THOSE ENGAGED in the structural research that has been typical of many steel-industry-sponsored programs in recent years- -and has been traditional at the Fritz Engineering Laboratory since its early days- have the advantage of working with an advisory committee. Beyond receiving suggestions for needed work this advantage has at least two ramifications: (1) There is always interest in the engineering application of a new approach that may arise from the research, and (2) the investigators cannot fail to be impressed with the necessary “constraints”, among which are time and complexity. A new method that involves more design time, or is more complex in its application, must have a significant economic advantage before it can become a practical design tool. It is from this background that recent developments in steel building design are discussed in this paper. Which of the developments arising from research have a potential for improvement in design? Some of these applications are current. Some are in the future. Some of the source material goes beyond that resulting from the work of the writers and of their own institution. Not only does it include AISC- sponsored research, but also that of the American Iron and Steel Institute, Column Research Council, Research Council on Bolted and Riveted Structural Joints, and the National Science Foundation.The first approach is “strength and ductility”: Take advantage of the strength and ductility of the parts and of the whole. Plastic design is in this field. Second, one can make design like life. Base it more on probabilities. Third, one can take advantage of what otherwise are the neglected parts, and this involves interaction considerations. Finally, one can exploit the arrangements of the material to the fullest. What is the best structural system? Structural Design – -The overall objectives of structural design are basically threefold: (1) The structure must meet functional requirements, (2) it must support load and provide stiffness, and (3) it must satisfy economical requirements. It may be that in the past the strictly load-carrying aspects have been overemphasized, and this comes into focus when one considers the real function of a structure. Now, having made this statement, one still must look at the load limits and the other major design criteria as a background. These “limits of structural usefulness” are the plastic limit load, the stability limit, the elastic limit (which is a hypothetical consideration), the fatigue limit, the fracture limit, and finally the serviceability criteria of deflection or vibration. These various limits are used in a number of ways, but their consideration is eventually a part of particular design procedures, most of which have names. They are grouped in Fig. 1 in three categories. Whether or not the terms within a . given group are synonymous is a matter of usage and conjecture. It is to be hoped that in time this situation can be resolved. (That， in itself， would be a considerable “advance”.)Figure 6 shows one of the test specimens. It was fully welded and horizontal stiffeners were provided to transmit beam-flange forces into connection panel. It was found that the increase in shear strength that has always been observed above the elastic limit is due primarily to the action of the boundaries, the flanges and stiffeners that form the boundary to the connection panel.AISC beedle pdf download.
