Channel And Z-Sections Braced By Diaphragms, Nuri Celebi, George Winter
Channel And Z-Sections Braced By Diaphragms, Nuri Celebi, George Winter
CCFSS Library (1939 - present)
The behavior of thin-walled cold formed channel and Z-sections, braced on their upper flange by light-gage steel diaphragms under static loading is studied. The objective of the study is to obtain mathematical solutions, to verify these solutions by tests, and to derive design formulations for the bending behavior of channel and Z-section beams with various boundary conditions. This type of structural element is encountered as purlins and girts to support the roof cover and siding of metal buildings. The roof cover is connected to the upper flange of the purlins and gives rise to the case of braced compression flange …
Cold-Rolled Austenitic Stainless Steel: Materials Properties And Structural Performance, George Winter, S. T. Wang
Cold-Rolled Austenitic Stainless Steel: Materials Properties And Structural Performance, George Winter, S. T. Wang
CCFSS Library (1939 - present)
The cold reduction in thickness of austenitic stainless steel sheet brings about the following significant characteristics of material properties: 1) higher strength with an increasing amount of cold working, 2) more pronounced anisotropic material properties with increasing cold working, 3) stress strain relations different in tension and compression and depending on directions, and 4) nonlinear stress strain curves with relatively low elastic limits, especially in longitudinal compression. In addition, local buckling is encountered in thin walled structural members. These are the problems associated with the structural design of stainless steel members. The purpose of this investigation is to develop the …

Aspects Of The Effects Of Cold-Forming On The Properties And Performance Of Light-Gage Structural Members, Jairo Uribe, George Winter
CCFSS Library (1939 - present)
INTRODUCTION General Background Cold-Formed Steel Construction constitutes today an industry of significant importance. Its products supplement the usual hot-rolled steel structural members and can be divided into two broad categories: a) structural sections whose main purpose is to carry loads, and b) panels and decks which in addition should provide useful surfaces or serve other functions. Cold-formed steel structural members are made of hot rolled or cold reduced sheet or strip steel by any of the cold-forming methods described below. Thicknesses range in general from No. 28 Gage (0.0149 in.) to No. 10 Gage (0.1345 in.) but some formed shapes …

Three-Bolt In-Line Connections With Low Ductility Light-Gage Steel, D. W. Popowich, S. J. Errera, George Winter
CCFSS Library (1939 - present)
INTRODUCTION In order to investigate the influence of ductility on the strength and behavior of bolted connections, Dhallal (1) conducted tests on single bolt lap joints using "low ductility" steels. As part of a separate investigation, Popowich (2) conducted tests on single, double, and triple bolt in-line lap joints using "high ductility" steels. The investigation reported herein was performed in order to compare the performance of 3 bolt in-line connections of high ductility steels (21 to 53% elongation in a 2 inch gage length) with that of similar 3 bolt in-line connections of low ductility steels (nominally 5 and 10% …
