1COMBINED DIRECT AND BENDING STRESS

DIRECT STRESS

When a force F is applied to the center of gravity of a cross sectional area A , the direct stress can be formulated and expressed as:

BENDING STRESSWhen a Moment M is applied to the center of gravity of a cross sectional area A , the bending stress can be formulated and expressed as:

The bending stress can also be expressed as since

If a force is applied to a cross-section at any point other than the center of gravity, the force acts with an eccentricity , ex, measured from the axes X and Y through the

center of gravity as shown by the figure below.It ca be seen that the eccentric load P

has an effect of inducing a direct strss equal to , as well as bending stress about

the X-X axis equal to where equal to

When the two above stresses are added the expression becomes :

Similarly if a load F is applied a distance from the Y axes shown below the

combined stress is:

NB! The section modulus is now around the Y axes.

When the Force F, IS applied eccentric about both axes as shown below: it produces

direct stress bending stress , as well as

The maximum stress at the corners can be expressed as:

The Middle Third Rule

For zero stress to develop at the one side:

( as long as the eccentricity E falls within the middle third of the

base the stress below the base will be positive )

With eccentricity more than a negative stress develops .This is not applicable for

Example 4

i ) Calculate the eccentricity measured from the centre of the round base to produce a zero stress at the edge of the base, if the load applied is 2000 kN and the diameter of the base is 2.4m

ii ) Calculate the max and min stress if the eccentricity is 60 mm

= 530.5 or 353.7 kN/m2

Consider the following base

R is known

The maximum ground pressure will occur at A and the minimum at B

For the min pressure to be zero

This means that the ground pressure below the base will always be positive providedThe resultant force R falls within the “ middle third “ of the base.

Regard the scenario where

The “ theoretical “ ground pressure will be the following:

The section presents a negative pressure ( suction/tension in joints ) which of coarse is not possible in

the case of foundations.

The ground pressure distribution is as follows and the max. pressure is corrected to be positive only as shown:

The position of the Resultant must coincide with the centre of gravity if the triangle

is the average stress and

These equations are the appropriate to be used whenever

2 RETAINING WALLS

RANKNE`S THEORYThe assumptions made in this theory is that theRETAINED material is incompressible, homogeneous .granular and cohesion less and that it possesses internal frictional resistance to movement between the grains Thus if a quantity of such material were tipped onto a flat surface it would flow out to form a conical shape. The material within the cone supports itself due to the internal friction between the grains.The angle that the side of the cone makes with horizontal is known as the “ angle of repose ”Should the material be restrained by a vertical surface the active lateral pressure is : where

in terms of the angle of shearing resistance

and is the “weight density” of the material ( kN/m3 )Therefore at depth H the active pressure:

Since varies uniformly with depth in a homogeneous material the distribution diagram for the lateral pressure is a triangle and the resultant Force resulting from the

triangular distribution of pressure 2 acting at distance above. surface of

the Soil

The moment around point A is referred to as the “ OVERTURNING MOMENT “

The overturning moment is resisted by the “ RESISTING MOMENT “ created by the weight of, the retaining wall and all the material on the base of the retaining wall.The resisting moment are generated about the toe A, of the retaining wall.

s u r c h a r g e

The safety factor against overturning =

SURCHARGEWhen a superimposed pressure is applied at the surface of the retained soil the activelateral pressure is increased by a proportional amount. The pressure distribution ofwhich is rectangular and the resultant force acts at half the depth.for a surcharge of kN/m2 the pressure

GROUND PRESSUREThe stress below the base is the combined stress of the direct stress and the bending stress caused by the eccentricity of the resultant load R on the base

The eccentricity can be found by

The pressures at point A and B respectively are

since we regard I m length of the wall Z becomes

For a zero stress to develop behind the wall the eccentricity becomes

In order to prevent negative stresses to develop below the base the resultant must fall within the middle third of the base.

Example 1 Calculate the ground pressure below the base of the retaining wall shown The soil carries a surcharge of 4 kN/m2 ( Regard 1m length of the wall only )And show a diagram of the moments on the wall, heel and toe.

