The overall behavior of a precast structure depends to a large extent on the behavior of connections. Apart from the design of force transfer between individual units, there should also […]
EK170
Due to the great differences in the stiffnesses of joints using different type of connectors, it is usual not to allow the joint force to be shared between slip and […]
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 […]
EK167
Welded force joints do not slip, but behave as if almost rigid.
EK165
When shear and bearing bolts in clearance holes are used in an in-plane force joint, there is an initial slip when the shear is first applied to the joint as […]
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 […]
EK33
When a block is on a flat plate, there is a minimum force, which necessary to move the bock. Both the bottom surface of the block and the top surface […]
EK23
As the magnitude of the static-friction force increases from zero to maximum, the point A of application of the resultant N of the normal forces of contact to the right. […]
EK22
If increase the pushing force, the static-friction force also increases, continuing to oppose pushing force, until its magnitude reaches a certain maximum value. If pushing force is further increased, the […]
