Thermal Behaviour of Beams with Slant End-Plate Connection Subjected to Nonsymmetric Gravity Load
Figure 4
Beam with slant bolted end-plate connection subjected to temperature increase. (a) Stage 1: beam behaviour before increase in temperature. (b) Stage 2: beam behaviour after increase in temperature “two plates are in contact.” (c) Stage 3: Beam behaviour after increase in temperature “two plates contact together and in movement.” (d) Stage 4: Beam behaviour after increase in temperature “buckling and decrease in Young’s modulus.”
