Fire Protection
There are several methods by which fire ratings can be readily achieved for structural-steel floor framing systems. These methods include application […]
Structural Steel
Flexural Members
In the design of flexural members consideration must be given to bending strength, shear strength, and web crippling, as well as
Fillers
A filler is a plate inserted in a splice between a gusset or splice plate and stress-carrying members to fill
Fire Protection
Building codes play a dominant role in defining the level of fire protection that is expected by society. Typically, fire protection
Field Tolerances
Permissible variations from theoretical dimensions of an erected structure are specified in the AISC Code of Standard Practice for Steel Buildings
Fatigue
A structural member subjected to cyclic loadings may eventually fail through initiation and propagation of cracks. This phenomenon is called
Fabrication Tolerances
Variations from theoretical dimensions occur in hot-rolled structural steel because of the routine production process variations and the speed with which
Fastener Diameters
Minimum bolt diameters are 1â„2 in for buildings and railroad bridges. In highway-bridge members carrying calculated stress, 3â„4-in fasteners are
Fastener Holes
Standard specifications require that holes for bolts be 1â„16 in larger than the nominal fastener diameter. In computing net area
