22Beam Columns, (Unedited)
What we have learnt
- Beam columns can fail due to various modes that must be carefully evaluated.
- AISC specifications provide essential guidelines for structural design.
- Calculating moment capacity is crucial for ensuring structural integrity.
Key Concepts
- -- Inelastic Buckling
- A failure mode where the buckling strength of a member decreases under the influence of axial loads, influenced by the inelastic behavior of materials.
- -- Moment Capacity
- The maximum moment that a structural member can resist without failing, important for load-bearing design.
- -- AISC Specifications
- Standards published by the American Institute of Steel Construction, detailing requirements and procedures for steel structure design.
