Let's use numbers for the question.
In a real four point experimental work, an IPE 160 steel beam has resulted in ultimate moment 53 kN.m. Fy and Fu from tensile test in the laboratory is 305 MPa and 382 MPa respectively. The plastic modulus section from charts is 124,000 mm3.
Fy.Z= 37.82 kN.m...
In four point bending test, when loading a simply supported A36 steel beam to failure, where shear is very low and buckling is prevented, how much the ultimate bending moment is expected to diverge from the theoretical value: M=Fy.Z ?
Please, if any references for more readings are available...
Hi,
In the real world, steel shear studs are welded to the steel section surface. In ABAQUS, I represented the steel section (I-section) as follow:
Upper flange (shell element)
Lower flange (shell element)
Web (shell element)
merged the above parts to form the I-section
Stud (beam element)
ALL...
