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 Steel
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
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
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

Dynamic Method of Seismic Load Distribution
The Uniform Building Code static-force method (Art. 9.4) is based on a single-mode response with approximate load distributions and corrections for
Dome Roofs
These are preferable to arches where the large column-free area to be covered is circular, elliptical, or approximately an equal-sided polygon.
Displacement Methods
For analysis of a statically determinate or indeterminate structure by any of the displacement methods, independent displacements of the joints,
Distribution of Loads through Decks
Specifications of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) require that the width of a bridge roadway between
Determination of Wind Loads
Wind loading as described in Art. 9.1 is the basis for design wind loads specified in Minimum Design Loads for Buildings
