Rafter to column top connection design

Given data:

Pu = 10Kips
=0.315in

Throut = W(0.707)
Tube 6x3x0.315

A = 5.6in2

Analysis data:
Rn = 0.75 x 0.707 x W x 0.6Fexx (1.066)
Rn = 0.75 x 0.707 x 10/25 x 0.6 x 60 x 1.066 = 8.1 Kips/in
Shear yield strength of rafter boxes.
Rn = x (0.6Fy) x t
>>> Rn = 1 x 0.6 x 36 x 0.315 =
6.8Kips/in.control.
Shear rupture strength of rafter boxes
Rn = x (0.6Fu) x t

>>> Rn = 0.75 x 0.6 x 58 x 0.315 = 8.22Kips/in

Weld length
Lw = 10/6.8 = 1.5in or 0.75in in each side of tube connection ( rafter) with top
plate .but provided weld sizes in drawing fillet 10mm with total length = 6.8cm

Design of bolts for top plate and column connection:


Combined shear and tension
1- selected bolt type bolt A325-N

diameter in ~ 20mm

2- Taken the moment force ,shear force and axial force from ETABS program .
Tu = 10 Sin17 = 3kips
connection which:

Vu =10 Cos 17 = 9.6kips

The tension force one bolt Tu = 3/4 = 0.75kips/bolt


= 9.6/4 = 2.4 kips/bolt

there are 4 bolt in


and

Using table (J3.5 LRFD) and table 4.14.1 steel structure design behavior computing the
tensile capacity of bolts for bearing type connections.

Therefore the 4 bolts with dia(20mm) are conservatively ok for bearing type

ROOF FASTENERS CALCUALTION:

Calculation for attachment of GI sheet to purlin

Rn = nominal resistance (strength) of one screw


= resistance factor, 0.75 for fracture in tension, shear on high-strength
screw,
and bearing of screw against side of hole.
m = the number of shear planes participating (double shear = 2).
Ab = gross cross sectional area across the unthreaded shank of the screw.
Fu = tensile strength of the screw material (827.37 MPa for screw).
The fasteners spacing is 570mm in longitudinal direction and 300mm in
transvers direction.
Assume wind pressure Conservatively 100kg/m2
and
effective area
for each screw is (0.57*0.3)=0.171m2
since the wind force for each screw =100*0.171=17.1 kg
Which uplift force = 0.1KN/screw and shear force = 0.16 KN/screw
Assumed screw diameter = 12mm Ab=113mm2 Fu =827.37 MPa
Design Tension Strength:
Rn = 0.75(0.75 Fu)Ab
Rn = 0.75 (0.75*827.37)*113/1000 =52.58
Rn = 52.58KN/Screw
>
0.1KN/screw ok against uplifting force
Design shear strength-No threads in shear planes:
Rn = 0.75(0.5 Fu)mAb
Rn = 0.75(0.5*827.37)*2*113/1000 =70
Rn = 70 KN/Screw > 0.16KN/screw ok against shear force
Design shear strength- Threads in shear planes:
Rn = 0.75(0.40 Fu)mAb
Rn = 0.75 (0.4*827.37)*2*113/1000 = 56.1KN/Screw
Rn = 56.1 KN/Screw > 0.16KN/screw ok against shear force
