Dead-Load Deflection
Although, in general, building codes restrict the magnitude of live-load deflections, they do not contain criteria or limitations relating to dead-load […]
Structural Steel
Cylindrical Tubular Members
The AISI Specification gives separate provisions for cylindrical members, but they apply only if the ratio of outside diameter-to-wall thickness, D/
Criteria for Built-Up Tension Members
A tension member and all its components must be proportioned to meet the requirements for maximum slenderness ratio given in Table
Criteria for Built-Up Compression Members
Compression members should be designed so that main components are connected directly to gusset plates, pins, or other members. Stresses
Crane-Runway Loads
Design of structures to support cranes involves a number of important considerations, such as determination of maximum wheel loads, allowance
Criteria for Composite Construction
In composite construction, a steel beam and a concrete slab act together to resist bending. The slab, in effect, serves
Crane-Girder Connections
Supports of crane girders must be capable of resisting static and dynamic horizontal and vertical forces and stress reversal. Consequently,
Cost-Effective Plate-Girder Designs
To get cost-effective results from the many different designs of fabricated girders that can satisfy the requirements of specifications, designers should
Corrosion Protection of Cables
In the past, the method of protecting the main cables of suspension bridges against corrosion was by coating the steel with
