The document discusses the analysis and design of columns and rafters for a structure.

Columns and rafters were analyzed.

British Standard BS 5950-1:2000 was referenced for the column and rafter design.

Maximum moment at eave:
Mz = 214.54 kNm.
Fy = 90.9 kN.
Mz = 217.24 kNm.
Fx= 66.9 kN.
1) Column Design
Try 457 x 152 UB 60 , Grade 275, uniform throughout:
A= 75.9 cm2 u= 0.869
rx = 18.3 cm x= 37.5
ry = 3.23 cm 1120 cm3
Sx = 1280 cm3
Actual length of rafter, LR = 10.77 m
Actual length of column, LC = 6.00 m
Second moment of area of column, IC = 25500 cm4 = 0.000255 m4
Second moment of area of column, IR = 25500 cm5 = 0.000255 m4
Compressive resistance - Applied load, F = 90.9 kN

In-plane slenderness
Fraser's formula
kc = LE / LC = 2 + 0.45GR where GR = LR x IC / LC
GR = 3.59 3.59 28600
kc = LE / LC = 3.62
Using Figure E2, BS 5950-1: 2000;
k1 = IC/LC / ((IC / LC) + (IR / LR))

Column base:
k2 = 1.0 for pinned base
k2 = 0.5 for fixed base

k1 = 0.782
k2 = 1.0

Then LE / LC for the column is read from Figure E2 of BS 5950-1: 2000


LE / LC = 3.5

Slenderness LE / rx = 118.54

Out-of-plane slenderness with restraint at the mid-height of the column:

Slenderness, l = Ley / ry = 92.88


Choose the maximum of slenderness and look-up for the compressive strength in
Table 24 of BS 5950-1: 2000.

Equivalent moment factor, mLT = 0.8
Slenderness factor for l / x = 2.48

Compute for n from clause 4.3.6.7 BS 5950-1:2000


for an I-, H- or channel section with equal flanges:
n = 1/[1+0.05(l/x)^2]^0.25 = 0.935

Equivalent slenderness, lLT = 75.49
