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