The stability of steel storage racks, which are often unbraced, may depend solely on the pallet beam to upright connector and on the stiffness of the base plate to floor connection.
This paper proposes a numerical model capable of predicting the mechanical behaviour and the failure mechanism of typical wall-to-floor connections for Cross-Laminated Timber structures.
In order to show the accuracy of the approach, numerical results are carried out with special attention paid to the characterization of the shell-floor connection.
It was shown that a rigid wall-to-floor connection would result in some damage to the floor diaphragms and an overstrength that should be considered when designing the wall for shear.
There are uses of the floor and connections between body parts that might become merely quirky in another choreographer's hands, but here prove essential.
Meet them on the floor, make connections, and maybe even new friends.
The load-transfer mechanisms of composite floor when connections fail due to axial tension, vertical shear and bending are investigated.
The lightweight steel trusses that supported the tower's individual floors, the connections between the trusses and the buildings' vertical structural columns, as well as possible flaws in the fireproofing have been drawing scrutiny from fire safety consultants and engineers in recent weeks.
The behavior of double-angle stringer-to-floor-beam connections in riveted railway bridges is examined using finite element analysis.
Stringer-to-floor-beam connections in riveted railway bridges have in many cases shown to be critical details with respect to fatigue.
At early planning stage, the petal-like steel columns were integrated with interior decoration detailing, mechanical/electrical/piping and other design elements such as penetration of six petal-like steel columns through the floor slab, connection details of petal-like columns and beams supporting the floor, and the rebar arrangement between the steel column and concrete beam.
