EK694
The existence of one or more underground stories causes the perimeter below-grade walls with the diaphragm of grade level to constitute of a very stiff box. In this case or […]
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.
EK411
Prying action can be kept to a minimum by using the following measures: increasing the ratio a/b to at least 0,75; increasing the bolt spacing to at least 90 mm; […]
EK410
An increase of tensile force in a bolt due to prying action is about 20-33 %.
EK409
Prying action occurs in T-type or butt-type connections with bolts in tension. Bending of the end plate causes the edges of the end plates to bear hard on the mating […]
EK62
Prying action tends to increase the tensile force, called prying force, in the bolts.
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.
