So in last lecture we have discussed the design methodology of Batten system. So in Batten
system basically first we need to find out the spacing between 2 compression members for
build-up section. Batten plates will be provided at a certain distance, then this spacing
between two Batten members is to be found and then we need to find out the dimensions of
Batten member, means Batten depth, Batten thickness and Batten length, and whether we are
going for Bolt connection or Welded connection, depending on that we have to find out the
Batten dimensions. And once Batten dimension is done, we need to check whether the Batten
is capable of carrying that much load or not.
Once that is done, if the dimensions of the Batten is okay from the strength point of view,
then we will go for design of connection. Connection of Batten I mean. So connection as I
told, connection may be 2 type, one is weld connection and another is Bolt connection, so
depending on the type of connection we will try to find out what are the type of forces are
developing, what are the type of stresses are developing. In fact, stresses will be basically
sheared stress and bending stress and also we have to find out the combine stress like
equivalent stress and then we need to see whether design is ok or not. So these are the
methodology which we have discussed.

Today we will be discussing about the bolt connection details, so let us go through the
following example.
Example: A batten column of 10-m long is carrying a factored load of 1150 kN. The column
is restrained in position but not in direction at both ends. Design a built up column using
channel sections placed back to back. Design batten plates using bolt connection.
So first part I will go very quickly and it is known to us, but we have to go through this
because we have to know the dimensions of the Batten plates and the spacing between 2
members, compression member size, unless we know that we will not be able to find out the
dimensions of Batten plates. So to find out the dimensions of the Batten plates we need to
know this, so first we will go through the calculation of the Batten plates, column dimensions
and its spacing.

Connection:
The connection should be designed to transmit both shear and bending moment.
