LUG ANGLELUG ANGLE
INTRODUCTION · Lug angle is small piece of angle used to connect outstand legs of the members to the gusset plate. · The purpose of lug angle is to reduce the length…
Design Consideration Of Tension Members
Tension members, as described in IS 800:2007, can sustain loads up to the ultimate load, at which stage they may fail by rupture at a critical section. However, if the…
PERMISSIBLE STRESSES IN AXIAL TENSION
It is related to the guaranteed minimum yield point of steel with an appropriate factor of safety. Most of the codes assume a factor of safety of 1.67. The direct…
NET AREA & PERMISSIBLE STRESSES FOR TENSION MEMBERS
NET AREA CALCULATION FOR TENSION MEMBERS When tension members are spliced or connected to a gusset plate by rivets or bolts, some material is removed from the cross-section due to…
Types Of Tension Members
Structural members subjected to tensile forces are known as tension members. IS 800:2007 describes Tension members in Cl. 6.1 as linear members in which axial forces act to cause elongation…
What is a tension member?
A tension member in relation to construction or civil engineering is a member which undergoes tension more than compression as in it experiences more axial tension forces For example a…
Analysis And Design Of Butt(Groove) Welds
ASSUMPTIONS IN THE ANALYSIS OF WELDED JOINTS The following assumptions are made in the analysis of welded joints. � Welds connecting various parts are homogeneous, isotropic and elastic. � The parts connected…
Inspection Of Welds
As we have seen in previews website pages, defects in welds are inevitable. Nevertheless, the poor weld quality leads to collapse. Therefore, proper inspection and quality control of welded joints…
Weld Defects
WELD DEFECTS Defects in welding are inevitable in spite of using the good welding techniques, standa rd electrodes and preparation of joints. Some of the commonly observed welding defects (Figure…
