Stress corrosion parameters for glass with different edge finishing Ghent University
The influence of stress corrosion on the edge strength becomes important when designing structural glass elements. As the load duration of the design wind load (600 s) or the design temperature load is larger than the common load duration during testing the glass edge, a strength model must be used to take into account the load duration properly. In such a model, both short term parameters (i.e. the flaw geometry and depth) and stress corrosion ...
Study of residual stresses in I-section members and cellular members Ghent University
Cellular or castellated members are steel I-section members with evenly spaced circular or hexagonal web openings. Most of the cellular members used nowadays are made starting from a hot-rolled I-section member, called the parent section. In the production process, the latter member is cut into two halves according to a certain pattern. Cellular members are produced by shifting these halves and welding them together again. Compared to their ...
Instabilities of cellular members loaded in bending or compression Ghent University
Cellular members are I-section steel members with evenly spaced round web openings. The main advantage these members have over plain-webbed I-section members is their optimized material use in strong-axis bending. Consequently, they are principally used for applications in which they are loaded in bending, but they are also applied in cases where they are subjected to a combination of a compressive force and a bending moment. For cellular ...
Lateral torsional buckling of cellular steel beams Ghent University
Present paper deals with the behavior of so-called cellular members against lateral torsional buckling. These beams comprising regularly-spaced web openings are especially used for their high resistance-weight ratio, the possibility to integrate service pipes within their height, and aesthetics. Such profiles usually exhibit a complex behavior, since they can experience many modes of failure, including local instability ones, i.e. those ...
Cellular members loaded by an eccentric axial force: a design rule proposal for the elastic critical buckling load Ghent University
Cellular members are steel I-section members with large circular web openings that appear in a regular pattern. Due to these openings, cellular members loaded in bending have a number of advantages over classical I-section beams, the main one being optimisation of material use. Therefore, structures with cellular members will be lighter in weight and appearance. Mostly, they are used in applications in which they are solely subjected to a ...
Influence of temperature on post-breakage behaviour of laminated glass beams: experimental approach Ghent University
The assessment of the post-breakage performances of laminated glass elements used in construction need to take into account the sensitivity to the temperature of the mechanical behaviour and properties of the product, in particular of the interlayer material. A general problem statement and an overview of different experimental approaches are firstly presented. Then results of specific orientation tests on pre-cracked laminated glass beams with ...
