This publication provides guidance on the design of steel beams subject to torsion. It owes much to the earlier SCI publication P057 Design of members subject to combined bending and torsion prepared by Nethercot, Salter and Malik and published in 1989.
Plate Theory and Beam Theory. Plate theory is an approximate theory; assumptions are made and the general three dimensional equations of elasticity are reduced. It is very like the beam theory (see Book. 1 although if the in-plane loads are compressive and sufficiently large, they can buckle (see §6.7) I, §7.4) – only with an extra dimension.
Figure (1): Diagram of Torsion Test Setup with Measurements The image above displays the location of the strain gauges: in approximately the center of the torqued shaft.
The Structural Steel Properties and Design Charts Catalogue is a directory of products and services available from Fletcher Easysteel and is provided as a guide to assist customers when determining their requirements.
Introduction: Torsion of rods. The equipment allows the user to measure the torsion resulting from twisting one end of a metal rod. The investigations detailed in this module look at the effect of changing the diameter of the rod, changing the metal from which it is made and changing its length.
Structural engineers occasionally need to determine the section properties of steel shapes not found in the current edition of the Handbook of Steel Construction (CISC 2000). The following pages provide the formulas for calculating the torsional section properties of structural steel shapes.
