Introduction to steel and steel structures
ADVANTAGES OF STEEL AS A STRUCTURAL MATERIAL
• High strength per unit weight. Hence a small section itself can withstand
heavy loads
• Light weight – easier handling or dismantling and transportation. Hence
prefabricated members can be frequently provided.
KRISHNENDU SIVADAS
• Properly maintained steel structures have a long life
• Properties of steel mostly do not change with time.
• Steel being a ductile material does not fail suddenly but gives visible
warnings
• Steel structures can be strengthened at any later time.
• Faster erection
• Time saving construction 10
• Steel has the highest scrap value. Material is reusable.
Introduction to steel and steel structures
DISADVANTAGES OF STEEL AS A STRUCTURAL MATERIAL
• Susceptible to corrosion
• Less fire-resistance
• Maintenance cost is high
KRISHNENDU SIVADAS
11
Yet, why are steel buildings not common
in India?
• The primary reason is cost
• Requirement of uninterrupted power supply
• Need for transporting long steel sections to sites
• Need for large storage space for site materials
KRISHNENDU SIVADAS
• Unavailability of huge skilled workforce in steel construction

Choice of sections?
KRISHNENDU SIVADAS
28
Special considerations in steel design
Size and shape (choice of sections)
Buckling
• As the members in steel structure are more slender, the compression members in
steel structures are liable to buckling.
• In case of beams, there are chances of lateral buckling.
KRISHNENDU SIVADAS
• To account for buckling phenomenon, codes specify that part of section to be taken
as ineffective.
Minimum Thickness : IS 800-2007 specifications
Connection Designs : Riveted, bolted, welded

etc.
33
Load combinations (IS 800: 2007 Clause 3.5 page 16)
• Load combinations for design purposes shall be those that produce maximum forces
and effects and consequently maximum stresses and deformations.
• Dead load + imposed load
• Dead load + imposed load + wind or earthquake load
KRISHNENDU SIVADAS
• Dead load + wind or earthquake load
• Dead load+ erection load
Note:
• Wind load and earthquake loads shall not be assumed to act simultaneously. The
effect of each shall be considered separately (Clause 3.5.2)

36
Different design philosophies
Ultimate strength Design
• Structure is safe at ultimate load
• Strength of section is estimated from the ultimate strength of the section.
• Economic sections
KRISHNENDU SIVADAS
Working stress Design
• Structure serviceable at working load
KRISHNENDU SIVADAS
Limit state of serviceability
• Deals with conditions such as deflection, cracking of the structure under
service loads, durability, overall stability, vibration, fire resistance, fatigue
etc.
38
Characteristic values
• The limit state design should be based on characteristic values for material
strengths and applied loads.
• The characteristic values should be based on statistical data if available: where
such data are not available they should be based on experience
Design values
KRISHNENDU SIVADAS
• The 'design values' are derived from the characteristic values through the use of
partial safety factors, one for material strengths and the other for loads.
39
a) Characteristic Strength and design strength of Materials
• The term 'characteristic strength' means that value of the strength of the
material below which not more than 5 percent of the test results are
expected to fall.
• For steel it is taken as the ultimate strength
KRISHNENDU SIVADAS

• Design strength =

b) Characteristic loads and design loads
The term 'characteristic load' means that value of load which has a 95 percent
probability of not being exceeded during the life of the structure.

Connections
Types of connections:
• Rivet Joints
• Bolt joints
• Weld joints
KRISHNENDU SIVADAS
Requirements of good connection
• It should be rigid enough to avoid fluctuating stresses which may cause fatigue
failure.
• It should be such that there is the least possible weakening of the parts to be joined.
• It should be such that it can be easily installed, inspected and maintained.
3
Bolted Connections
Advantages
• Less manpower
• Easily fixable and removable
• Bolting operation is very silent in contrast
to hammering noise in riveting
KRISHNENDU SIVADAS
• Bolting is a cold process and hence no risk
of fire
Disadvantages
• Lesser strength in axial tension
• Cost of material high
• Get loosened when subjected to vibrations 4

Bolted connections
Uses of Bolted connections
• To connect tension and compression members
• To connect columns to the ground
KRISHNENDU SIVADAS
Load Transfer
• Load transfer in plate is through friction
• Load transfer in bolt is through bearing

Bearing bolt and Friction bolt
Bearing bolt is of two types: Friction bolts
Finished bolt: • High strength friction grip bolts
• Shank portion finished. • Made of high strength steel rod
• Also called turned bolt • Shank portion unfinished
• Proper bond with plates is established • Washers are provided in shank portion
KRISHNENDU SIVADAS
• It can take heavy or dynamic loads • Tightened using machines
Unfinished bolt :
• Shank portion unfinished.
• Also called black bolt
• No proper bond is established
• It can take only lighter loads

Bolt terminology
• Pitch (p) : Centre to centre distance
between two adjacent bolts in the same
direction of load
• Gauge distance (g) : It is the distance
between two adjacent bolt measured at
KRISHNENDU SIVADAS
right angles to the direction of load.
• Edge distance (e`) : It is the distance of
centre of bolt to the adjacent edge of the
plate
• End distance (e) : The distance of the
nearest bolt from the end of the plate.
10
Types of joints:
Depending upon arrangement of bolts and plates
Lap joint :
• When the plates overlap each other, it is called lap joint.
• Lap joint is the simplest type of joint.
KRISHNENDU SIVADAS
11
Butt joint:
• In this type of connections, the two main plates placed against each other and
connection is made by providing a single cover plate connected to main plate or by
double cover plate on either side of the main plate.
KRISHNENDU SIVADAS
12
Failure of bolted joints
KRISHNENDU SIVADAS
• Tensile failure of the bolt
• Bending failure of bolt
• Tensile failure of the plate
