Welded Studs
Fasteners with one end welded to a steel member frequently are used for connecting material. Shear connectors in composite construction […]
Structural Analysis
Welded Splices in Heavy Sections
Shrinkage during solidification of large welds in structural steel members causes, in adjacent restrained metal, strains that can exceed the yield-point
Welding
Use of welding in fabrication of structural steel for buildings and bridges is governed by one or more of the following:
Weld Quality
A basic requirement of all welds is thorough fusion of weld and base metal and of successive layers of weld
Welded Connections
Various types of welds may be used to joint cold-formed steel members such as groove welds in butt joints, fillet welds,
Wall Stud Assemblies
Steel studs are being increasingly used for the construction of interior and exterior walls in residential and light commercial applications.
Vibrations
Although a floor system may be adequately designed from a strength standpoint, a serviceability problem will result if unacceptable vibrations
Virtual Work and Strain Energy
Consider a body of negligible dimensions subjected to a force F. Any displacement of the body from its original position
Vibration of Single-Degree-of-Freedom Systems
Several dynamic characteristics of a structure can be illustrated by studying single-degreeof- freedom systems. Such a system may represent the
