Steel Design Guide :Stiffening of Wide-Flange Columns at Moment Connections [Wind and Seismic Applications]

Focuses on the structural engineering and design calculations necessary for stiffening wide-flange columns when they are used in moment connections, especially when subjected to wind and seismic forces. The guide details various limit states for local column strength—such as local flange bending, web yielding, web crippling, and web compression buckling—and provides equations and design aids to calculate required strengths and design adequate stiffening elements, including transverse stiffeners and web doubler plates. Additionally, the document addresses economical considerations for column selection and stiffening requirements in both low-seismic and high-seismic applications, often referring to the AISC Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) specifications.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/
