Bolted Connections
Bolted connections of cold-formed steel members are designed as bearing type connections. Bolt pretensioning is not required and installation should […]
Structural Steel
Bolting
Most field connections are made by bolting, either with high-strength bolts (ASTM A325 or A490) or with ordinary machine bolts (A307
Bearings
Bridges should be designed so that a total movement due to temperature change of 11â„4 in per 100 ft can take
Bending Stresses and Strains in Beams
Beams are structural members subjected to lateral forces that cause bending. There are distinct relationships between the load on a
Bending Strength
For a member subjected to flexure, the bending strength depends on the shape of the member, width/ thickness or depth/ thickness
Beam Bearing Plates
AISC ASD Approach. Beams may be supported directly on concrete or masonry if the bearing pressure is within the allowable.
Beams Seated Atop Supports
There are many cases where beams are supported only at the bottom flange. In one-story buildings, for example, beams often
Basic Allowable Stresses
Table 11.29 lists the allowable stresses for railroad bridges recommended in the AREMA Manual. The stresses, ksi, are related to the
