The effects of shear lag, and hence the strength reduction, is higher when the ratio of the area of the outstanding leg to the total area of cross-sectionincreases.
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.
