Hi there,
I've got an assignment due today and as usual have left finishing it off until the last minute. I've completed most of it but I thought I'd try and get an opinion on something.
Basically our teacher has asked us for a very simple steel frame (beam, column, footing) to resist a dead and live load. He didn't want us to bother with beam-column continuity and said we could just design the column to take an axial load (half weight of beam and imposed loads) and design the bolted connection and a reinforced concrete footing. I was wondering though because I'm out of time to ask him about it should I design equal angle bars to run diagonally across the frame to provide more stability or just leave it as beam, column and footing. I know it would be best to ask him about it but I have as I said run out of time. Thanks heaps if someone could help me out.
Beam selected: 700 WB 130
Column selected: 200 UC 46.2
Bolted connection: 6 x 8.8/S Bolts connected via a standard 12mm beam column plate.
