Simplified Steel Compression Member Design
The objective of this paper is to present a simplified method of designing steel columns subjected to axial loads and moments for use in situations where automated design methods are inappropriate....
Code Designed Steel Frame Performance Characteristics
Three similar steel ductile moment-resisting frame structures designed in accordance to the Uniform Building Code (1976-1985) are evaluated for their performance characteristics during...
Lateral Impedance of Contact Pile Foundations
The static and dynamic lateral impedance of pile foundations for which there is continuous contact between the bottom of the pilecap and the underlying soil is investigated. A parametric...
Prediction and Measurement of Wind Response: Case Story of a Wind Sensitive Building
The wind-induced horizontal accelerations of a 43 story office tower in New York City were monitored during 11 occasions over a period of about six months. The building dates back to the...
Anchorage Forces for Z-Purlin Supported Standing Seam Roof Systems
This paper presents the results of a limited study to determine if the provisions of Section D. 3. 2. 1 'Anchorage Bracing for Roof Systems Under Load with Top Flange Connected...
Rational Design Approach for Tension on the Net Section
A study of the bearing and net section capacities of bolt connections for material thicknesses encountered in cold-formed members was conducted. This paper summarizes the findings as they...
Stability and Limit Loads of Steel Space Trusses
An investigation of the behavior of cold-formed steel space truss structures, under the interaction of local, member, and overall buckling is described. A Finite Element computer program...
Flexibly Connected Thin-Walled Steel Frame Response
The static response of flexibly connected plane frames composed of thin-walled steel members is presented. Analysis capabilities include post-local-buckling strength and elastic semi-rigid...
Bending Strength of Thin Cold-Formed Steel Straight Panels
An experimental investigation on the bending strength of 26 gage cold-formed corrugated steel straight panels with web-depth to thickness (h/t) ratio of 475 is presented. A typical test...
Multiple Bolt Row Moment End-Plates
This paper presents a portion of the results of a study to develop design procedures for the extended, multiple row, moment end-plate configuration. This configuration is used in steel...
On Steel Connection Data Bank at Purdue University
The aim of the establishment of the steel beam-to-column connection data bank program at Purdue University in 1986 was to provide the necessary data base for the determination of the moment-rotation...
Moment Rotation Curves for Double Framing Angles
Moment-rotation curves for bolted framed steel connections are derived from force-deflection data obtained from laboratory tension and compression tests of angle segments. These derived...
Practical Analysis of Flexibly-Connected Building Frames
Modeling of flexible connection behavior as elastic-perfectly plastic is proposed for analysis of building frames, and results based on this idealization are compared with fully non-linear...
Centrally Loaded Columns
The paper has given a detailed description of the chapter on centrally loaded columns that will appear in the 4th Edition of the Structural Stability Research Council 'Guide...
Circular Tubes and Shells 4th Edition of SSRC Guide
The 3rd edition of the Guide was the first to have a chapter devoted to Cylindrical Tubes and Shells. Chapter 14 in the 4th edition is a major revision of Chapter 10 in the previous edition....
Effect of Connector Spacing on Double Angle Compressive Strength
The 1986 AISC 'Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) Specification for Structural Steel Buildings' includes new rules affecting the design of built-up members...
Fracture-Mechanics-Based Fatigue Life Estimate
Fatigue lives of tee-shaped weldments are estimated using fracture mechanics concepts and crack growth rate data. Fracture mechanics is used to develop an approximate expression for stress...
Dynamic Fracture Toughness of Rail Steels
As new premium alloy rail steels exhibit increased wear resistance and as track lubrication is used, the failure mode for rails is shifting from wear to fatigue. Elastodynamic finite element...
Fatigue Design Criteria for Welded Steel Details
A review of fatigue data and reassessment of the 1983 fatigue specification resistance functions has been conducted. Since the AASHTO specification fatigue resistance provisions were introduced...
A Fatigue Study of Prestressing Strand
Strand fatigue data reported in the literature and also from recent tests were combined to form a data base of strand fatigue data which was analyzed using regression analysis techniques....
