Direct Strength Prediction Of Cold-Formed Steel Beam-Columns, American Iron And Steel Institute Oct 2016

Direct Strength Prediction Of Cold-Formed Steel Beam-Columns, American Iron And Steel Institute

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

The Direct Strength Method (DSM) of cold-formed steel member design employs local, distortional, and global cross-section elastic buckling analysis with empirically derived “direct” expressions to predict member strength. DSM is an accepted design method in national design specifications (e.g., AISI-S100-16) and enables a unified, robust, and flexible design approach. However, for beam-columns DSM in current design specifications employs simplified linear interaction expressions based on combining the isolated axial and bending elastic buckling and strength response. Today, local, distortional, and global elastic buckling under any combination of axial load and bending moments may be found using elastic buckling analysis tools such …


Characterization Of Cfs Framed Diaphragm Behavior, American Iron And Steel Institute Aug 2016

Characterization Of Cfs Framed Diaphragm Behavior, American Iron And Steel Institute

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

Knowledge of the in-plane response to loading of cold-formed steel (CFS) framed diaphragm structures is essential for seismic and wind design. The information available specific to diaphragm design in the North American CFS design standards (AISI S240 & S400) is based on limited experimental work and the extrapolation of design methods developed for the wood industry. To address this shortcoming a test-based research project was performed in the Jamieson Structures Laboratory at McGill University focusing on the characterization of the behaviour under in-plane loading of CFS framed - wood sheathed diaphragms. This research was a complementary study to a research …


Resistance Of Arc Spot Welds -- Update To Provisions, American Iron And Steel Institute Feb 2016

Resistance Of Arc Spot Welds -- Update To Provisions, American Iron And Steel Institute

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

The provisions of the AISI S100-12 standard for strength of arc spot welds loaded in shear and tension have not been revised since the 1999 standard. Since then, four new research studies have created and tested arc spot welded connections, expanding the database of available tests. Therefore, a reconsideration of both the resistance equations and the resistance and safety factors using the enlarged data base was undertaken. This study performed a comprehensive analysis of the entire arc spot weld data base, where 450 specimens were categorized by their respective failure modes to assess current AISI S100-12 resistance equations. Performance of …


Resistance Of Arc Spot Welds – Update To Provisions, B. Paige Blackburn, Thomas Sputo, Cevyn Meyer Feb 2016

Resistance Of Arc Spot Welds – Update To Provisions, B. Paige Blackburn, Thomas Sputo, Cevyn Meyer

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

The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) Standards Council selected this project as one of four winning research proposals for its 2015 Small Project Fellowship Program. Project selections were based on several factors, including the potential for long-term impact on the industry; steel industry engagement and co-funding; and results for the AISI standards development committee, the student, and the academic institution. The objective of this project was to evaluate the provisions for determining the strength of arc spot welds in light of recent research studies. It is anticipated that the results of this study will impact the provisions in future …
