Strength Of Flexural Members Using Structural Grade 80 Of A653 And Grade E Of A611 Steels, Shaojie Wu, Wei-Wen Yu, Roger A. Laboube Oct 1995

Strength Of Flexural Members Using Structural Grade 80 Of A653 And Grade E Of A611 Steels, Shaojie Wu, Wei-Wen Yu, Roger A. Laboube

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

This first progress report reviews earlier research on ASTM A653 Structural Grade 80 steel (formerly ASTM A446 Grade E) and similar steels used for cold-formed structural members, and summarizes the results of the tension coupon tests recently carried out at the University of Missouri-Rolla. The review focuses on experimental study and structural performance of members made of such steels, including ultimate strength of structural members as affected by the increases in yield strength of base metal, reduction in ductility of base metal, thickness of base metal, flat width-to-thickness ratio of elements, type of deck profile, and base metal rolling direction. …

INTRODUCTION In cold-formed steel design, local buckling is one of the major design features because of the use of large width-to-thickness ratios for compression elements. For the purpose of determining the load-carrying capacity of automotive components, the effective width approach has been used. In view of the fact that the design criteria for effective design width included in the AISI Automotive Steel Design Manual 1 are based on the test results for static loading condition, an investigation was conducted at University of Missouri-Rolla from January 1988 through December 1991 to study the validity of these effective design width formulas for …


Behavior Of Cold-Formed Steel Roof Trusses, Michael M. Harper, Roger A. Laboube, Wei-Wen Yu May 1995

Behavior Of Cold-Formed Steel Roof Trusses, Michael M. Harper, Roger A. Laboube, Wei-Wen Yu

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

PREFACE To aid in adapting cold-formed steel to the residential market, a research project was initiated in 1993 at the University of Missouri-Rolla. Design issues relating to the use of cold-formed steel members and connections in residential roof truss systems were the focus of the project. The purpose of this research was to study the behavior of cold-formed steel roof truss systems and to establish appropriate design recommendations. Overall, the research findings were intended to aid the promotion of cold-formed steel as a safe, serviceable, and cost effective alternative in residential construction. The project consisted of a review of available …


The Effect Of Flange Restraint On Web Crippling Strength Of Cold-Formed Steel Z- And I-Sections, Darryl E. Cain, Roger A. Laboube, Wei-Wen Yu May 1995

The Effect Of Flange Restraint On Web Crippling Strength Of Cold-Formed Steel Z- And I-Sections, Darryl E. Cain, Roger A. Laboube, Wei-Wen Yu

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

PREFACE When considering the web crippling strength of a cold-formed steel member, the current edition of the AISI Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members does not distinguish between the behavior of a member having its flanges attached to a support member, and a member not attached to its support. To enhance the industry and design professional's understanding of web crippling, a study was initiated at the University of Missouri-Rolla to explore the influence of flange attachment. This research consisted of web crippling tests on identical specimens. The specimens were tested where either cross sections were attached to …
