Experimental Studies of Bearing Capacity of Full-Scale Steel Columns of Single-Span Frame Under Crane Loads
摘要
The operation of full-scale columns within the bent of one-story and single-span industrial building with a foundation and a girder has been experimentally investigated under conditions similar to real operation. The full-scale tests have made it possible to reliably assess the stress-strain state of the columns undergoing compression and bending, to determine the horizontal displacements of the bent, to analyze the performance of joints, to study both global and local instability, and to identify the actual reserves of load-bearing capacity in the columns. These full-scale experimental studies have provided an objective assessment of the rationality of regulatory requirements to the design of such steel structures.
