INVESTIGATION OF HOLE MAKING PRACTICES IN THE FABRICATION OF STRUCTURAL STEEL

YUAN, QUANWEI

Abstract Details

2005, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering : Civil Engineering.
Hole making operations are concerned when ductility is required for the steel connections, Background information about four different hole making operations, such as punching, drilling, thermal cutting, reaming, are reviewed. General characters about strain aging are summarized from previous other people’s research. Three hole-making operations are compared by conducting static tests for two different types specimen (bar and tee), each type of specimen include two different materials. Strain aging effect is considered along with punching. Although punched specimen revealed least ductility, they are still satisfied by the requirement in AISC manual. In conclusion, a series of tests has demonstrated that the common fabricator hole-making operations do not significantly affect connection strength and ductility under static load conditions.
