Question

The uniform service dead load is 1.0 k/ft and a live load of 1.5 k/pt on a simple span of 30 ft. Assume that the section is fully composite and the concrete has a density of 150 pcf with a 28 day compressive strength of 3.00 Ksi. Use ASTM A steel with F_y = 5 Ksi, For the composite section shown, determine: a. The transformed moment of Inertia. b. The design strength of the composite section. c. If the section is adequate to carry the given loads. Design a base plate supporting a W 8 times 31 column, supported on a -0 times 1' - 6" footing. P_U = 150 Kips, f'_c = 3 ksi, and F_y = 36 ksi. Determine if the dead load deflection in problem 1 is within the allowable limit. Delta_allow = L/240. Check steel members only.

Explanation / Answer

Uniform service load = 1.0k/ft

Live load = 1.3k/ft

Span length = 30 ft

Composite section

Concrete density = 150 pcf

28 day compressive strength = 3 ksi

ASTM steel A36 , Fy = 36 Ksi

bE = 90”, ts = 2.5 “", W16x26 steel beam, 3/8"x6(1/2)" steel cover plate, normal weight concrete with a 28-day strength (f'c) = 3 ksi

1.Transform the concrete into equivalent steel.

1.1 find Ec so that you can compute n. According to ACI 318, Ec

Ec = 33 w1.5 sqrt(f'c) = 33 (150 pcf)1.5 sqrt(3,000 psi)

Ec = 3.320 x106 psi

Now we compute n:

n = 29 / 3.320 ~ 8.734

To transform the section into all steel, we need to divide the concrete dimension parallel to the axis (i.e. bE) by n and draw the new section.

bE / n = 90" / 8.734 = 10.30"

Wu = (1.2 x 1.0 + 1.6 X 1.3) k/ft= 3.28 k/ft

Mu = (3.28 k/ft (30ft)^2)/8 = 369 k-ft

Wa =( 1+1.3)k/ft = 2.3 k/ft

Ma = (2.3 k/ft (30ft^2))/8 = 258.75 k-ft

2.Is the section safe to carry the load

Determine beff

The effective width of the concrete slab is the sum of the effective widths for each side of the beam centerline, which shall not exceed:

(30/8)ft. 2 = 7.5 ft.

Calculate the moment arm for the concrete force measured from the top of the steel shape, Y2. Assume a = 1.0 in. (Some assumption must be made to start the design process. An assumption of 1.0 in. has proven to be a reasonable starting point in many design problems.)