Passive pressure:

surface of the soil behind the wall

H soil in front

The soil in front of the wall does not actively exerts a pressure against the wall instead the wall is applying a pressure to the soil. The soil induces a passive pressure to resist the pressure applied by the wall with magnitude:

Because it is doubt full whether this pressure is sustainable. Most engineers do not take it in account when determining the moment of resistance of the wallHowever the passive pressure plays an important role in resisting sliding of the wall.

The active force pushes the wall foreword, and if this force is larger than

the esisting force sliding will occur. The resisting force comprises: a )The friction between the base and the soil, equaling where is the resultant downward force applied by the wall as well as the soil on top of the base

and the resultant force:

This force can now be compounded into vertical and horizontal componentsThe horizontal component causes overturning while the vertical component adds to the weight resistance. ( this value must if applicable be added to w1 ,w2 ,w3 and S in example 1 to form the total resisting force W, and MR )Example2

4 PARABOLIC ARCHES

1. Arch ActionAn arch is a curved beam with both ends fixed in position that is in the X and Y direction and may be fixed against rotation. This means that the supports may be pinned or fixed(built-in) but never on roller supports.

s p a nV a

Any load placed on the arch causes both horizontal and vertical reaction at the supports. The horizontal forces exerted by the supports is known as Arching Action and greatly reduces the bending moments in the arch. The parabolic arch acts as the inverse of a flexible cable which hangs in pure tension to form a parabola when a uniform distributed load is suspended from it. The parabolic arch consequently is in pure compression when carrying a uniformly distributed load For the arch above, we have the following BM diagrams

3. Types of Arches

3.1 Fixed Ended Arch

In this case we have 4 reactions and 2 reactive moments at the supports. One can still remove three reactions and the structure will still stand. This type of structure is therefore statically indeterminate to the 3rd degree .

3.2 Two Pinned Arch

The removal of two moment reactions that were in the fixed arch, leavs us with 4 reactions at the supports. One horizotal reaction can still be removed, the arch would spread but still remain a structure This type of structure is therefore statically indeterminate to the 1st degree .

3.3 Three Pinned Arch

The introduction of an additional pin on the arch creates an additional equation(The sum of all the moments as well as the bending moment is zero at the pin), to the three equations of statics( V = 0 ; H = 0 ; M = 0 ( of the structure as a whole ))

, we now have 4 unknowns and 4 Equations, making the arch to be statically determinate. The Storms River Bridge is an example of this type of structure

Regard a section of the parabola.At any point D on the curve the AXIAL THRUST acts in the direction of the tangent to the curve at that point and is the sum of the components of all horizontal components the forces ( including the reactions ) to the left ( or right ) of that point in the direction of the tangent.

The component of H in the plane Y-Y = and thee component of H in the X-X plane =

The component of V in the plane Y-Y = and the component of H in the X-X plane =

Adding both components in the direction of the tangent:

Similarly the RADIAL SHEAR force at any point on the curve is the component of all the forces to the left ( or right ) of that point perpendicular to the tangent at that point.Adding in the direction perpendicular to the tangent:

S = V cos - H sin ------------B

NB! Formulas A & B applies only for section AB with,

upwards and from left to right.

It is recommended that all inclined forces be resolved into horizontal and vertical

components to calculate and ; the sum of all the vertical and horizontal

forces to the left of point D

again H is taken as positive from left to right and V positive upwards

F = H cos + V sin ... ------------ A

For section CB above the formulas change to,

F = H Cos - V Sin and, S = V Cos + H Sin

To calculate the maximum and minimum bending moments, the bending moment must

be written in terms of the variable .

giving the values for maximum and minimum bending moments

eg. With udl

S = 18.75 cos 26.570 - 37.5 sin 26.570

= 0 kN

BMD = 56.25 x 2.5 -37.5 x 1.875 - 15 x ( as before.)

