Open sections (UB, UC) subject to torsion

Calculations in accordance with BS5950:Part1:2000, the SCI 'Steelwork Design Guide to BS5950' and the SCI 'Design of
Members Subject to Combined Bending and Torsion'.

Span = 2.5 m
Section size - 457x191x74 UB
Section class - 1 (Plastic)
Steel grade - S 355
Design strength of steel = 355 N/mm2

Torsion forces - total applied torque = 5 kNm

Bending details - applied ultimate bending moment = 30 kNm

- equivalent uniform moment factor = 0.85 kNm
- buckling resistance bending moment = 150 kNm
- applied ultimate shear force = 100 kN

Torsional loading case

The torsional loading comprises third point torques each of value Tq/2, with both ends warping free and torsion fixed.

Check combined bending and torsion

For the load case specified and at a position 1250 mm along the beam, using the solutions to the differential equations given
in Appendix B of the guide, the following values can be derived.
 = 0.00715 rads
' =0
'' = -0.0000000107
''' =0

(i) Buckling check at ultimate limit state

The buckling check is in accordance with equation 2.21 of the SCI guide, with values of  and  derived as follows;
byt w
M = ABS()*M
yt x
= ABS((7.149*10-3))*30
= 0.2 kNm
hence  = M *106/(Z *103)
byt yt yy
= 0.2*106/(175*103)
= 1.1 N/mm2

and  = E*W *102*ABS('')

w no
= 205000*211*102*ABS((-1.066*10-8))
= 46.1 N/mm2

and in accordance with equation 2.21

BTF = (m *M /M )+((( + )/p )*(1+0.5*m *M /M ))
LT x b byt w y LT x b
= (0.85*30/150)+(((1.1+46.1)/355)*(1+0.5*0.85*30/150))
= 0.314
Combined factor does not exceed 1, hence section OK.

(i) Local capacity check at ultimate limit state

The local capacity check for bending is in accordance with equation 2.22 of the guide, with  derived as follows;
bx
  = M *106/(Z *103)
bx x xx
= 30*106/(1457*103)
= 20.6 N/mm2

and in accordance with equation 2.22

LCB =  + +
bx byt w
= 20.6+1.1+46.1
= 67.8 N/mm2
Local capacity does not exceed 355 N/mm2 , hence section OK.

Check of shear stresses

Due to bending at ultimate limit state

The local capacity check for shear is in accordance with equation 2.25 of the guide,with values of bending and torsion shear
stresses derived as follows, at the section under investigation;
Stress in web  = F*103*Q *103/(I *104*t)
bw w xx
= 100*103*826*103/(33300*104*9)
= 27.6 N/mm2
Stress in flange  = F*103*Q *103/(I *104*T)
bf f xx
= 100*103*296*103/(33300*104*14.5)
= 6.1 N/mm2

Due to torsion at ultimate limit state

Pure torsion -
stress in web  = G*t*'
tw
= 79000*9*0
= 0.0 N/mm2
stress in flange  = G*T*'
tf
= 79000*14.5*0
= 0.0 N/mm2
Warping -
stress in flange  = -E*S *104*'''/T
wf w1
= -205000*1454*104*0/14.5
= 0.0 N/mm2

Hence, the maximum combined shear stresses are;

in the web  =  *(1+(0.5*m *M /M ))
vt tw LT x b
= 0*(1+(0.5*0.85*30/150))
= 0.0 N/mm2
and hence  = ABS( )+ABS( )
w bw vt
= ABS(27.6)+ABS(0)
= 27.6 N/mm2
Combined shear stress in web does not exceed 213 N/mm2 , hence section OK.

in the flange  = ( + )*(1+(0.5*m *M /M ))

vt tf wf LT x b
= (0+0)*(1+(0.5*0.85*30/150))
= 0.0 N/mm2
and hence  = ABS( )+ABS( )
f bf vt
= ABS(6.1)+ABS(0)
= 6.1 N/mm2
Combined shear stress in flange does not exceed 213 N/mm2 , hence section OK.

Check angle of twist at serviceability limit state

The load factor is  is 1.5 and hence the angle of twist becomes
 = ABS()/
s
= ABS((7.149*10-3))/1.5
= 0.00477 rads
or and angle of L = 0.27 o
The angle of rotation does not exceed 2 o which is normally acceptable, however it is prudent to check deflection at top of any
elements supported by the beam.
