Abstract: The design and performance of pinned connections has been investigated and reported in the literature extensively. Most of this work is concentrated on the connected plates, with relatively little attention given to the ...

Abstract: Theoretical and experimental studies of pinned connections that have been published over the past

Abstract: The equations commonly used in practice for the design of beams are based on the assumption that the members are restrained against lateral displacement and twist at the ends of the unbraced length. Beams suspended by wire ...

Abstract: Section K1 of the AISC allowable stress design and load and resistance factor design specifications prescribes a set of requirements by which the strength of the web of a flexural member or column must be evaluated when ...

Abstract: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers has published a new standard for the design of below-the-hook lifting devices. This standard defines allowable stress structural design requirements for lifting devices used in ...
