Testing And Evaluation Of Light Gauge Steel Frame / 9.5 Mm Csp Wood Panel Shear Walls, David Rokas

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

The use of light gauge steel framing elements sheathed with wood plywood or oriented strand board are becoming more common in the construction of structural shear walls for low-rise platform frame structural systems in Canada. Canadian standards and codes do not currently outline design methods for this type of wall system. Therefore, research at McGill University is underway to help develop design parameters for seismic and wind loading that can be used in conjunction with the 2005 National Building Code of Canada for this type of shear wall system. The research is based on the monotonic and reversed cyclic testing …

Design Of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members And Connections For Cyclic Loading (Fatigue), Roger A. Laboube, Wei-Wen Yu

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

PREFACE Fatigue in a structural steel member or connection is the process of initiation and subsequent growth of a crack under the action of a cyclic or repetitive load. The fatigue process commonly occurs at a stress level less than the static failure condition. Although fatigue design guidelines have existed for hot-rolled steel structural members and connection, there have been no generally accepted design guidelines in the AISI Specification for addressing fatigue in a cold-formed steel member or connection. Therefore, the intent of the research reported herein was to develop general design rules for design of cold-formed steel members and …

Design Of Automotive Structural Components Using High Strength Sheet Steels Transformed Section Method For The Calculation Of Yield Moment Of Cold-Formed Steel Hybrid Beams, Chi-Ling Pan, Wei-Wen Yu

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

INTRODUCTION It has been recognized that material properties and stress-strain relationships of sheet steel can be influenced by the strain rate. Because the member strength is also influenced by dynamic loading, a large number of research projects were conducted for a variety of structural members under specified loading conditions during past three decades. 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 …

Design Of Automotive Structural Components Using High Strength Sheet Steels Mechanical Properties Of Materials (Aging Effect), Shaojie Wu, Chi-Ling Pan, Wei-Wen Yu

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

INTRODUCTION It has been known for years that mechanical properties of thin sheet steels, such as yield strength, tensile strength, and ductility, are affected by aging (Chajes et al. 1963, Hertzberg 1989, Yu 1991). The aging effect on mechanical properties can be described as follows. For a virgin steel that is initially loaded in tension beyond its yield strength and into strain hardening state and then unloaded to zero stress, the yield and tensile strengths of the steel increase while the ductility of the steel decreases if the steel is reloaded in tension again after a period of time from …
