A Study Of Single Angle Compression Members, James Robert Callaway
A Study Of Single Angle Compression Members, James Robert Callaway
Dissertations and Theses
A study was undertaken to investigate the compressive capacity of a specific group of single angle members.
A review of existing literature and techniques was presented. Laboratory compression tests were performed on 22 angle members of four different sizes and two different lengths. Additional tests were performed to determine the yield strength of the material. The results, normalized with respect to the yield stress, were tabulated and discussed.
Two existing analytic models were used to attempt to predict the ultimate capacity of the test members. The first, an elastic method, was based upon the AISC combined stress equation. The second, …
