It is advisable when detailing welded joints in thick plates to avoid details that in the past have led to lamellar tearing.
EK416
In stiffened end plates prying forces are negligible.
EK415
Thick plates undergo single curvature bending under flexure and attract prying forces.
EK414
Medium thickness end plates undergo single curvature or limited double curvature bending causing the end plate edges to also contact the support surface, creating new reaction points thereby increasing the […]
EK413
Small thickness end plates undergo pronounced double curvature bending and do not attract prying action.
EK412
Relatively rigid end plates unable to flex will separate from the support face rather than bend and no prying action occurs.
EK401
The danger of brittle fracture is increased when the ductility of steel is reduced by: suppression of yield deformations, as may be caused by triaxial stressing; the use of relatively […]
EK383
Relative deformation capacities of the elements in the load path: Plates in bending. Relatively large elastic deformation. Large deformation capacity when plastic hinges form. Plates in tension and plates in […]
EK175
A strength gain is possible with plates in shear where tension field action is considered. Thin unstiffened plates cannot carry much load after buckling. The critical buckling stress is increased […]
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 […]
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 […]
EK97
The area bounded by the yield lines and supports are called a panel. The significance of the assumption that panels are plane surfaces is that it defines the geometrical relationships […]
EK81
Plastic moment is the moment resistance of a fully yielded cross-section, The cross-section must be fully compact to develop its plastic strength. The component plates of a section must not […]
EK77
When the deflections of the plates middle plane is small compared with the thickness it can be assumed that: There is no deformation in the middle plane. The normals of […]
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 […]
