BEHAVIOR AND DESIGN OF DEEP STRUCTURAL MEMBERS. PART VII. PLASTIC BEHAVIOR OF DEEP STEEL BEAMS INCLUDING SHEAR EFFECT
Abstract
An investigation was made of the static resistance-deformation relationship of steel I or WF beams subjected to a uniform loading that results in inelastic shear and flexural deformations. Four specimens from as-rolled 8 WF 35 beams were tested; the flange width was reduced for each of the beams in order to obtain the desired variations in resistance. Plastic shear deformations occurred in all specimens. One specimen deformed primarily in flexure, another deformed primarily in shear, and the third deformed from a combination of shear and flexure. Material properties in both tension and torsion were determined from coupon tests. Comparison of the experimental results from the beam tests with the torsional properties of the material indicated that a considerable portion of the shear resistance is contributed by the flanges. A shear-moment interaction relationship is derived which defines the perfectly plastic condition. (Author)
