  • Bending and Shear Analysis and Design of Ductile Steel Plate Walls
    13th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering Vancouver, B.C., Canada August 1-6, 2004 Paper No. 77 BENDING AND SHEAR ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF DUCTILE STEEL PLATE WALLS Mehdi H. K. KHARRAZI1, Carlos E. VENTURA2, Helmut G. L. PRION3 and Saeid SABOURI-GHOMI 4 SUMMARY For the past few decades global attention and interest has grown in the application of Ductile Steel Plate Walls (DSPW) for building lateral load resisting systems. Advantages of using DSPWs in a building as lateral force resisting system compromise stable hysteretic characteristics, high plastic energy absorption capacity and enhanced stiffness, strength and ductility. A significant number of experimental and analytical studies have been carried out to establish analysis and design methods for such lateral resisting systems, however, there is still a need for a general analysis and design methodology that not only accounts for the interaction of the plates and the framing system but also can be used to define the yield and ultimate resistance capacity of the DSPW in bending and shear combination. In this paper an analytical model of the DSPW that characterizes the structural capacity in the shear and bending interaction is presented and discussed. This proposed model provides a good understanding of how the different components of the system interact, and is able to properly represent the system's overall hysteretic characteristics. The paper also contributes to better understand the structural capacity of the DPSW and of the shear and bending interaction. The simplicity of the method permits it to be readily incorporated in practical non-linear dynamic analyses of buildings with DSPWs.

University of Pittsburgh, 2009 This thesis reports the results of a study associated with Task 8.4b of the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Project 12-77 Structural Concrete Design with High-Strength Steel Reinforcement. The objective of the study is to evaluate the effects of the use of high-strength steel reinforcement in shear friction applications. Shear friction is the mechanism present when shear is transferred across an interface between two concrete members that can slip relative to one another. It arises from the roughness of the interface and the clamping force created by the steel reinforcement across it. The study was accomplished by testing typical push-off specimens with a cold joint test interface, which had a surface roughness with at least ¼-inch amplitude in order to simulate the connection between a composite slab and an AASHTO girder.

  • Chapter 2 Design for Shear
    Chapter 2 Design for Shear By Richard W. Furlong 2.1 Introduction Shear is the term assigned to forces that act perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of structural elements. Shear forces on beams are largest at the supports, and the shear force at any distance x from a support decreases by the amount of load between the support and the distance x. Under uniform loading, the slope of the shear diagram equals the magnitude of the unit uniform load. Shear forces exist only with bending forces. Concrete beams are expected to crack in flexure, with such cracks forming perpendicular to longitudinal tension reinforcement, i.e., perpendicular also to a free edge. Principal tension stresses change direction from horizontal at the longitudinal reinforcement to 45o at the neutral axis and vertical at the location of maximum compression stress. Consequently, cracks in concrete tend to “point” toward the region of maximum compression stress as indicated by the cracks shown in Fig. 4.1. Axial compression force plus bending makes the area of compressed concrete larger than without axial force. ACI 318-05 permits the evaluation of shear capacity for most beams to be taken as the combination of strength from concrete without shear reinforcement Vc plus the strength Vs provided by shear reinforcement. Shear strength of a slab that resists flexural forces in two orthogonal directions around a column (flat plates, footings and pile caps), is evaluated as the shear strength of a prism located at a distance of half the slab depth d from the faces of the column.

  • Bolted Joint Design
    Bolted Joint Design There is no one fastener material that is right for every environment. Selecting the right fastener material from the vast array of those available can be a daunting task. Careful consideration must be given to strength, temperature, corrosion, vibration, fatigue, and many other variables. However, with some basic knowledge and understanding, a well thought out evaluation can be made. Mechanical Properties of Steel Fasteners in Service Most fastener applications are designed to support or transmit some form of externally applied load. If the strength of the fastener is the only concern, there is usually no need to look beyond carbon steel. Considering the cost of raw materials, non-ferrous metals should be considered only when a special application is required. Tensile strength is the mechanical property most widely associated with standard threaded fasteners. Tensile strength is the maximum tension-applied load the fastener can support prior to fracture. The tensile load a fastener can withstand is determined by the formula P = St x As . • P= Tensile load– a direct measurement of clamp load (lbs., N) • St= Tensile strength– a generic measurement of the material’s strength (psi, MPa). • As= Tensile stress area for fastener or area of material (in 2, mm 2) To find the tensile strength of a particular P = St x As bolt, you will need to refer to Mechanical P = tensile load St = tensile strength As = tensile stress area Properties of Externally Threaded Fasteners (lbs., N) (psi, MPa) (sq. in, sq. mm) chart in the Fastenal Technical Reference Applied to a 3/4-10 x 7” SAE J429 Grade 5 HCS Guide.

  • Glossary of Terms In
    Glossary of Terms in Powder and Bulk Technology Prepared by Lyn Bates ISBN 978-0-946637-12-6 The British Materials Handling Board Foreward. Bulk solids play a vital role in human society, permeating almost all industrial activities and dominating many. Bulk technology embraces many disciplines, yet does not fall within the domain of a specific professional activity such as mechanical or chemical engineering. It has emerged comparatively recently as a coherent subject with tools for quantifying flow related properties and the behaviour of solids in handling and process plant. The lack of recognition of the subject as an established format with monumental industrial implications has impeded education in the subject. Minuscule coverage is offered within most university syllabuses. This situation is reinforced by the acceptance of empirical maturity in some industries and the paucity of quality textbooks available to address its enormous scope and range of application. Industrial performance therefore suffers. The British Materials Handling Board perceived the need for a Glossary of Terms in Particle Technology as an introductory tool for non-specialists, newcomers and students in this subject. Co-incidentally, a draft of a Glossary of Terms in Particulate Solids was in compilation. This concept originated as a project of the Working Part for the Mechanics of Particulate Solids, in support of a web site initiative of the European Federation of Chemical Engineers. The Working Party decided to confine the glossary on the EFCE web site to terms relating to bulk storage, flow of loose solids and relevant powder testing. Lyn Bates*, the UK industrial representative to the WPMPS leading this Glossary task force, decided to extend this work to cover broader aspects of particle and bulk technology and the BMHB arranged to publish this document as a contribution to the dissemination of information in this important field of industrial activity.

An insufficient interface bead width leads to interface fracturing rather than to the fracture of the BM and heat-affected zone (HAZ) during a tensile–shear test. An analytic model was developed to predict the tensile–shear fracture location without destructive testing. The model estimated the hardness of the WM and HAZ by using information such as the chemical composition and tensile strength of the BM provided by the steel makers. The strength of the weldments was calculated from the estimated hardness. The developed model considered overlap weldments with similar and dissimilar material combinations of various steel grades from 590 to 1500 MPa. The critical interface bead width for avoiding interface fracturing was suggested with an accuracy higher than 90%.
