EK551
Plastic ducts do not provide confinement to the connector and grout, and appear to have a negative effect on the frictional resistance of the connection.
EK188
The combined shortening effect due to creep, shrinkage and temperature reductions induces tensile stresses in the precast components. The stresses must be accounted for in the connection design by either […]
EK169
Equal sharing of the force transfer is also often assumed for tension force joints in which the applied force acts out of the connection plane. This is the case for […]
EK61
Prying action results when flexural deformation occurs in the tee flange or angle leg of the connection.
EK60
In the design of a hanger connection, the designer must take into account the effect of prying action.
EK42
In a bolted joint based on the plastic theory the end bolts are assumed to be stressed to their yield point. As the total load on the connection be increased, […]
EK41
The loads resisted by the bolts of a group are never equal (in the elastic range) when there are more than two bolts in a line. If the plates be […]
EK40
The assumption has been made that the loads applied to a connection are equally divided between the bolts. For this distribution to be correct the plates must be perfectly rigid […]
