Experimental Determination Of Post-Buckling Performance Of Steel Angles, Rupasiri Purasinghe Sep 1981

Experimental Determination Of Post-Buckling Performance Of Steel Angles, Rupasiri Purasinghe

Dissertations and Theses

An experimental testing program was conducted to determine the compression member performance in post-buckling region. These results are compared with an analytical computer program developed by Portland State University under Bonneville Power Administration Contract 79-80BP 24005. The paper presents the sensitivity of the performance of single angle compression members to various parameters such as length to radius of gyration ratio, eccentricity, end conditions and yield stress. The effect of local buckling on long member performance is also documented.


Web Crippling And Combined Web Crippling And Bending Of Steel Decks, Wei-Wen Yu Apr 1981

Web Crippling And Combined Web Crippling And Bending Of Steel Decks, Wei-Wen Yu

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

INTRODUCTION A. General During the period of October 1968 through September 1980, the 1968 Edition of the AISI Specification was used for the design of steel deck webs that could withstand web crippling and combined web crippling and bending. (1) The design formulas used to prevent web crippling were developed primarily on the basis of tests conducted in the 1940's and 1950's at Cornell University. (2-4) Recently, new types of cold-formed steel sections have been developed and used in building construction. The use of unusual geometric configurations has complicated the design of such members. In order to develop new design …


Behavior Of C- And Z-Purlins Under Wind Uplift, Parviz Soroushian, Teoman Peköz Feb 1981

Behavior Of C- And Z-Purlins Under Wind Uplift, Parviz Soroushian, Teoman Peköz

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

INTRODUCTION Cold-formed steel lipped channel (C-) and Z-purlins are used widely in the roofs of metal buildings. They are easy and economical to fabricate and erect. However these sections are weak in the lateral direction and in torsion. In order to use their full bending capacity in the strong direction, they must be braced in the lateral direction and against twisting. Roof panels which are connected to the purlins do provide to some extent such bracing effect by virtue of their shear rigidity and resistance to local bending at the connections. Wind uplift is an important design condition for roof …

Fire Protection Through Modern Day Building Codes, D. F. Boring, James C. Spence, Walter G. Wells Jan 1981

Fire Protection Through Modern Day Building Codes, D. F. Boring, James C. Spence, Walter G. Wells

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

In this edition, fire protection regulations are not included and requirements of model codes and recommendations of code writing organizations are cited in the text. Much progress has been made in building construction techniques and in material development since the publication of the First Edition in 1944. While this Fifth Edition reflects that progress, it adheres to its original purpose to help develop construction standards for safeguarding life and property from fire.


Steel Deck Institute Diaphragm Design Manual First Edition, Larry D. Luttrell Jan 1981

Steel Deck Institute Diaphragm Design Manual First Edition, Larry D. Luttrell

Steel Deck Institute (SDI) Specifications and Manuals (1939 - present)

The Major Units Laboratory at West Virginia University has been involved in full-scale diaphragm studies for the past fifteen years. The work has covered tests on a wide range of deck panel types, metal building wall systems, panels with insulating concrete fill, and plywood assemblies, all used as diaphragms, and under static, cyclic, and dynamic loading. Connection performance, critical to diaphragm behavior, has been evaluated through an extensive test program covering arc-spot (puddle) welds, different types of screws, and power driven pins. These have established fastener strength limits and have been especially important for defining fastener flexibility factors.
