Corrosion Of Galvanized Fasteners Used In Cold-Formed Steel Framing, Roger A. Laboube Oct 2006

Corrosion Of Galvanized Fasteners Used In Cold-Formed Steel Framing, Roger A. Laboube

American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) Specifications, Standards, Manuals and Research Reports (1946 - present)

The primary objective of this project was to study the effect of corrosion on the structural integrity of galvanized fasteners used in cold-formed steel-framed construction. A number of specific tasks were developed to meet this objective, including a literature search, design and construction of field enclosures, determination of test sites and installation of field enclosures, test specimen design and fabrication, accelerated corrosion testing, structural tensile testing, data analysis and technology transfer.

Comparison Of Aisi Specification Methods For Members With Single Intermediate Longitudinal Stiffeners, B. W. Schafer, Heejae Yang Jul 2006

Comparison Of Aisi Specification Methods For Members With Single Intermediate Longitudinal Stiffeners, B. W. Schafer, Heejae Yang

American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) Specifications, Standards, Manuals and Research Reports (1946 - present)

In the current AISI specification, there are two different methods for calculating the effective widths of longitudinally stiffened elements. The first method “B4.1” applies solely to the element with only one intermediate stiffener, whereas the second method “B5.1” works only for those elements with more than one intermediate stiffener. Both methods are accurate in finding the design moments if used appropriately. Although two methods are developed to handle different cases, for some sections with one intermediate stiffener, the second method also works accurately, giving the same result as the first method does for calculating design moments. For some other sections …


Direct Strength Method (Dsm) Design Guide, American Iron And Steel Institute Jun 2006

Direct Strength Method (Dsm) Design Guide, American Iron And Steel Institute

American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) Specifications, Standards, Manuals and Research Reports (1946 - present)

The following Design Guide has been developed under the direction of the American Iron and Steel Institute Committee on Specifications for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members. The development of the Guide was sponsored by the American Iron and Steel Institute. The AISI Committee on Specifications wishes to acknowledge and expresses gratitude to Dr. Benjamin Schafer of Johns Hopkins University who was the author of this Guide.

With anticipated improvements in understanding of the behavior of cold-formed steel and the continuing development of new technology, this material might become dated. It is possible that AISI will attempt to produce …
