A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Results of 106 tests of differently proportioned steel plates are presented in this paper. The specimens were loaded in tension by means of 3-in. steel pins which passed through holes in either end of the plate. The effects of plate thickness, side and bottom edge distances, and pin clearance were studied in relation both to the general yield and the ultimate strength of the links. The “dishing” phenomenon, which greatly reduces the ultimate strength of thin plates unsupported laterally, was given particular attention. Empirical formulas are given for predicting the general yield and ultimate strength of the plates, together with formulas for producing a pin-plate connection of balanced design.
