Web shear normally does not control the design of CFS floor joists for simple spans unless the members have a large web height to steel thickness ratio. However, the AISI specification requires web shear to be checked for all floor joists....
These crane beams are supported on the columns of a building. MEZZANINE SYSTEMS Standard mezzanine system consists of profiled steel deck, mezzanine joists, built-up beams and intermediate support columns. Built-up beams span in lateral directions and mezz...
Steel can be used as a substitute for timber and, in addition, can provide many significant advantages; however, the cost differential fluctuates. Steel has traditionally been slightly more expensive on a material basis, but savings offset this in greater structural efficiency, ...
Steel can be used as a substitute for timber and, in addition, can provide many significant advantages; however, the cost differential fluctuates. Steel has traditionally been slightly more expensive on a material basis, but savings offset this in greater structural efficiency, rapid assembly and ...
An algorithm is presented encompassing the application of optimization methods to the least-cost elastic design of roof systems composed of rigid steel trusses, web joists and steel roof deck. The method is capable of designing rigid trusses that can be fabricated from various grades of steel and...
