1 GENERAL DATA:
Strut member adopted = 508 CHS 12.7

Working axial load in strut member (P) = 1253 kN

Length of strut member (L) = 6m
Strut inclination against wall plane (ϴ) = 45 ˚
Waler beam selected = 610UB125

Number of waler beams = 2 No's

Breadth of waler beam flange (bf) = 229 mm
Breadth of connection plate (b) = 1000 mm OK !
Height of connection plate (h) = 675 mm OK !
Thickness of plate (t) = 24 mm
Yield Strength of Structural Steel Plate (Fy) = 300 N/mm2
Youngs' Modulus of Steel (Es) = 200000 N/mm2

2 BOLTS CALCULATIONS:
Number of bolts (assumed) = 8 No's
Diameter of bolt (db) = 36 mm
Bolt property class = 8.8 (BD) Grade
Core area of threaded bolt (a ) 759 mm2
Capacity factor (ɸ) = 0.8
Ult. Tensile Strength of steel (fuf) = 830 N/mm2
Selfweight of strut (w ) = 4.6 kN
Shear force induced by strut inclination (V) = 886 kN
Design Shear force (Vu) = 1336 kN
Shear force on each bolt (Vue) = 167 kN
Shera capacity of each bolt (Ve*) = ɸ * 0.62 * fuf * a
= 312 kN
OK !

3 PLATE BENDING CALCULATIONS:

Ultimate plate pressure (p u ) = 4.11 N/mm2
Maximum simply supported plate span (lss) = 220 mm
Maximum cantilever plate span (lc) = 55 mm
Ultimate bending stress (fbs) = 24866 Nmm
Unit section modulus of plate (Z) = b * d2 / 6
= 96 mm3
Bending Stress capacity (fbs, limit) = 0.9 * fy * Z
= 25920 Nmm
OK !
