet welds.

For four welds, the weld strength is

4×1.392(3)=16.7kips/in.

The base metal shear yield strength is

0.6Fyt=0.6(50)(12)×2=30kips/in.

Shear rupture strength is

0.45Fut=0.45(65)(12)×2=29.25kips/in.

Weld strength controls.

For a 1.5-in. length,

ϕRn=1.5(16.7)=25.05kips

The shear to be transferred is

Reaction ÷ length available for weld = 5241072(1.0)=4.99kips/in.

25.05s=4.99s=5.02in.

Use 316in.×112in. E70 fillet welds spaced at 5 in. c-c for bearing stiffener at support and at interior portion.

Conclusion:

Use 3/16 in. continuous fillet welds for the first 20 ft, 316in.×112in. E70 fillet welds spaced at 3 in. c-c for the intermediate stiffeners and 316in.×112in. E70 fillet welds spaced at 5 in. c-c for bearing stiffener at support and at interior portion.
