Excerpt from Compressive Tests of Jointed H-Section Steel Columns<br/><br/>The vertical members of steel-frame buildings consist of columns the length of which is usually equal to the height of two stories of the building. The ends of these columns are finished in a milling machine. When in place in the structure, the end of the upper column bears directly upon the end of the lower column. The ends of the columns are usually held in alignment by splice plates which extend across the joint and are riveted to both the upper and the lower columns. These splice plates, however, are not designed to carry any portion of the compressive load. At each ?oor level loads are transferred from the ?oor to the columns so that the lower columns carry greater loads than the upper and usually, therefore, have a greater cross-sectional area. Where columns having an H-shaped cross section are used, it is desirable to have the same depth of section for the upper and lower columns. The greater cross-sectional area of the lower column is therefore obtained by selecting a section of the same depth as the upper column, but having a thicker web and wider ?anges. The web and ?anges of the upper column are then supported by the corresponding parts1 of the lower column and the distribution of stress at the joint is slmp e. In tall buildings the loads on the lower part of the building may be so great that to obtain the required cross-sectional area, the columns in the lower part of. The building must be of a greater depth than those in the upper part. At joints between columns of different depths, the ?anges of the upper column are not supported by the ?anges of the lower column. The axes of the interior columns are usually placed in line. The ?anges of the upper column are then not in line with those of the lower column. For exterior columns the outside faces of one ?ange of the upper and of the lower column are usually in the same plane.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This meticulously researched book analyzes the results of compression tests on steel columns used in building construction. Tests were conducted with varying column depths, arrangement, and bearing plate thicknesses to determine stress distribution and derive conclusions for safe and durable column design. The book discusses the experimental setup, methodology, and analysis of the tests, highlighting key patterns such as higher stress concentration in webs and variations in stress distribution based on column arrangement and bearing plate thickness. Ultimately, the book provides valuable insights for engineers and construction professionals seeking to optimize column connections and ensure structural integrity in steel frame buildings.
