Effect of Strain Rate on Tensile Properties
Tensile properties of structural steels are usually determined at relatively slow strain rates to obtain information appropriate for designing structures […]
Structural Analysis
Effective Width Concept
The design of cold-formed steel differs from heavier construction in that elements of members typically have large width-to-thickness (w/ t) ratios
Effective Widths of Stiffened Elements
Uniformly Compressed Stiffened Elements The effective width for load capacity determination depends on a slenderness factor defined as where
Effective Widths of Unstiffened Elements
Uniformly Compressed Unstiffened Elements The effective widths for uniformly compressed unstiffened elements are calculated in the same manner as for stiffened
Effective Widths of Uniformly Compressed Elements with Edge Stiffener
A commonly encountered condition is a flange with one edge stiffened by a web, the other by an edge stiffener (Fig.

Effect of Elevated Temperatures on Tensile Properties
The behavior of structural steels subjected to short-time loadings at elevated temperatures is usually determined from short-time tension tests. In

Edge Distance of Fasteners
Minimum distances from centers of fasteners to any edges are given in Tables 5.7 and 5.8. The AISC specifications for
Earthquake Loads
An earthquake is a sudden undulation of a portion of the earths surface. Although the ground surface moves in both
Effect of Cold Work on Tensile Properties
In the fabrication of structures, steel plates and shapes are often formed at room temperatures into desired shapes. These cold-forming
