Non-Linear Finite Element Analysis Of Light Gage Steel Shear Diaphragms, Erdal Atrek, Arthur H. Nilson Sep 1976

Non-Linear Finite Element Analysis Of Light Gage Steel Shear Diaphragms, Erdal Atrek, Arthur H. Nilson

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

SUMMARY Shear diaphragm action of properly designed light gage steel panels used for floors, roofs, and walls in steel buildings increase the stiffness and strength of such buildings. Considerable savings in weight and cost can be realized if full account of this action is taken in design. To make good use of the diaphragm action, detailed knowledge on diaphragm response to loading is essential. An efficient computer program has been prepared to analyze light gage steel shear diaphragm behavior in the linear and nonlinear ranges of response, up to collapse. The program uses figinite element concepts for analysis, and has …


Interpretation Of Tests On Welded Light Gage Steel Connections, Mark Shephard, George Winter, Teoman Peköz Jun 1976

Interpretation Of Tests On Welded Light Gage Steel Connections, Mark Shephard, George Winter, Teoman Peköz

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

INTRODUCTION This report interprets the results of three sets of test data (Ref. 1 through 3) on welded light-gage cold-formed steel specimens. The tests were conducted at Cornell for the American Iron and Steel Institute on 252 symmetric puddle and fillet welded connections tested under monotonically increasing static load. The tested connections consisted of 130 shop welded specimens and 122 field welded specimens. All test connections had the same basic configuration being made up of center plates, referred to as parent plates or connected plates in the references, butted together with one or, in the case of the double sheet …


Bolted Connections In Cold-Formed Steel Structures, Randall L. Mosby, Wei-Wen Yu Jun 1976

Bolted Connections In Cold-Formed Steel Structures, Randall L. Mosby, Wei-Wen Yu

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

INTRODUCTION A. Purpose of Investigation. The design of bolted connections in cold-formed steel structures is based on the present AISI Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members. 1 Prior to the development of the design criteria, bolted connections were tested at University of Michigan 2 in the 1940's and then at Cornell University 3,4 in the 1950's. The present design provisions were developed primarily on the basis of the tests conducted by George Winter and his associates at Cornell University. Additional tests were recently made by Popowich 5 on multi-bolt connections and by Dhalla 6 on connections with …


Mechanical Connections In Cold-Formed Steel: Comprehensive Test Procedures And Evaluation Methods, John Fraczek, George Winter, Teoman Peköz May 1976

Mechanical Connections In Cold-Formed Steel: Comprehensive Test Procedures And Evaluation Methods, John Fraczek, George Winter, Teoman Peköz

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

Design equations do not exist for connections in cold-formed steel formed with most types of mechanical fasteners, and such designs are presently based on test results. A lack of standard test procedures and corresponding evaluation methods impedes the acceptance of connection designs and the exchange of information vital to understanding the connection performance of a large number of mechanical fasteners with diverse properties. Initial steps toward standardization are taken with the development of fixtures and procedures for single shear, pullout and pull-over tests. The proposed single shear tests employ both a simple specimen formed with two overlapping straps and a …


Performance Of Unstiffened Compression Elements, Venkatakrishnan Kalyanaraman May 1976

Performance Of Unstiffened Compression Elements, Venkatakrishnan Kalyanaraman

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

The elastic and inelastic local buckling and elastic postbuckling behavior of unstiffened elements in cold-formed steel members and their effects on bending of beams and overall flexural buckling of columns have been investigated. An analytical investigation of the elastic and inelastic local buckling and the elastic postbuckling behavior of unstiffened elements with an elastic rotational edge restraint has been carried out. Results of experiments on short columns, long columns and beams are presented and compared with the analytical solution. An effective width equation for the elastic postbuckling range of the unstiffened element behavior has been derived by modifying the analytical …

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 an opportunity to carry out this function. The 1976 Annual Technical Session was held on March 2 and 3 at the SheratonBiltmore Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia. Fifty-five persons attended the session and nineteen papers were delivered. A panel discussion on "New Ideas on Stability of Multistory Buildings" was held in the evening of March 2, 1976. the panelists were …


Report On Screw Fastened Sheet Steel Connections For Canadian Steel Industries Construction Council, Volume I, R. W. Eastman Jan 1976

Report On Screw Fastened Sheet Steel Connections For Canadian Steel Industries Construction Council, Volume I, R. W. Eastman

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

Ultimate load data is presented from more than 1600 tests on sample connections made with different thicknesses of zinc-coated sheet steel and a variety of commonly used thread forming and self-drilling fasteners. The three fundamental loading conditions examined were pull-over, pull-out and single lap shear.

Empirical relationships have been developed which allow interpolation of the data within the range of sheet steel thicknesses tested.

Type AB and type A thread forming fasteners, and a number of different self-drilling fasteners were tested, in sizes from #14 (.250 in.) to #8 (.164 in.) diameter. Flat metal washers and a variety of sealing …
