4 Steel Design 2

The document discusses tension and compression members in steel design. It defines tension members as structural members subjected to tensile axial loads and compression members as members that carry loads in compression, often with bending moments. It describes different types of tension members and categories of compression members. The document also discusses columns, noting they are susceptible to buckling due to axial loads and defines equations to calculate the allowable axial stress in intermediate and long columns based on factors like length, radius of gyration, and modulus of elasticity. It provides values for the effective length factor K depending on end conditions and gives a sample problem to calculate column axial capacity.

STEEL DESIGN 2
GERALD RICKSON R. BERNARDINO, CE, RMP, SO2
OBJECTIVES
• To define the steel tension and compression members;

• To learn how to design steel columns;

• To learn how to calculate allowable axial load and


capacity of the column.
P

TENSION MEMBER:

• structural member
subjected to tensile
axial load
P
TENSION MEMBERS

• are primarily subjected to tension force acting through


the centroid of the cross section

• found in steel trusses, bracing systems and cable


supported structures such as cable stayed and
suspension bridges
TENSION MEMBERS

TENSION MEMBERS

Tension members can be divided into the following categories:

• Single-shape and built-up members


• Pin-connected members
• Eye-bars
• Threaded rods
• Connecting elements in tension

COMPRESSION MEMBER:

• structural member

load

P
COMPRESSION MEMBERS

• are members that carry loads in compression

• usually, they carry bending moments as well about one


or both axes of the cross section

COMPRESSION MEMBERS

Steel axially loaded compression members are


usually made of rolled shapes, cold-formed HSS,
or built-up sections and are divided into five
categories as shown:
COMPRESSION MEMBERS
COLUMN

Prevailing design load is axial and failure may be


initiated by:
• overstressing of the material
• buckling about the weak axis

For this reason, the equation that determine the


allowable stress of the columns is express in terms
of the length and radius of gyration.
COLUMN

FOR INTERMEDIATE COLUMN

where:
Fa = allowable axial stress
L = height of column
K = effective length factor
r = radius of gyration
E = modulus of elasticity
COLUMN

FOR LONG COLUMN

where:
Fa = allowable axial stress
L = height of column
K = effective length factor
r = radius of gyration
E = modulus of elasticity
COLUMN

VALUES OF K:

One end fixed, other end free Both ends hinged


COLUMN

VALUES OF K:

One end fixed, other end pinned Both ends fixed


SAMPLE PROBLEM
Calculate the axial capacity of the column shown if L = 3m
Use: Fy = 248 MPa
INA = 1.20x106 mm4
A = 1550 mm2
