shear lag

EK590

Shear lag effect is minimal in rolled sections, which have narrow and thick flanges and more pronounced in plate girders or box sections having wide thin flanges when they are […]

EK589

Presence of shear strains causes the section to warp. Its effect in the flanges is to modify the bending stresses obtained by the simple theory, producing higher stresses near the […]

EK577

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.

EK576

Usually angles are connected to gusset plates by bolting or welding only one of the two legs. This leads to eccentric tension in the member, causing non-uniform distribution of stress […]

EK215

The discrepancies produced by shear lag are minimal in rolled sections, which have relatively narrow and thick flanges. However in plate girders, or box sections, having wide thin flanges the […]

EK214

The simple theory of bending is based on the assumption that plane sections remain plane after bending. In reality shear strains cause the section to warp. The effect in the […]

EK110

Although the rigid frame structure has a tube-like form, its behavior is much more complex than that of a solid tube. Unlike a solid tube, it is subjected to the […]
