Optimal Width And Depth For Maximum Breaking Load Of Wood Beams, Steven H. Bullard, Vikram Yadama Jan 1991

Optimal Width And Depth For Maximum Breaking Load Of Wood Beams, Steven H. Bullard, Vikram Yadama

Faculty Publications

The strength of solid wood beams is an important property to consider in construction. Such beams do not receive further primary processing after leaving the sawmill, and their quality and strength properties are therefore determined by their initial, primary breakdown at the sawmill. The most efficient means of controlling the quality of solid wood beams is thus at the sawmill level. This paper presents a method of determining the width and depth of solid beams that will maximize breaking load.

Instability And Collapse Behavior Of A Seismic Structure, Franklin Y. Cheng, Jeng Fuh Ger Jan 1991

Instability And Collapse Behavior Of A Seismic Structure, Franklin Y. Cheng, Jeng Fuh Ger

Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

The collapse behavior of a 22-story steel building during the September 19, 1985, Mexico earthquake is investigated by studying hysteretic behavior, ductility factors of individual structural components, and overall instability of the building. The hysteresis models for truss-type girders, bracing members, and box columns to be used in the inelastic analysis of this building are developed. A series of inelastic analyses have been performed for the building by using the multicomponent seismic input of actual Mexico City earthquake records. It was found that the structural response exceeds the original design ductility of this building because most girders in the building …

Uplift Capacity Of Z-Purlins, Roger A. Laboube Jan 1991

Uplift Capacity Of Z-Purlins, Roger A. Laboube

Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Roof systems constructed using cold-formed steel components, i.e., Z-shaped purlins and interconnected roof panels, have become a very popular form of construction. This roof system is used extensively for single-story commercial and industrial buildings in the United States. The popularity of cold-formed steel members is due in part to their superior gravity load strength-to-weight ratio; however, because of their relatively light weight, a cold-formed member is very susceptible to wind uplift loading. The design specification in the United States for cold-formed steel construction does not provide a comprehensive analytical solution to the problem of wind uplift strength of a cold-formed …
