Web panel Zones in Vierendeel Girders (Part 2) -- hot-rolled sections

摘要

This is the second AD in a series on web panel zones in Vierendeel girders. This AD provides advice on the design of the panel zone, or joint between the members, using hot-rolled sections. AD 293 provided advice on the distinction between F_(vp) and F_v (as described in clause 6.1.9 of BS 5950-1: 2000) and their method of calculation. The joints in Vierendeel girders must resist bending moments combined with shear and axial forces.
