6 Introduction Material properties have been studied throughout the history of constructed facilities because the natural differences at a microscopic level cause every piece of material and every section of each piece to behave slightly differently. This is problematic since consistent properties are the basis for linear elastic designs using the materials. The strength of a material is of particular concern in structural engineering. The strength of the material must be a known, useable value in order to adequately design structures to withstand the expected loads. The materials and methods used to connect steel members is particularly interesting because the connections can easily be the weakest point in a structure due to the reliance on the small cross-sectional areas of welds or bolts to transfer loads from member to member. The results discussed in this report focus on bolted connections on steel angle members. There are three ways that tension connection members typically fail. One is yielding which occurs when the member experiences a stress high enough that the entire cross-section of the member begins to elongate in the direction of the loading without any further increase in load magnitude. Another mode of failure is rupture which occurs when the member experiences a stress that causes the member to crack and split apart along stress planes. The third mode of failure is bearing at the bolt hole which occurs when the material fails locally at the bolt hole due to yielding or rupture of the material directly in contact with the bolt transferring the load to the connection member. While failure due to yielding is a well known and described phenomenon, failure due to rupture is more difficult to define because the loading through the bolts causes non-uniform stress distributions which can be difficult to describe mathematically. However a reasonable approximation of the stress distribution is necessary for determining the load that will cause the member to fail. This non-uniform stress distribution created by the loading is known as shear lag. In 1952, R.E. Whitmore published the results of experiments he performed that described the shapes of different stress distributions in connection members (Whitmore, 1952), and further research done by E. Chesson, Jr. and W.H. Munse in prior to 1963 led to the equation that is currently used to account for shear lag (Chesson & Munse, 1963). Page 1
7 Background Prior to 1952, design of gusset plates was fairly arbitrary: the engineer would design the plate to be large enough to place all the necessary rivets properly and then the thickness was chosen in accordance with similar trusses. R.E. Whitmore noted that other structural members in trusses had been researched and could be accurately designed, but gusset plates were severely lacking in research to identify the distribution of stresses (Whitmore, p. 2). Whitmore s research addressed this problem and identified the stress contours for both tensile and compressive loads. The figures he created from the data showed that the stresses dispersed outward from the loading point as was expected (Whitmore, p. 17). Whitmore concluded that the best method for determining the stresses was to assume the stress was uniformly distributed over an area at the end of diagonals spread out 30 from the point of loading (Whitmore, p. 30). This area is known as the Whitmore section. Figure 1: Whitmore section defined by L W in AISC Steel Construction Manual, 13 th Edition While Whitmore s research was essential to finding the stress distributions, his work involved only a small number of samples and there was still no simple way to describe the strength of the gusset plates. Then in 1963, E. Chesson, Jr. and W. H. Munse conducted further research on the subject and used a larger number of samples. Their work also accounted for different types of failure in the connection. Page 2
8 Chesson and Munse found that the method provided at that time by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), used the full net are to define the strength of the connection and considerably overestimated the strength. They determined that a new relationship was needed to predict the strength more accurately. Figure 2: Chesson and Munse Parameters They found two parameters that greatly affected the strength: the distance from the centroid of the connection member to the interface with the gusset plate ( ), and the length between the first and last row of rivets in the connection (L) (Chesson & Munse, p. 101). The tests they had conducted showed that the strength of the members decreased when increased and the strength increased when L increased. From these relationships they related the two factors with the simple ratio. From that ratio they were able to create a simple expression that more accurately predicted the effective net area of the members (Chesson & Munse, p. 104). [Eq. 1] Where: A e = Effective net area A N = Net area = Distance from connection plane to member centroid L = Length of connection Page 3
9 The term is referred to as the shear lag factor (U) and is currently used in the AISC Steel Construction Manual 1 from the calculation of the effective net area in certain tension members. Following Chesson and Munse s work AISC determined that the method using the shear lag factor was simpler, yet still effective for determining the effective net area, so it was adapted to be used in multiple circumstances beyond what Chesson and Munse s equation was intended for. [Eq. 2] Using Equation 2, AISC can specify alternative shear lag factors values for different member connector configurations than the ones Chesson and Munse tested (Easterling & Giroux, pp ). While Equation 1 is effective, it is empirically based and requires the additional step of calculating the net area of the member and the shear lag factor. Instead of using the empirically based formula, a theoretical equation can be created through mathematical analysis to directly calculate the effective net area without finding the net area or shear lag factor. In order for the theoretical equation to give accurate results, it can be compared to the results of the empirically based formula since that equation was based on actually experimental results. 1 AISC Steel Construction Manual 14 th Edition, Table D3.1, p Page 4
10 Methods In order to compare the theoretical results with the empirically based results found by Chesson and Munse (1963), a theoretical shear lag factor needed to be calculated. Using the relation between net area and effective net area in Equation 2, the theoretical shear lag factor was solved for by dividing the effective net area by the net area. [Eq. 3] While A N was calculated using known values, the equation for A e needed to be obtained using geometric methods. For angle members, this method involved mathematically flattening the angle to create a flat surface for determining the effective width of the stress distribution. Figure 3: Flattened Angle The total width of the flattened angle is equivalent to a line taken through the centerline of the thickness of both legs and it is equal to the sum of the leg lengths minus the thickness of the angle. This width times the thickness gives the same gross area as the normal angle. To create a realistic approximation of the distribution of forces through the section, two parameters were included: an offset from the lead bolt hole and angle from the connection line. Page 5
