Development of Intraction Diagrams of Steel Beam Column

Abstract

This dissertation provides an extensive concept of the development of beam column interaction diagram of steel structures in accordance with the latest code of practice (IS 800 : 2007) for general construction in steel. The project is based on the modern limit states approach of design and covers areas such as axial & bending capacities of different Indian Standard Medium weight Beam (ISMB) sections. Once the capacities are known for one type of section then it will be easier to achieve the same for other type of rolled steel & built-up sections. This project is mostly useful for design of industrial buildings as well as public buildings as it gives a quick reference to the acceptability of different steel sections as per availability according to the effective length for a given combination of load and moment.
