EK614
Bolts or high-strength bolts in bearing-type connections should not be considered as sharing the load with welds. If welds are used, they should be designed to carry the load in […]
EK536
The angle at which the steel rib bears on the concrete changes as load acting on the reinforcing bar increases.
EK64
Two failure modes can be identified for hanger-type connections: formation of plastic hinges in the tee flange or angle leg at cross-sections 1 and 2, and tensile failure of the […]
EK63
To minimize the effect of prying, the fasteners should be placed as close to the tee stem or outstanding angle leg as the wrench clearance will permit. In addition, the […]
EK61
Prying action results when flexural deformation occurs in the tee flange or angle leg of the connection.
EK09
For small angles sin(angle) = tan(angle) = (angle) and cos(angle) = 1 provided that the angles are expressed in radians.
EK08
If the hypotenuse is unity the arc length 1x(angle) and sin(angle) are very nearly the same.
