Load And Resistance Factor Design Of Cold-Formed Steel Reliability Based Criteria For Cold-Formed Steel Members, Ling-En Hsiao, Wei-Wen Yu, Theodore V. Galambos

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

In the design of steel buildings, the "Allowable Stress Design (ASD)" method has long been used for cold-formed steel structural members in the United States and other countries. In this approach, member forces, or moments, determined on the basis of working loads should not exceed the allowable values. The allowable value is used to prevent the possible structural failure by using an appropriate factor of safety selected primarily on the basis of engineering judgment and long-time experience. Recently, in the United States, the concepts of risk and reliability analysis have been successfully applied to the Load and Resistance Factor Design …

Transport Matrices Of Finite Beams Resting On Elastic Foundations, M. W. Giger

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

A method of derivation of the coefficients of the transport matrix for a finite element resting on one and two-parameter elastic foundation soils is outlined. The coefficients are summarized for both the Bernoulli–Euler and the Timoshenko beam model in tabular form, for general reference. In addition, bounds on the parameters describing beam/soil flexure, beam and soil shear, which govern the validity of the two-parameter elastic solutions are provided in graphical form.

Force Displacement Relationship For The Prediction Of Structural Fluttering, Ladislaus Lwambuka

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

A new presentation of force displacement relationship for the prediction of structural fluttering is discussed in this paper. This topic is limited to a detailed discussion of the derivation of the equations of motion for the rigid streamlined airfoil/flat plate system of three degrees of freedom, which yields expressions for aerodynamic resultant forces due to a steady air flow. The equations of motion presented herein are derived from the conventional classical complex presentation transformed into real matrix equations. This new presentation of the equations of motion constitutes the foundation for the latest state-of-the-art of predicting critical wind loads on the …

Design Of Automotive Structural Components Using High Strength Sheet Steels Effect Of Strain Rate On Material Properties Of Sheet Steels And Structural Strengths Of Cold-Formed Steel Members, Maher Kassar, Wei-Wen Yu

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

In structural design, the material properties of steels and the strengths of cold-formed steel members are affected by strain rate. Two subjects were investigated experimentally and analytically in this study. They are 1) effect of strain rate on mechanical properties of sheet steels in tension and compression, and 2) structural strengths of stub columns and beams subjected to dynamic loads. Three sheet steels with nominal yield strengths ranging from 35 to 100 ksi were studied under different strain rates. A total of 124 tensile coupons and 54 compressive coupons were tested in this phase of study. The structural strengths of …

Design Of Automotive Structural Components Using High Strength Sheet Steels Structural Strengths Of Cold-Formed Steel Members Under Dynamic Loads, Maher Kassar, Wei-Wen Yu

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

INTRODUCTION Since May 1988, the research project on automotive components sponsored by American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) at University of Missouri-Rolla (UMR) has been concentrated on a study of the effect of strain rate on mechanical properties of sheet steels and the structural behavior and strength of cold-formed steel members subjected to impact loads. The results of the static and dynamic tensile mechanical properties of three selected sheet steels in the virgin condition as well as for the steels subjected to different amount of cold stretchings, were established in 1988 and early 1989. Details of the tension coupon tests …

Tests Of Full Scale Brick Veneer Steel Stud Walls To Determine Strength And Rain Penetration Characteristics, Michael J. Wilson, A. S. Essawy, A. Kluge

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

The design, construction and physical testing of five full scale (2.75 m x 5.2 m) brick veneer rain screen wall specimens are reported. Also, the documentation of the design and fabrication of a new test apparatus and of the development of test procedures are major components of the report. The test program included sequences of air pressure loading stages both with and without simulated rain to establish both the structural and rain penetration performances of the test walls. The test walls included four brick veneer/steel stud specimens and one brick veneer/concrete block specimen. Additional tests were performed on bricks, mortar …

A Computer Program For Optimal Control Of Water Supply Pump Stations: Development And Testing, Donald V. Chase

Civil and Environmental Engineering and Engineering Mechanics Faculty Publications

This report presents an optimal control methodology designed to reduce the electrical consumption and operating costs at Army water supply pumping stations.

The methodology, contained in a computer program called Optimal Control of Pumping Stations (OCOPS), enables water utility managers and operators to reduce the electrical consumption at pumping stations while maintaining adequate storage and system pressures for fire protection. OCOPS can be applied to any water distribution system and is not limited to any number of pumps, pump stations, or storage tanks within the system.

The optimal control strategy developed is based on electricity unit charges, but can be …