11 The offset, termed in this study as the alpha factor (α), was varied in terms of a percentage of the bolt hole diameter. This offset ranged from zero to 800% of the bolt hole diameter. Using these two parameters, the stress distribution was approximated as shown in Figure 1. Using this distribution, the effective net area is equal to the effective width times the thickness. The effective width was calculated as two separate parts since each side of the connection line had different conditions. [Eq. 4] [Eq. 5] [Eq. 6] Where: h = Height of angle w = Width of angle t = Thickness of angle g = gage distance 2 L = Length of connection = Bolt hole diameter α = Alpha factor θ = Angle of stress distribution Once the method for calculating the theoretical shear lag factor was determined, the empirically based shear lag factors could be used to determine reasonable values for the alpha factor and angle. These values were determined using the least squares method on the theoretical and empirically based shear lag factors. One of the tables used to calculate the least squares of the shear lag factors can be found in Appendix A. 2 As defined in AISC Steel Construction Manual, 14 th Edition, Table 1-7A Page 6

As shown in Table 1, α for connections with two bolts tended to diverge from the other values for corresponding connections with the same spacing and more bolts. The values of θ were much more consistent however. Averages of α and θ were calculated for each bolt hole spacing as well as for all the variations. However in steel connection construction, a three inch bolt hole spacing is the most common spacing used so another average was calculated weighing the bolt hole spacings closer to three inches more heavily. This weighted average results in α = 5.49 and θ = which is not a significant difference from the averages that were not weighted. As an additional check of the variance between the empirically based values and the theoretical values, the weighted average values were used in Equations 4-6 and compared to the empirically Page 7

15 Discussion Figures 2-4 show that α = 5.49 and θ = are acceptable approximations because data points fall generally along the line that represents equal shear lag factors. These figures also show that more bolts in the connection correlate to higher accuracy for the theoretical formulas. However, this may also correlate to the empirically based shear lag factor approaching a value of 1.0 asymptotically as the length of the connection increases. It should also be noted that the accuracy of the theoretical formula varies depending on the angle size. For the same bolt hole spacing and number of bolt holes, the shear lag factors are very different based on the inclusion of in the U calculation y = x R² = Theoretical U-Values Empirically Based U-Values (AISC) Figure 7: Correlation of Shear Lag Factors for 3in. Spacing Figure 5 shows the approximate linear relationship, between the theoretical and empirically based shear lag factors. The R 2 term shows that while the relation is close, it is not very accurate. The inherent variability from the large variety of connection configurations is the main Page 10
16 reason for the inaccuracy. However, the relationship is still a reasonable correlation between the two factors. Since the correlation between the two factors is acceptable, the weighted average values found using least squares for α and θ can be utilized. Using α = 5.49 and θ = 24.07, Equations 3 and 4 can be simplified to a more convenient form. [Eq. 7] [Eq. 8] Equations 7 and 8 along with Equation 6 provide a simple and easy method to calculate the effective net area. Most of the variables used are set by the design or by convention since the bolt hole diameter is constrained by the bolt size, and the bolt used most is the A325 bolt which has a set diameter. These equations also do not require the additional step of calculating a shear lag factor. Page 11
17 Conclusion Beginning in 1952 with R. E. Whitmore s essential research that defined the shape and size of the stress contours in gusset plates, the study of steel connections has changed very little over time. Following Whitmore s definition of the Whitmore section, E. Chesson, Jr. and W. H. Munse performed more research to simplify the process of calculating the effective net area the Whitmore section defines. They found that their test results could be accurately explained using the empirically based equation they created. Shortly after they published their research in 1963, AISC adapted their method to be used in the Steel Construction Manual and it has remained unchanged since then. Chesson and Munse s equation accurately describes the test results, but it requires the calculation of the net area of the connected member as well as a shear lag factor. In an attempted to simplify the process, a theoretical approach was taken. Two variables were used to modify the shape of the stress distribution. These variables were then determined using the results from Chesson and Munse s empirically based equation and a least squares approach. Applying the average values of these variables to geometrically derived equations yielded a simpler equation for finding the effective net area. While the simpler equation is determined using the empirical results, laboratory and analytical tests should be performed to verify the accuracy of the theoretical equation. In an initial attempt to look into performing a small number of experiments, it was found that the member size and connection setup necessary to make the sample fail in the correct mode would make the experiments difficult to perform 3. Another problem with performing the experiments was the equipment available was fairly limited and could not fit most of the sample sizes. Finding appropriately sized samples and equipment to test them in should be the next step in the analysis of this theoretical method. This study was limited to a proof-of-concept comparison of U. It also only considered a limited number of sample connection configurations, and more configurations should be tested. 3 Tables A1 and A2 in Appendix A shows the connection setups that were considered and that would fail in the necessary mode. Page 12
18 Another consideration for future analysis is different bolt sizes since this study only considered the most common size: ¾ inch. Other future work should include finite element analysis and lab experimentation with instrumentation in order to analyze the stress distribution in connection members. Page 13
