Compression members Rolled Universal Column design Problem Check the ability o,f a 20.7 x20.3 x 5 2 UC in grade S275 steel to withstand a design axial compressive load of 1150kN over an unsupported height of 3.6m assuming that both ends of the member are pinned. Design to BS E N 199.3-1-1. The problem is as shown in the sketch below:
Partial factors:
7/uo = 1.0; 7/ui = 1.0
LIK N A to SS E N 19931-1
Geometric properties: A = 66.3 cm2 = 66.Z0mm2; i2 = 5.18 c m = 51.8mm; ti = 12.5mm; ct/tj = 7.04; c,Jt,+ = 20.4
Material properties: Yield strength f , =275N/mm2 since ti I 1 6 m m Check cross-section class@cation under pure compression: Need only check that section is not Class 4 (slender) For outstand j a n g e cr/tie I 1 4 For web c,/t,& I42
= 0.92
275
Actual ct/tF = 7.04/0.92 = 7.62; within limit Actual c,/t,E = 20.4/0.92 = 20.2; within limit : . Section is not Class 4
