Experimental Investigation Of Optimized Cold-Formed Steel Compression Members, D. J. Klingshirn, E. A. Sumner, N. A. Rahman Nov 2010

Experimental Investigation Of Optimized Cold-Formed Steel Compression Members, D. J. Klingshirn, E. A. Sumner, N. A. Rahman

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

In the past, standard C - shaped metal studs have been the only option for designers and contractors when selecting a cross section for load bearing compression members. T he sigma shaped section has recently emerged as an alternative to the C - section. The sigma shaped section is very similar to the C - shape, with the exception of having an intermediate web return and complex stiffeners. The experimental results of concentric axial compression tests of fifty - eight sigma shaped members are reported. Specimen s were tested at various lengths to force global, distortional, and local buckling failure …


Comparative Behavior Of Built-Up Cold-Formed Box Sections Under Rigid And Flexible End Support Conditions, W. Reyes, F. A. Guzman Nov 2010

Comparative Behavior Of Built-Up Cold-Formed Box Sections Under Rigid And Flexible End Support Conditions, W. Reyes, F. A. Guzman

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

According to section D1.2 of AISI S100-2007 for compression members composed of two sections in contact whose buckling mode involves shear forces in the connectors, a reduction must be made, KL r ⁄ must be replaced by ሺ KL r ⁄ሻ ୫ . This new modified slenderness ratio takes into account the connection weld spacing and the minimum radius of gyration of an individual shape in the built-up member. Under the provisions of section D1.2 a reduction in load capacity must be made for built-up welded box members, which are the subject of this study. An experimental investigation on 48 …


Theoretical Analysis Of Cold-Formed Steel Battened Double Angle Members Under Compression, W. F. Maia, J. Munaiar Neto, M. Malite Nov 2010

Theoretical Analysis Of Cold-Formed Steel Battened Double Angle Members Under Compression, W. F. Maia, J. Munaiar Neto, M. Malite

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

In Brazil, battened double angle system is one of the systems most used in light truss, however, there are not any specific studies on its behavior, resulting in the fact that the standard procedures do not provide subsidies for the design of this section. Moreover, cold-formed steel si mple angles under compression, mostly with slender legs, have an interesting structural behavior compared to other cold-formed steel shapes. Two critical modes are observed in the elastic stability analysis: (i) global flexural mode in the case of longer members and (ii) a coincident local-plate/global flexural-torsional mode, which is critical for shorter members. …


Direct Strength Design Of Cold-Formed C-Sections For Shear, Cao Hung Pham, Gregory J. Hancock Nov 2010

Direct Strength Design Of Cold-Formed C-Sections For Shear, Cao Hung Pham, Gregory J. Hancock

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

The Direct Strength Method (DSM) rece ntly included in the North American Specification and Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 4600:2005 gives design rules for compression and bending. No rules are presente d at this stage for shear. Two series of tests on C-section can be used to develop and calibrate rules for design in shear. These are the University of Missouri Rolla tests of the 1970’s and recent tests on high strength C-sections at the University of Sydney. Both series of tests use a similar test rig altho ugh different levels of tension field action have been observed. Two features research …


Direct Strength Design Of Cold-Formed C-Sections In Combined Bending And Shear, Cao Hung Pham, Gregory J. Hancock Nov 2010

Direct Strength Design Of Cold-Formed C-Sections In Combined Bending And Shear, Cao Hung Pham, Gregory J. Hancock

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

The paper describes a research program including tests on both plain C- and SupaCee ® purlin sections in combined bending and shear, and bending only. The high strength SupaCee ® profile steel sections contain additional return lips and web stiffeners which enhance the bending and shear capacity of the sections. They are used widely in Austra lia as purlins in roof and wall systems. The tests were performed at the University of Sydney with and without straps on the flange and thus allowed distortional buckling in the latter case. Design methods for these sections are normally specified in the Australian/New …


On The Direct Strength Design Of Continuous Cold-Formed Steel Beams, Cilmar Basaglia, Dinar Camotim Nov 2010

On The Direct Strength Design Of Continuous Cold-Formed Steel Beams, Cilmar Basaglia, Dinar Camotim

