Lab 3 Introduction: For the student
Objective: You should be able to design a steel section that is
to be subjected to tension loads
after completion of lab 3.
Handouts: the handouts for this lab are sheets 101 thru 105 of
AISC 28 & AISC 29.
Description: The handouts for this lab are sheets 101 thru 105.
Students are to select a double
angle with enough cross-sectional area to resist a tension load
that is given. Section areas
required are calculated for fracture and yield limit states,
from which the larger is chosen.
Bearing strength and block shear are checked as well. Given the
required area, the appropriate
section is to be chosen from the LRFD manual. Sheets 101 thru
103 consist of a tension member
design of a double angle attached to a gusset plate with bolts.
Sheets 104 & 105 consist of the
same tension member design from the previous sheets, but the
tension member is connected to a
gusset plate with welds this time. Any assumed information is
included in sheets 1 thru 7.
