Column Strength of Aluminum Alloy 14S-T Extruded Shapes and Rod

Abstract

Investigation conducted to determine column strength of aluminum alloy 14S-T is based on tests of extruded shapes and rolled and drawn rods. Test results are tabulated. There is close coordination between test results and theoretical tangent-modulus column curves for specimens falling by side-wise bending. Twisting type failure or leg buckling can be avoided by using a width thickness ratio of 7 or less based on outstanding width of legs.