= 23.4375 kN.m

a formula for the bending moment would read:

BM = 56.25 x - 37.5 - 15

= 56.25 x - 37.5 - 15

= - 3.75 + 18.75 x

At the point of maximum bending moment

giving, x = 2.5 m and y = 2.5 - = 1.875 m

The bending moment at this point is MD = 23.4375 kN.m

When we speak of columns (and buckling) we are talking about members loaded in compression, often axially loaded, although columns may be loaded eccentrically. We also tend to think of columns as vertical members, however, the formulas we will utilize also apply to horizontal compression members, or to compression members in general. For instance, compression members of a truss may be considered to be columns pinned at each end point.

Columns may be divided into three general types: Short Columns, Intermediate Columns, and Long Columns. The distinction between types of columns is not well defined, but a generally accepted measure is based on the Slenderness Ratio. The Slenderness Ratio is the (effective) length of the column divided by its radius of gyration.

The radius of gyration is the distance from an axis which, if the entire cross sectional area of the object (beam) were located at that distance, it would result in the same moment of inertia that the object (beam) possesses. Or, it may be expressed as: Radius of Gyration: rxx = (Ixx/A)1/2 (radius of gyration about xx-axis)

So, Slenderness Ratio = Le / r.

Notice that we have put a subscript "e" by the length of the column. This is to indicate that, depending on how the column is supported, we do not use the actual length but an ‘effective length’. .Where L is the clear HEIGHT of a column.

The factor K is called the effective length factor. This factor depends on the end boundary of the column. Pinned-Pinned: K= 1, Fixed-Pinned: K= .7, Fixed-Fixed: K = .5, Fixed-Free: K = 2

A generally accepted relationship between the slenderness ratio and the type of Column is as follows:

Short Column: 0< Le / r < 60Intermediate Column: 60< Le / r <120Long Column: 120< Le / r < 300

I. Short Columns: When the slenderness ratio is less than 60, a column will not fail due to buckling, as the ratio of the column length to the effective cross sectional area is too small. Rather a short, 'thick' column, axially loaded, will fail in simple compressive failure: that is when the load/area of the column exceeds the allowable stress, P/A > s allow.

Eccentrically loaded short columns have a slightly more complicated result for compression failure, which we will look at later in this section.

We also will put off discussion of intermediate length columns until we have discussed long columns. Idealized buckling in long columns was first treated by the famous mathematician Leonard Euler.

II. Long Columns & Euler's Equation: In 1757, Leonard Euler (pronounced Oiler) developed a relationship for the critical column load which would produce buckling. A very brief derivation of Euler's equation goes as follows:

Column under pin supports

A loaded pinned-pinned column is shown in the diagram. A top section of the diagram is shown with the bending moment indicated, and in terms of the load P, and the deflection distance y,V we can write:1. M = - P y.

We also can write that for beams/columns the bending moment is proportional to the curvature of the beam, which, for small deflection can be expressed as:2. (M /EI) = (d2y /dx2)(See Strength of Material text chapters on beams and beam deformations.) Where E = Young's modulus, and I = moment of Inertial. Then substituting from EQ. 1 to EQ. 2, we obtain:

3. (d2y /dx2) = -(P/EI)y or (d2y /dx2) + (P/EI)y = 0

This is a second order differential equation, which has a general solution form of

We next apply boundary conditions: y = 0 at x = 0, and y = 0 at x = L. That is, the deflection of the column must be zero at each end since it is pinned at each end. Applying these conditions (putting these values into the equation) gives us the following results: For y to be zero at x =0, the value of B must be zero (since cos (0) = 1). While for y to be zero at x = L, then either A must be zero (which leaves us with no equation at all, if A and B are both zero), or

. Which results in the fact that

And we can now solve for P and find:

5. , where Pcr stands for the critical load which can be applied before buckling is initiated.

6. By replacing L with the effective length, Le, which was defined above, we can generalize the formula to:

, which then applies to Pinned-Pinned, Fixed-Pinned, Fixed-Fixed, and Fixed-Free columns.

This equation is a form of Euler's Equation. Another form may be obtained by solving

for the critical stress:

and then remembering that the Radius of Gyration: rxx = (Ixx/A)1/2 , and substituting we can obtain:

which gives the critical stress in terms of Young's Modulus of the column material and the slenderness ratio.

