Steel Frame Design Examples
When her shell is destroyed and her squad killed, Rook is imprisoned, left stranded, scarred and broken. Hollow and helpless without her steel frame, she's ready to call it quits.
Steel Framed Structures contains ten chapters on rigid frames, sway frames, multi-storey frames, interbraced columns and beams, elastic stability, moment-resisting connections, flexibly connected frames, portal frames, and braced arches.
When the storey is in loading state, if storey shear jVj < Vs, the storey is in elastic, and its shear stiffness can be calculated with the 'D-value method' (Long and Bao, 1981; Yang, 1979); if jVj > Vp, the storey is in hardening state ...
