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