Let us at this time also point out that Euler's formula applies only while the material is in the elastic/proportional region. That is, the critical stress must not exceed the proportional limit stress. If we now substitute the proportional limit stress for the critical

stress, we can arrive at an equation for the minimum slenderness ratio such that Euler's equation will be valid.

It should also be pointed out that while these formulas give reasonable values for critical loads causing buckling, it should not be assumed the values are completely accurate. Buckling is a complicated phenomena, and the buckling in any individual column may be influenced by misalignment in loading, variations in straightness of the member, presence of initial unknown stresses in the column, and defects in the material. Several examples of buckling calculations follow.

Comments of Column Section

o Short columns have more capacity to resist buckling than long columns

o Euler’s Load is valid for long columns. For very short columns, the capacity of the column will be governed by the strength of the material

o Columns with higher flexural rigidity (EI) will be able to resist buckling better than columns having small flexural rigidity

o Columns with (yz is the plane perpendicular to the column axis), it will buckle in the direction of smaller I

o It is then more economical to design columns with the same than columns with different moment of inertia for the same cross-sectional area (This may not be true if the columns subjected to addition bending)

o To increase the moment of inertia by increasing the distribution of material to be further away from the centroid of the section ( ) will increase the capacity to resist buckling

o Hollow tubular section is generally more economical for use as a column than solid section having the same cross-sectional area

o Although theoretically the thinner the wall of the hollow tubular is, the more economical the column will be, too thin wall will lead to local buckling (Only overall buckling of column is discussed in this course)

Critical Stress

Critical stress can be obtained by dividing the critical load by the column cross-sectional area

Defining radius of gyration , we have

The ratio L/r is called the slenderness ratio. The above equation is also known as Euler’s stress.

Example3

Eccentric Loading

In practical, almost all of the columns are subjected to eccentric loadings

When we have eccentric loading, the bending moment in the column will be increased

It can be concluded that Perry developed his formula based on the initial curvature of the column, from

which Robertson (and Godfrey) later developed the known Perry-Robertson formula

where: = Euler stress = Yield stress

Godfrey proposed the value of which was later included in the British design code BS

The South African Steel design code SABS 0162 uses a empirical formula developed in

Canada which is in line with present design codes in developed countries.

The compression resistance of a column is derived from:

where ; n = 1.34 and = 0.9

Safety factors

Regard the following formula

x A = Pp

Pp represents the ultimate load on a column . Because it is difficult to predict the

load on a column with accuracy a load factor can be applied to Pp ( )

represents the yield stress of the material and similarly because of the difficulty

in predicting the strength of the material a material resistance factor can be applied to

The South African Steel design code SANS 10162 uses a material resistance factor of

0.9 for steel ( x resistance factor )

SECTION PROPERTIES

To calculate allowable stresses in columns it is essential to calculate the section

properties of the column. For a rectangular section and axes through the center of gravity b

CG d X X

The moment of inertia ; ; the area A = bd

and the radius of gyration r = = =

where b is the width parallel to the axes and d is the depth at right angles to the axes

For round columns: I = and r = where d is the diameter of the circle.

To calculate the moment of inertia of compound columns (made up of multiple sections )

it is handy to use the “parallel axes” theorem I = I + Ay

where I is the moment of inertia around the center of gravity and I is the moment

of inertia around a axes distance y from the axes through the center of gravity.

The radius of gyration is rx =

I represents the moment of inertia around a axes through the center of gravity of the

compound section.

rxx = = 123.2 mm

ry = = 58.95 mm

At the top as well as the bottom the column is supported against lateral movement, in

the Y direction ( NB this prevents buckling around the X-axes )

In the X direction the column is supported against lateral movement at 2m intervals.

