WELDED BOX<br />

Design code Made by DAN Sheet no.<br />

BS 5950: Part 1 Checked by GWO<br />

Check the ability of a 960 mm square box column fabricated from<br />

30 mm thick S355 plate to withstand an axial compressive load of<br />

22000 kN over an unsupported height of 15 m assuming that both<br />

ends are held in position but are provided with no restraint in direction.<br />

Design to BS 5950: Part 1.<br />

The problem is as shown in the sketches.<br />

Determine p c from Table 24, curve b Table 23<br />

Since T > 16 mm, take p y = 345 N/mm 2 Table 11<br />

Check section classification for pure compression. 3.5<br />
