I was reviewing what would be involved in qualifying a set of nuclear class 1 bolts for fatigue by using experimental stress analysis in accordance with ASME BPVC Section III Appendix II Subsection II-1500. I follow the basic method for the testing, but I'm a bit at a loss with calculating Ks...
Agree with those saying AISC rules could be used as an analog, with the appropriate Nd safety factor applied for BTH-1. I do see single angle allowables in Section F of AISC A360. I'm assuming I'd work out the critical moment, Mcr, then express that as a critical bending stress by dividing by...
Sorry about that. Heart of the question is really what bending allowable to apply to a single angle member in bending, but fair enough to show a sketch. Having trouble uploading one, so I think you should be able to find a crude sketch at the following link...
I'm reviewing a design to the rules of ASME BTH-1-2014. There is a deadweight which is supported by two single angles (3x2x1/4 with some areas machined away). They are unconnected and support half the deadweight each. These angles are unbraced over 48 inches. I believe the angle cross sections...
