Guest Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 posté par bentafat_rachid effective Length Factors of Compression Members The concept of the effective length factors of columns has been well established and widely used by practicingengineers andplays animportant role incompressionmember design. The most structural designcodes andspecifications have provisions concerning the effective lengthfactor. The aimof this chapter is to present a state-of-the-art engineering practice of the effective lengthfactor for the design of columns in structures. In the first part of this chapter, the basic concept of the effective length factor is discussed. And then, the design implementation for isolated columns, framed columns, crossing bracing systems, latticed members, tapered columns, crane columns, as well as columns in gable frames is presented. The determination of whether a frame is braced or unbraced is also addressed. Several detailed examples are given to illustrate the determination of effective length factors for different cases of engineering applications. http://www.zshare.net/download/43229757b388b1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
