CALCULATION FOR SHOP SPLICING OF SWAY GIRDER FOR HTMJ 2+3

Section of sway bracing= ISA 110x110x10

Section properties
240 cm
4
Ix =
Zx = 30.4 cm3
A= 21.1 cm2
r1 3.37
fy = 250 N/mm2
Partial Safety Factor= 1.25 (for Ultimate stress, refer table 5 of IS800 )

Design of Splice Plates

Design Ultimate Tension / Comp stress (fa)= fy / SF = 200 N/mm2

Design Ultimate Axial Capacity of Section (T)= A x fa = 422 KN
Splice to be Designed for Capacity (Percentage) = 105%
So, Ultimate Axial force for Splice Plate Design = 443.1 KN
Splice Design Force is taken by one side of angles (F) = 221.55 KN

Design of Splice Plates

Total available width for splice (Bfp) 110-2x10 = 90 mm
Thickness of flange splice plate reqd F / (Bfp x fa) = 12.31 mm
Flange Splice plate thk provided = 16 mm

Ultimate Strength of Weld (Refer IS:814) = 410 N/mm2

Type of weld = Shop
Partial Safety factor of Weld (Refer Table 5 of IS 800) (FS ) = 1.25
Design Ultimate shear strength of weld fuw / sqrt(3) / FS = 189 N/mm2
Size of weld = 8 mm
Capacity of weld per unit length 0.707 x 8 x 189 / 100 = 1.071 KN/mm
Required total weld length 221.55/1.071 = 206.85 mm
Weld Length each side 206.8/2 = 103.42 mm
Length of flange splice plates required 2x103.42 = 206.85 mm
Length of flange plates Provided = 220 mm

Size of splice plate provided = 16x90x210
