Concept explainers

Connections

In steel structures, connections are the members that join two or more steel members. The connections are the most important members of any steel structure, and hence, they are designed more carefully. The majority of the construction cost of steel structures is incurred due to the connections. The design of connections is done as per the recommendations and specifications of the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC).

Which of the following statements are correct (select all that apply) A.Boussinesq’s equations can be reasonably used to estimate the increase in vertical stress within the founding soil for an embedded circular tank as long as the entire soil profile is linear-elastic, homogeneous and isotropic. B.Boussinesq’s equations can be reasonably used to estimate the increase in vertical stress within a deep soil deposit as long as the soil layer within the influence depth of the surface load is linear-elastic, homogeneous and isotropic. C.If a soil profile consists of a very stiff layer near the surface underlain by a softer layer, Boussinesq’s equations would tend to under-estimate the increase in vertical stress within the softer soil layer due to a surface load. D.If a soil profile consists of a soft layer near the surface underlain by a very stiff layer, Boussinesq’s equations would tend to under-estimate the increase in vertical stress within the upper layer due to a surface load.