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

The work reported in this paper concerns an ongoing investigation aimed at developing an efficient methodology to design continuous cold-formed steel beams failing in modes that combine local, distortional and global features. At this stage, it is intended to assess how accurately can the load-carrying capacity of lipped channel continuous (two and three-span) beams subjected to non-uniform bending be predicted by means of the current Direct Strength Method (DSM) design curves. “Exact” ultimate strength values yielded by geometrically and materially non-linear shell finite element analyses are compared with estimates provided by the DSM equations and, on the basis of this …


Cross-Aisle Stiffness Tests On Rack Upright Frames, S. R. Sajja, R. G. Beale, M. H. R. Godley Nov 2010

Cross-Aisle Stiffness Tests On Rack Upright Frames, S. R. Sajja, R. G. Beale, M. H. R. Godley

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

The US Rack Manufacturers Institution (RMI) code uses a theoretical formula derived by Timoshenko and the new Eurocode EN15512 requires testing. There is a considerable difference in the stiffn ess values determined by two approaches. This paper describes the experiments conducted on 80 full sized upright frames at Oxford Brookes University varying upright size, number of panels in the frame, aspect ratio of the panel (panel length/depth), restraints at the intermediate nodes of the frame, loading pattern, lacing pattern (channels back to back or front to front) and bolt tightness. The experimental data reported can be used in proposing revised …


Frame Analysis And Design Of Industrial Cold-Formed Steel Racks, Teoman Pekoz, Ali Karakaplan, Ali Koç Nov 2010

Frame Analysis And Design Of Industrial Cold-Formed Steel Racks, Teoman Pekoz, Ali Karakaplan, Ali Koç

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

Industrial cold-formed steel racks have semi-rigid joints between the columns and beams. Frame analysis of such structures call for special considerations that are studied in this paper. The current design approach uses a linear idealization of the moment-rotation relation relationship based on an empirically decided secant to the nonlinear moment rotation curve. This study presents a refined analytical approach to the analysis such frames using the state-of-art finite elemen t based nonlinear analysis program LARSA 4D. Parametric studies are carri ed out to obtain an accurate design approach for usin g computer programs that treat linear moment-rotation relationships.

An Examination Of The Relationship Between Self-Compassion And Burnout In Practicing Psychotherapists : A Project Based Upon An Independent Investigation, Jennifer Ann Thurlow Nov 2010

An Examination Of The Relationship Between Self-Compassion And Burnout In Practicing Psychotherapists : A Project Based Upon An Independent Investigation, Jennifer Ann Thurlow

Theses, Dissertations, and Projects

Burnout is particularly a problem among people whose work involves responding to human suffering; therefore, without adequate personal resources to draw from, psychotherapists are especially at risk. Self-compassion is a powerful coping skill, thus therapists may be protected from burnout through the practice. The purpose of this study was to examine how self-compassion is related to burnout in practicing psychotherapists. It was hypothesized that higher total self-compassion scores would be associated with lower scores on the burnout subscales of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization and that higher scores of total self-compassion would be associated with higher scores on the burnout subscale …

Intrinsic Electron Glassiness In Strongly Localized Be Films, Z. Ovadyahu, Y. M. Xiong, P. W. Adams Nov 2010

Intrinsic Electron Glassiness In Strongly Localized Be Films, Z. Ovadyahu, Y. M. Xiong, P. W. Adams

Faculty Publications

We present results of out-of-equilibrium transport measurements made on strongly localized Beryllium films and demonstrate that these films exhibit all the earmarks of intrinsic electron glasses. These include slow (logarithmic) relaxation, memory effects, and more importantly, the observation of a memory dip that has a characteristic width compatible with the carrier concentration of beryllium. The latter is an empirical signature of the electron glass. Comparing various nonequilibrium attributes of the beryllium films with other systems that exhibit intrinsic electron-glasses behavior reveals that high carrier concentration is their only common feature rather than the specifics of the disorder that rendered them …

Robert Leonard Christensen Oral History Interview, Robert Leonard Christensen Nov 2010

Robert Leonard Christensen Oral History Interview, Robert Leonard Christensen

Oculina Bank Oral History Project

Oral history interview with former commercial fisherman Robert Christensen. Christensen began fishing with his father when he was a teenager and eventually began running his father's boat on his own. The Oculina Bank was one of their main fishing areas and the source of 50 percent of their income. The increasing regulations to the area had a negative effect on their fishing, to the extent that, in 1998, they had to sell their boat. After that, Christensen became a plumber and worked at other land jobs, including in a fish market. Christensen is opposed to closed areas but accepts limits, …
