Sleeve Joint Connection Design, for Steel Cell Tower / Sign, Based on AISC 360-10

INPUT DATA & DESIGN SUMMARY

SMALL PIPE D (in) Fy (ksi) t (in)
20 42 0.25
BIG PIPE D (in) Fy (ksi) t (in)
24 42 0.25
RING PLATE (Top, Middle, & Bottom) t (in) Fy (ksi)
0.75 36

SLEEVE LENGTH L= 30 in

JOINT HORIZONTAL SECTION FORCES

P= 15 kips, (Axial)
V= 39 kips, (Shear)
M= 50 ft-kips, (Bending)
T= 30 ft-kips, (Torsion)

SIZE OF FILLET WELD ALL AROUND

w= 0.1875 in

SLOT WELDS 6 - 5/8 in x 3 in

(Side Welds @ 60 deg. O.C.)
THE CONNECTION DESIGN IS ADEQUATE.

ANALYSIS
CHECK FILLET WELD LIMITATIONS (AISC 360-10 J2.2b)
w= 0.1875 in > wMIN = 0.125 in
< wMAX = (f 0.6 Fu t) / (f 0.707 FEXX) = (0.75 x 0.6 x 58 ksi) t / (0.75 x 0.707 x 70 ksi)
[Satisfactory] = 1.1795 t = 0.295 in

CHECK FILLET WELD CAPACITY (AISC 360-10 J2.4)

fx = V / Aw + T / (0.5 D Aw) = 9.00 ksi
fy = P / A w + M / S w = 16.11 ksi
f = (fx2 + fy2)0.5 = 18.46 ksi < 0.6 FEXX / W = 21.00 ksi [Satisfactory]

Where D = 20 in, use small pipe conservatively

te = 0.707 w = 0.13256 in
Aw = D p te = 8.32915 in2
Sw = p [(D + 2 te)4 - D4] / 32(D + 2 te) = 41.92541 in3
W = 2.0

CHECK SLOT WELD CAPACITY (AISC 360-10 J2.4)

Fx = V / n + T / (0.5 n D) + M / (n L) = 14.83 kips / slot weld
Fy = P / n = 2.50 kips / slot weld
f = (Fx2 + Fy2)0.5 / Aw = 8.02 ksi < 0.6 FEXX / W = 21.00 ksi [Satisfactory]

Where n = 6 , number of slot welds

D = 24 in, big pipe diameter
Aw = 5/8 in x 3 in = 1.875 in2 / slot weld

CHECK SHEAR RUPTURE CAPACITY OF RING PLATE (AISC 360-10 J4.2)

f = (Fx2 + Fy2)0.5 / Aw = 8.02 ksi < 0.6 Fu / W = 17.40 ksi [Satisfactory]

Where Fu = 58 ksi, ( AISC Manual 14th Edition, Tab. 2-4)

W = 2.0

CHECK BLOCK SHEAR CAPACITY OF SLOTTED PIPE (AISC 360-10 J4.3)

f = (Fx2 + Fy2)0.5 / Aw = 8.30 ksi < Min (0.6 Fu , U Fu) / W = 14.50 ksi [Satisfactory]

Where Fu = 58 ksi, ( AISC Manual 14th Edition, Tab. 2-4)

U = 0.5 ,not 1.0 conservatively
Aw = 2 t ( 5/8 in + 3 in ) = 1.813 in2 / slot weld
