Prediction Of Corner Mechanical Properties For Stainless Steels Due To Cold Forming, P. Van Der Merwe, G. J. Van Den Berg Oct 1992

Prediction Of Corner Mechanical Properties For Stainless Steels Due To Cold Forming, P. Van Der Merwe, G. J. Van Den Berg

CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)

The results of a study of the degree of workhardening on stainless steel Types 304, 409, 430 and Type 3CR12 corrosion resisting steel due to cold work of forming are presented in this paper. Analytical inelastic stress-strain relationships are established for virgin tensile specimens. An equation for predicting the yield strength of comers are developed.

Some Applications Of Generalized Beam Theory, J. Michael Davies, Philip Leach Oct 1992

Some Applications Of Generalized Beam Theory, J. Michael Davies, Philip Leach

CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)

Generalised Beam Theory (GBT) has been developed by Professor R Schardt and his colleagues at the University of Darmstadt in Germany. The definitive reference at the present time is a recent German text(1) which describes the first-order theory. For the analysis of cold-formed sections, second-order theory may be required and this is less well documented. This paper will attempt to describe the principles involved and illustrate them by means of some practical examples. GBT unifies the conventional theories for the analysis of prismatic thin-walled structural members within a consistent notation. It then extends them into new territory. Conventional beam theory …


The Lateral Torsional Buckling Strength Of Cold-Formed Stainless Steel Lipped Channel Beams, P. Van Der Merwe, P. J. Bredenkamp, G. J. Van Den Berg Oct 1992

The Lateral Torsional Buckling Strength Of Cold-Formed Stainless Steel Lipped Channel Beams, P. Van Der Merwe, P. J. Bredenkamp, G. J. Van Den Berg

CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)

The findings of an investigation into the lateral buckling strength of cold-formed singly-symmetric stainless steel beams are reported in this study. The singly-symmetric sections under consideration were lipped channel sections fabricated from a modified AISI stainless steel Type 409 designated 3CR12, a ferritic corrosion resisting steel. The purpose of this study was to compare the experimental strengths of singly-symmetric sections to the theoretical predictions proposed by the new ASCE Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Stainless Steel Structural Members. It was concluded in this investigation that the tangent modulus approach adopted in the design specification for stainless steels, compared well …


Testing And Design Of Bolted Connections In Cold Formed Steel Sections, F. Zadanfarrokh, E. R. Bryan Oct 1992

Testing And Design Of Bolted Connections In Cold Formed Steel Sections, F. Zadanfarrokh, E. R. Bryan

CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)

A detailed analysis of the strength and rigidity of bolted connections in cold formed steel has been carried out. Design expressions are proposed that improve on the existing equations for bearing strength, and for the first time, quantify the rigidity of such connections. The effects on the design of bolted joints are described and it is shown how, by incorporating the proposed expressions, it is now possible to select the correct semirigid joint and achieve economy without having to resort to testing.


Design Of C-Sections Against Deformational Lip Buckling, D. Buhagiar, J. C. Chapman, P. J. Dowling Oct 1992

Design Of C-Sections Against Deformational Lip Buckling, D. Buhagiar, J. C. Chapman, P. J. Dowling

CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)

Deformational lip buckling is one of the considerations affecting the choice of cross-section dimensions which were adopted for the C-sectlon chord members of a space frame system. No guidance on lip buckling of channel sections is given in the current British design specification. A method was therefore required for determining the lip buckling resistance of the members when subjected to axial compression or bending. A design procedure was formulated in which the lips are represented as a strut on an elastic foundation, the stiffness of which depends on the deformational stiffness of the section. The critical buckling stress and the …


New Asce Standards For Cold-Formed Steel Deck Slabs, Max L. Porter Oct 1992

New Asce Standards For Cold-Formed Steel Deck Slabs, Max L. Porter

CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)

This paper presents highlights of the newly approved and printed ASCE Standard on the design and construction of composite floor deck slabs utilizing cold-formed steel. In 1992 four documents are being published including the following: • "Standard for the Structural Design of Composite Slabs"--ASCE3-92, • "Standard Practice for Construction and Inspection of Composite Slabs"-ASCE9-92, and • A separate commentary on each of the two above Standards. These above four documents stem from a previously published ASCE Standard entitled "Specifications for the Design and Construction of Composite Slabs" and the associated commentary thereon. The Steel Deck with Concrete Committee of the …


Recent Developments In Cold Formed Steel, Robert W. Dannemann Oct 1992

Recent Developments In Cold Formed Steel, Robert W. Dannemann

CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)

During the last fifteen years the author has been working in the development of new products in cold formed steel, mainly in building applications. Cold formed steel makes possible practically an infinite variety of shapes, one for each need and function. This possibility is a continuous challenge for designers in finding, among many alternatives, the optimal solution for each problem. The author describes briefly a set of six proposals, which are either an already tested and proven product, or just its phase of design. As in any human doing, the author is conscious that these proposals may be accomplished and …


The 1989 Edition Of The Canadian Cold Formed Steel Design Standard, R. M. Schuster Oct 1992

The 1989 Edition Of The Canadian Cold Formed Steel Design Standard, R. M. Schuster

CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)

This paper presents excerpts from the latest edition of the Canadian Standard for the design of cold formed steel structural members (CAN/CSA-SI36-M89). Considerable technical changes, reflecting the latest research developments, have been incorporated into this edition of the Standard. These changes are based on an increased understanding of the behaviour of cold formed steel structures, members, and elements and of cold formed steel as a structural material. Some of the more significant technical changes of the Standard are discussed in greater detail. Comparisons with the Standard's predecessor (CAN3-S136-M84), and whenever appropriate, with the 1986 AISI Specifications are also made.


Unstiffened Elements - Some Interesting Features, J. Rhodes Oct 1992

Unstiffened Elements - Some Interesting Features, J. Rhodes

CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)

The behaviour of members composed of unstiffened elements is examined with reference to three different sets of test results, on angle section struts, Tee section beams and shallow Vee section beams. The test results are explained on the basis of fairly simple analysis, and the variations of the behaviour from that predicted by modem design codes is discussed.


Tests On Full-Scale Roofing Systems, D. B. Moore Oct 1992

Tests On Full-Scale Roofing Systems, D. B. Moore

CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)

This report details an experimental investigation on three full-scale, cold-formed steel roofing systems. The test programme included both uniformly and variably distributed loadings representative of drifting snow. Comparisons between the performance of each roof subject to these distributions are made and recommendations for the design of roofs loaded with variably distributed loads are presented. Finally observations on the tests to failure are discussed.
