Let the maximum force along longitudinal direction = 340.48 kN

Let the maximum force along transverse direction = 749.93 kN

Maximum direct longitudinal shear stress in weld =

340.48 x 1000 / ( 6114.1 )

Capacity of the shear key from concrete tension consideration :

[ As per ACI-318, considered that the stress distribution in concrete is in 45 deg. ]

Along longitudinal direction :

At side surface of the concrete pedestal,

height of the projected area = 175 + ( 650 - 203.6 ) / 2
= 398.2 mm
width of the projected area = smaller of
= 203.2 + ( 650 - 203.6 ) and 650
= 649.6 mm

Area of concrete under tension = 398.20 x 649.60 - 203.2 x 175

= 223110.72 Sq.mm 1

Corresponding tensile capacity = 223110.72 x 1.380

= 307892.8 N
= 307.893 kN

Along transverse direction :

At side surface of the concrete pedestal,

height of the projected area = 175 + ( 650 - 203.2 ) / 2
= 398.4 mm
width of the projected area = smaller of
= 203.6 + ( 650 - 203.2 ) and 650
= 650 mm
Area of concrete under tension = 398.40 x 650.00 - 203.6 x 175
= 223330 Sq.mm 1

Corresponding tensile capacity = 223330.00 x 1.380

= 308195.4 N
= 308.195 kN

Capacity of the shear key section for shear and bending :

Section classification:
b= 101.8 mm
T= 11 mm
Therefore, b/T = 9.25
and  = 1.05 Class 1 Plastic
(As per Table 11, BS5950-1: 2000)
 For shear along longitudinal direction :

Max shear along this direction = 300 kN

Bending moment (Mzz) due to this shear = 300 x (175 / 2 + 25 )
= 33.75 kN-M
Max shear capacity along long direction = 150 x Av
Av = 0.9 x 203.6 x 11 x 2
= 4031.28 mm2
Hence long shear capcity = 604.69 kN low shear

Moment capacity about Z-Z = 250 x 231 / 1000 =

= 57.75 kN-M o.k. = d Sv =

For shear along transverse direction :

Max shear along this direction = 93 kN

Bending moment (Mxx) due to this shear = 93 x (175 / 2 + 25 )
= 10.46 kN-M
Max shear capacity along transverse direction = 150 x Av
Av = 203.2 x 7.2
= 1463.04 mm2
Hence transverse shear capcity = 219.46 kN low shear

Moment capacity about X-X = 250 x 497 / 1000 =

= 124.25 kN-M o.k. = d Sv =

Interaction ratio for moment:

Muz/Mall + Mux/Mall
= 0.58 + 0.08 = 0.66 <=1,o.k.

Hence shear key capacity :

Along longitudinal direction = Smaller of
640.08 , 340.4799 , 307.893 , 604.69 kN
= 307.89 kN

Along transverse direction = Smaller of

641.34 , 749.9341 & 308.195 , 219.46 kN
= 219.46 kN
