An Analysis Of The Behavior Of Steel Liner Anchorages, Daryl R. Armentrout
An Analysis Of The Behavior Of Steel Liner Anchorages, Daryl R. Armentrout
Doctoral Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to analyze the load-deflection behavior of liner anchorage systems used in the design and construction of steel-lined concrete containment structures in nuclear power plants. Both and angle, 3 x 3 x 1/4 inch, and structural tee, WT 4X7.5, embedded in concrete were analyzed using two dimensional plane stress finite element models. Specifically the PAFEC 75 computer program with its bilinear stress-strain capability was used. The intent of this investigation was to produce analytically similar results to those measured in anchorage tests conducted by The University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
These tests produced curves of the …

Load And Resistance Factor Design Of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members, Boonsong Supornsilaphachai
Doctoral Dissertations
"In a traditional design, the Allowable Stress method has long been used for the design of cold-formed steel structures. In this design approach, the allowable stress is always used to prevent the possible structural failure by using an appropriate factor of safety selected primarily on the basis of engineering judgment and long-time experience.
Recently, the concepts of risk and reliability analysis have been successfully applied to many fields of engineering. By applying the theories of probability and statistics, the load and resistance design criteria for steel structures have been developed for the design of hot-rolled steel shapes and built-up members. …
