Table of Contents #Understanding the Concept of Block Shear Failure Block shear failure occurs when part of a material shears away due to a combination of tension and shear forces in a steel connection. Typically, this happens along a path…
Our previous post is about structural steel connections, emphasizing its importance and complexity. This post is sort of continuation of the previous post, which is going to emphasize on the additional tension force that is developed in the bolted connections…
What are the structural elements does a steel structure holds? As similar to every other building, the major load-carrying members in a steel structure are columns and beams. Let us consider an industrial steel building to analyze its structural components.…
As a practicing design engineer, during the initial stage of the career, each and every one of us would be subjected to this particular dilemma. “Choosing between bolted and welded connections.” Where should we adopt bolted connection and at what…
