Combined Tensile Axial Load and Bending
Members under combined axial tensile load and bending must satisfy the interaction equations given by the AISI Specification to prevent […]
Structural Steel
Commonly Used Structural Systems
Structures are typically too complicated to analyze in their real form. To determine the response of a structure to external
Combined Loads
The types of loads described in Arts. 6.4 to 6.10 may act simultaneously. Maximum stresses or deformations, therefore, may result from
Combined Compressive Axial Load and Bending
Members under combined compression axial load and bending are generally referred to as beam-columns. Bending in such members may be
Combined Bending and Compression
Design of a structural member for loading that induces both bending and axial compression should take into account not only the
Combined Bending and Tension
For combined axial tension and bending, the AISC LRFD specification stipulates that members should be proportioned to satisfy the same
CNC Machines
Computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines that offer increased productivity are used increasingly for punching, cutting, and other operations. Their use can
Clearances for Fasteners
Designs should provide ample clearance for tightening high-strength bolts. Detailers who prepare shop drawings for fabricators generally are aware of
Column Base Plates
AISC ASD Approach. The lowest columns of a structure usually are supported on a concrete foundation. To prevent crushing of the
