COLUMNS WITH BENDING ====================== PA 330 Bending in addition to axial compression ============================= a. eccentricity due to supports on column face brackets etc. b. moment-resistive connection rigid frame c. wind = beam load d. horizontal load from cars earth quakes explosions Theory: ====== buckling effect of column combined with effects of laterally unsupported beam P-delta effect PA 230 P-Delta Effect: =========== (PA 230) Occurs when the deflection due to bending moves the centroid of the column at midheight away from the line of action of the axial compression force. This results in some additional bending moment of a magnitude equal to the product of compression force (P) times the deflection (delta) The entire moment is a P-delta effect.

Equivalent Design Load ================= that incorporates the bending effect ========================= P' = P + BxMx + ByMy P' = equivalent axial load P = actual axial load Bx = bending factor for the section's x-axis Mx = bending moment about the x-axis By = bending factor for the section's y-axis My = bending moment about the y-axis. Bx & By Table 10.2 PA 321 & 322 Equivalent Design Load that incorporates the bending effect


Example Problem:
=============
Equivalent Design Load that incorporates the bending effect
It is desired to use a 10 in W shape
for a column that sustains an
axial compression plus bending.
The axial compression load from above
is 120 kips
and the beam load is 24 kips
with the beam attached at the column face.
The Column is 16 ft high and
has a K factor of 1
Select a trial section for the column
10 inch W shaped column axial compression load from above = 120 kips beam load = 24 kips beam attached at the column face. column height = 16 ft K factor = 1
Select a trial section for the column.
| Pc = 120 kips | | | Pb = 24 kips === | | | |_________ | |_________ | | | | === |----| 10"
1. Bending occurs only about the x-axis only Bx factor is critical 2. Table 10.2 PA 321 scanning the column of Bx factors observe that factor for 10 W sections range from 0.261 - 0.2777

3. We have not yet determined the section to be used.
It is necessary to make an assumption
for the factor and verify the assumption
after the selection is made.
Let us assume a Bx of 0.27
4. P' = P + BxMx + ByMy
P' = equivalent axial load
P = actual axial load
Bx = bending factor for the section's x-axis
Mx = bending moment about the x-axis
By = bending factor for the section's y-axis
My = bending moment about the y-axis.
5.
P = P c + P b
P = 120 kips + 24 kips
P = 144 kips
P c = load from column
P b = load from beam
6. Bending occurs only around the x-axis
By = 0
My = 0
7. P' = P + BxMx + ByMy
= 144 kips + 0.27 (Pb x d/2)
Pc + Pb + table 10"/2
P' = (120 + 24 kips) + 0.27 (24 kips) x (5in)
P' = 144 + 32.4
P' = 176.4 kips
8. K L
K = 1 given
L = 16 ft
K L
1 x 16
K L = 16
9. Table 10.2 PA 321
KL = 16
P' = 144 kips
W 10 given

10. W 10 X 45 SELECTED
11. Bx = 0.271
very close to our assumption of 0.27
