| Abstract |
The purpose of this paper is to compare with the property of block shear design code according to the limit state design of steel structures and AISC Specifications by analysing the shear lag effect in the block shear rupture of the tension joints. From the results of this experiment program, the connection length, thickness of angle and reduction factor which affect the block shear rupture were investigated. According to the test results, it is suggested that the calculation of the block shear capacity by using the shear length due to the real rupture line and the reduction factor of U that was suggested by Epstein was needed. Also, in the single angle two bolt connection, the ratio of the width and connection length is small. In this case, reduction factor(0.75) is closer to the experimental values when reduction factor is compared with U=0.75. |
