Q.1 A steel column in simple construction between floors of a multi-storey building is subjected to the following eccentric loadings due to beam support reactions as shown in Figure Q1. Assume the stiffnesses of the upper and the lower columns are the same.
Check the structural adequacy of class 1 steel column section 356368177kgm UC (Grade S355) if the actual column height is 6 m and the effective length of the column is 5.1 m for both axes. All the loadings shown below are factored loads. All moment factors are assumed to be 1.0 unless stated otherwise.
Given:
P=2000kN(compression) including self-weight acting at the centre of the column.
Pxt=800kN(compression) with an eccentricity ey of 190 mm measured from the y-axis, due to beam reactions.
Pyt=600kN(compression) with an eccentricity ex of 300 mm measured from the x -axis, due to beam reactions.
Py2=750kN(compression) with an eccentricity ex of 270 mm measured from the x -axis, due to beam reactions.
Moment amplification factor due to P- effect for all moments =1.1.
(a) Determine the total axial load and moment about x-x axis and moment about y-y axis acting on the steel column.
(b) Check the cross section capacity of the steel column.
(c) Check the member buckling resistances of the steel column.
