CAPACITY OF SINGLY SYMMETRIC BEAM-COLUMNS USING MODIFIED STRESS STRAIN CURVE

摘要

Limitations of and improvements to beam-column design procedures in SNAME Bull. 5-5 are described. Results from inelastic EEM analyses are used to define the base-case failure surface for a LeToumeau tear-drop chord section of non-zero length. Supplementary studies were used to calibrate a knocked-down stress-strain curve, and to show that using base case results is conservative for more complex situations.
