Steel Design Guide: Steel and Composite Beams with Web Openings

A comprehensive, unified approach for the design and analysis of structural members with web openings, covering topics such as load and resistance factors, moment-shear interaction, and stability considerations, and limits its scope to sections meeting AISC compact requirements. It presents detailed equations, proportioning guidelines, and example problems for both unreinforced and reinforced openings in steel and composite beams, utilizing the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) method, with a brief mention of the Allowable Stress Design (ASD) approach. Furthermore, the source provides a background on the behavior of these members, including failure modes and the effects of openings on stress distributions, and concludes with a discussion on methods for calculating beam deflections.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/civil_engineering_made_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
