Limit State Response of Composite Columns and Beam-Columns Part II: Application of Design Provisions for the 2005 AISC Specification

摘要

The authors discuss the application of a set of equations for analysis and design of composite columns subjected to combined compression and bending. These equations were presented in the CD that accompanied the 13th edition Steel Construction Manual (AISC, 2005). The CD presents, in Figures I-1a through I-1d, sets of equations to be used to determine specific points on a simplified interaction diagram for encased W-shapes with bending about either the strong or the weak axes and filled rectangular and round HSS. These figures are used as the basis for Tables 2 through 5 in the paper. However, the authors have altered the figures from the CD for presentation in their paper.
