    Design of Built-up column

    The size and shape of standard rolled steel sections are


    limited
    When rolled sections do not furnish required sectional
    area or when a special shape or large radius of gyration
    is required in two different directions, a built-up
    section is fabricated.
    For economical design of heavily loaded long
    columns, the least radius of gyration of column is
    increased to maximum (ry>rz)
    To achieve this, the rolled sections are kept away from
    centroidal axis of column and are connected by lattice
    system.
    LACING
    Lacing bars are not load carrying elements. Their function
    is primarily to hold the main component members
    (different sections) of the column in their relative position
    and equalize the stress distribution in them.
    The connection is designed to transfer only the axial
    forces in the lacing bars to the main components and
    hence it is not moment resistant
    Lacing is designed for shear force (V) in columns
    The shear force may be due to incidental eccentricity of
    the applied axial load, moments or lateral forces acting on
    the columns and erection stresses.
    • The sections used to form the column act as a single section,
    withstanding buckling with respect to the axis about which the
    sections were spaced.
    Design steps of lacing:
    1. The design compressive stress is assumed. For steel with fy = 250 MPa a trial
    value in the range of 125–175 MPa may be used.
    2. Approx. cross-sectional area to carry the factored load Pu at the assumed
    compressive stress is computed.

    3. Take a trial section of area > approx. area


    For 2 channels: Ag = approx. area/2
    For 4 angles : Ag = approx. area/4
    4. The sections are so spaced that the radius of gyration of the section about the axis
    perpendicular to the plane of lacing is not less than the radius of gyration about
    the axis in the plane of lacing. This is achieved by making the radius of gyration
    about the yy-axis equal to or greater than that about the zz-axis i.e. ry ≥ rz.
    5. The effective slenderness ratio, (KL/r)e, of the laced column
    should be taken as 1.05 times the (KL/r), the actual maximum
    slenderness ratio.
    6. Design compressive stress fcd is computed
    7. Calculate load carrying capacity Pd
    8. Assume angle of inclination of lacing. Angle of inclination of
    the lacing bar with the longitudinal axis of the component
    member should be kept between 40º–70º.
    9. Calculate spacing of lacing bar
    10. Max spacing of lacing bar should be such that the minimum
    slenderness ratio of the component member (a/ry) is not greater
    than 50 (to prevent local buckling) or 0.7 times the slenderness
    ratio of the member as a whole, where a is the length of
    component member and ry is the radius of gyration about yy-
    axis of the component member
    11. Calculate length of lacing bar and spacing of lacing bar
    12. The lacing for compression members should be proportioned
    to resist a total transverse shear Vt equal to 2.5% of the axial
    force in the column. This shear Vt is divided equally in all
    parallel planes N in which there is shear resisting elements,
    such as lacing or continuous plates. Hence Vt /N is the
    transverse force to which the lacing is subjected
    13. The compressive force in the lacing bar is computed, which is
    equal to (Vt /N) cosecθ for single lacing system and (Vt /2N)
    cosecθ , for a double lacing system. Take N=2
    14. Width of lacing bar should not be less than 3 times nominal
    diameter of end connector
    Design a built up column 10 m long. It carry an axial load of
    1200 KN and composed of 2 channels placed back to back.
    Design for lacing (single) system. Design end connection of
    lacing bar using site weld.