The column is not restrained against rotation anywhere. (pinned, not fixed )

Calculate the maximum allowable load on the column using the Perry-Robertson

equation. Use a material resistance factor of 0.9

with the material resistance factor of 0.9 = 0.9x300 = 270 MPa

= 245.3 MPa

PP = 245.3 x 9 x 103 N

= 2207.8 kN

( This value compares with the ultimate resistance of the column. which according to

SANS 10162 has to be compared to the ultimate load, being the calculated load

multiplied by a load factor depending on the nature of the load )

For the above example:

; n = 1.34 and = 0.9

Columns are often compounded from hot rolled sections e.g. two channels compounded

to form a box profile. In cases where the effective lengths are the same around both axes

the channels can be separated by a distance sufficient to render Ixx = Iyy

STABILITY AND DETERMINACY

A Reactions;

i) Roller

One reaction perpendicular to the rolling surface

ii) Hinge / pin

Two perpendicular reactions (vertical and horizontal ) iii) Fixed reaction

Three reactions, two preventing movement (displacement ) in both vertical and

horizontal directions, and one moment reaction preventing the rotation of point A

iv) Link

One independent reaction only, in the direction of the member (although there seems to

be two reactions at the hinge these reactions are geometrically dependant ) i) External stability ( reactions )

Classification of structures in terms of stability and determinacy.

For a structure to be stable all the external forces and moments acting on the structure

must be in balance or is said to be in equilibrium. That means in lay mans terms that the

forces going up must be balanced by the forces going down and the forces from left to

right must balance the forces from right to left. Similarly the clockwise moments must

balance the anti-clockwise moments.

Hence the equilibrium Equations:

a Structure with less than three reactions can not meet the above requirements and is

therefore unstable.

a Structure with three reactive forces can be determined using solely the three

equilibrium equations, and is said to be determinate. A Structure with four or more

reactions requires further equations over and above the three equilibrium equations

to solve the reactions, and is referred to as indeterminate, with the degree of

indeterminacy being the number of reactions minus three. The additional reactions are

also referred to as redundant reactions.

a Structure with reactions is indeterminate, with ( ) redundant reactions.

Condition Equations

Special conditions apply where the three equilibrium equations can be extended

to allow for further equations to solve additional reactions or unknowns.

These are referred to as condition equations.

Examples of situations that allows for additional equations:

One part of a structure connected to the rest of the structure by means of one pin only.

This allows the normal as well as BM = 0 (beams )

Similarly when one part of a structure is joined to the other by parallel members only.

a force component perpendicular to the members cannot be transferred.

Both scenarios implies that one portion of the structure must be self sufficient in terms of

stability thus providing an additional equation.

Geometric Instability

It is possible that three or more reactions can be arranged in such a ineffective way

that external stability cannot be assured under all loading conditions. Structures in this

category are termed geometrically unstable.

Examples of geometric instability:

i ) All reactions parallel

ii) The working line of all reactions intersects in one common point.

iii) Three hinges in a row

External classification of Structures

Structures with Condition Equations

ii) Internal stability and determinacy a) Plain frames

Trusses similar to that shown on the sketch present a two fold problem:

a) External stability and determinacy as discussed above, as well as

b) There must be sufficient members (bars) not to form a collapse mechanism

under any applied load system.

The simplest plane frame is the triangle shown in full lines in the sketch above

The first assumption with such trusses is that the joints are pinned and consequently, if the loads are applied at the joints no shear forces or bending moments will develop

leaving us with the axial force as only unknown per member.

The above triangle is stable since it will not change its shape when loads are applied to it

and can be extended as shown in dotted lines to form a frame or truss.

Since all member are joined by pins and loads are applied at joints only, each member

has one unknown (axial force ) and each joint supplies two equations:

structure is stable and determinate

structure is unstable

structure is stable but indeterminate

Condition equations as discussed apply.

b) Rigid frames

External classification: ( reactions )

The number of reactions must again be compared to three, similar to plain frames

taking account of condition equations if any.

Internal stability (rigid frames)

Frames where some or all the joints are rigid joints can transfer bending moments and

shear forces and therefore three unknowns per member, making the total number of

unknowns

To solve this we have available three equations per joint plus the number of condition

equations ; where t is the number of condition equations.

Condition equations: Two members joining at a pin gives one condition, three

members joining at one pin gives two condition equations and so on.

structure is stable and determinate

structure is unstable

structure is stable but indeterminate
