Bracket Weld Connection Design Analysis

The document provides design details for a bracket connection used to support ventilation shafts. It includes dimensions for the waler, bracket and diagonal member. Load calculations are shown for weld sizing and checking compression in the diagonal member. Weld lengths are sufficient and the compression force is less than the member's capacity. A second design is also provided for a king post bracket connection, with similar load calculations shown to meet design requirements.

L2
8mm fillet weld all round
L3

8mm fillet weld all round

Loadings
Waler Size, B = 326.5 mm Bracket Size, A = 75 mm
Waler Size, D = 621.8 mm Bracket Size, B = 75 mm
Waler Self Wt = 1.95 kN/m L1 = 1100 mm
Strut Wt = 1 kN/m L2 = 585 mm
Soil Load = 1.83 kN/m L3 = 1246 mm
Conc. Packing = 3.92 kN/m q= 28 o

Bracket Spacing = 2.5 m


1% of Strut Ld = 13 kN
Load Factor = 1.4

Weld Check
Ult Loading on L1 = 49 kN

Load to be resisted at 'a' = 50 / tan28 kN


= 93 kN
Weld Size = 8 mm
Weld Strength = 1.2 kN/mm
Weld Length Required = 77 mm

Weld Length Prov'd at 'a' = 150 mm (bothsides)


Weld Length Prov'd at 'b' = 75 mm (bothsides)

Compression Check on Diagonal Member

Comp. Force on Diagonal = 50 / sin28


= 105 kN

Member Size = L75x75x9


Le = 1246 mm
Ag = 1269 mm2
rx = 22.5 mm
ry = 22.5 mm
py = 275 N/mm2
l= Le / ry
= 55.4

(table 27c), pc = 211 N/mm2

Pc = 268 kN > 105 kN OK
