Built-Up Sections
These are members made up by a fabricator from two or more standard sections. Examples of common built-up sections are shown
Built-Up Compression Members
Design of built-up compression members should comply with the basic requirement for prevention of local and overall buckling of compression members
Built-Up Tension Members
The design strength and allowable stresses for prismatic built-up members subjected to axial tension by static forces are the same
Cable Construction
Cables, more commonly referred to as wire rope, are sometimes used in buildings to support long-span roofs, to suspend floorbeams from
Cable Saddles, Anchorages and Connections
Saddles atop towers of suspension bridges may be large steel castings in one piece (Fig. 15.35) or, to reduce weight, partly
Building-Code Provisions for Roofs
Designers should be aware of building-code requirements affecting design of the roof. Model building codes and many state and local codes
Built-Up Air-Conditioning Units
Built-up air-conditioning units differ from packaged units in that built-up units are assembled at the site, whereas components of packaged units
