V. ASME NF 3000 2004 Tee
Verify the design of a pipe section used for a beam member per the ASME NF 3000 2004 code.
Details
A cantilever beam is 60 in long. The beam is loaded at the free end with a 2 kip load and a uniform load of 1 kip/in along the entire length.
The member is a WT18x67.5 section with Grade A36 steel.
Validation
Maximum shear force (at support) = V = wL + P = (1 kip/in) × 60 in + 2 kip = 62 kips
Maximum moment (at support) = M = 0.5×w×L2 + P×L = 0.5 (1 kip/in)×(60 in)2 + (2 kip)×(60 in) = 1,920 in·kips
Slenderness Ratio
Slenderness Ratio along Z-Axis = (KL/r)z = 21.22
Slenderness Ratio along Y-Axis = (KL/r)y = 50.53
Maximum Slenderness Ratio = 50.53 < 300
Bending
Allowable Bending Stress About Major Axis (Z Axis)
bf/2tf = 4.65 > 65/√(FY) = 10.833
d/tw = 28.3 < 640/√(FY) = 106.67
Thus allowable bending stress is obtained by treating the section as compact.
Fb = 0.66×FY = 23.8 ksi
Actual Bending Stress
Bending Tensile Stress = fbtz =(Mz/Iz)×Ybar = 14.93 ksi < 23.8 ksi
Bending Compressive Stress = fbcz = 38.7 ksi > 23.8 ksi
Critical stress ratio = 38.7 ksi / 23.8 ksi = 1.626
Shear
Allowable Shear Stress
a = clear distance between transverse stiffeners (here taken as length) = 60 in
h = clear distance flanges of the girder = D-tf = 17.01 in
Thus, a/h = 3.527 Therefore, k = 5.34 + [4.00/ (a/h)2] = 5.65
t = tw = 0.44 inch
If Cv > 0.8, Cv = [190/(h/t)]√(k/Sy)= 78.4 which is true. Thus, the value of Cv is taken as 78.4
Allowable shear stress = Fv = (FY/2.89)Cv ≤ 0.4Fy = 14.4 ksi
Hence allowable shear =14.4ksi
Actual Shear
Vy = Dtw = 10.68 in2
fv = Fy/Vy = 5.805 ksi
Stress ratio = fv/Fv = 0.403
