Buckling Of Diaphragm-Braced Columns Of Unsymmetrical Sections And Application To Wall Studs Design, Amir Simaan, George Winter, Teoman Peköz

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

Lateral bracing has a significant effect on increasing the buckling load of compression members. In the case of wall stud construction, such bracing is provided by wallboards directly attached to the stud along its length and results in increasing the load carrying capacity significantly. The objective of this investigation is to study the behavior of singly symmetric sections braced by shear diaphragms and to apply the theoretical findings verified by experimental results to the design of wall studs. In the present investigation the shear rigidity as well as the rotational restraint of the diaphragm are considered. Using an energy approach, …

Response Of Orthotropic Bridge Decks To Highway Loadings, Harry Morris Rexin

Dissertations and Theses

This thesis documents the fabrication, testing techniques, and response of a plastic scale model of an orthotropic bridge deck. To economically investigate a two-lane steel bridge deck, plastic Acrylic^R was used as a modeling material. Welds were simulated with dichloromethane, a capillary action solvent, and PS-30, a polymerizable cement. Deflections were measured with laboratory dial guages while strains were monitored with strain guages mounted on the deck.

The response of the deck to AASHO vehicle axle loads was compared with a discrete element computer program used to analyze orthotropic bridge decks continuous over flexible supports. Results indicate good correlation …

Column Research Council: Proceedings 1973, Column Research Council

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

One of the purposes of the Council is to maintain a forum where problems related to the design and behavior of columns and other compression elements in metal structures can be presented for evaluation and discussion. The Annual Technical Session provides opportunity to carry out this function. The 1973 Annual Technical Session was held on May 2 and 3 at the Los Angeles Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, California. Sixty persons attended the Session and thirty-three papers were delivered. A panel discussion on "Frame Stability Under Seismic Loading" was held in the evening of May 2, 1973. Panelists were E. …

Tests On Field Welded Puddle And Fillet Weld Connections, R. S. Yarnell, Teoman Peköz

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

INTRODUCTION This report contains the results of tests on 122 field welded connections. Most of the specimens are approximately the same as those that were shop welded previously and tested. The results of tests on shop welded specimens are given in Ref. 2. Those field welded specimens that do not correspond to the shop welded specimens are indicated in Table lA. Except as noted, all notations, variables, weld configurations and procedures are identical with those in Ref. 2. All specimens were tested in a hydraulic test machine under monotonically increasing slowly applied tensile force. This report differs from Ref. 2 …

Diaphragm Braced Thin-Walled Open Sections And Design Of Wall Studs, Amir Simaan, Teoman Peköz

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

INTRODUCTION Cold-formed steel wall studs generally are I, Z or channel shaped with or without stiffening lips, and with webs perpendicular to the plane of the wall. Because of their configuration and dimensions, these sections are quite unstable by themselves. However, the stability and, hence, load-carrying capacity of such studs are increased substantially once they are connected to the wallboard material. The main function of the wallboard is that of enclosure, but it serves also as a bracing system for the studs. Gypsum board, vegetable fiberboard, tempered board or plywood are commonly used wallboard materials. Such boards are connected to …
