  • Coastal mooring design: taut elastomeric and chain catenary surface buoy moorings
    2003
    Co-Authors: W. Paul, Jason Gobat, Jonathan Irish, M Grosenbaugh
    Abstract:

    A comparison is made of the behavior of a buoy anchored with an elastomeric tether and a chain catenary mooring at the same water depth and under the same environmental conditions. The results include: Numerical predictions of the statics and dynamics of the two moorings under identical ocean current and sea state forcing. The at-sea recorded Tensions in an elastomeric Tension Member buoy system. The results show that elastomeric tethers respond with one third of the dynamic Tensions of a chain catenary mooring in severe sea states. The chain moorings also experience considerable frictional wear due to chain links interacting with the sea bottom. A drawback of elastomeric tether moorings is that they can be damaged or cut when entangled with fishing gear.

  • Experimental Investigation of Block Shear Failure in a Single Angle Tension Member
    International Journal of Steel Structures, 2020
    Co-Authors: Jagdish R. Dhanuskar, Laxmikant M. Gupta
    Abstract:

    A limited test data are available for double-bolt line connection in a single angle Tension Member, which failed in block shear. To address this, twelve single angle Tension Members with a double bolt-line connection was reported in this paper, considering the block aspect ratio and connection length as the test parameters. All the tested specimens were failed in block shear. For the tested specimens, numerical analysis was performed, which shows good agreement with experimental results. Experimental outcomes were then compared with the current design provisions present in the IS 800, AISC, CSA, AIJ, EC 3, SBC, and with other existing proposed models. These standards and models show some discrepancies with regard to the experimental results. This discrepancy was due to the shear failure plane position as assumed in the design standards. Those shear planes were specified in the standards as net and gross shear planes. However, the experimental and numerical investigation shows that between the gross shear plane and the net shear plane lies the actual shear failure plane. Based on this, the block shear mechanism was modified and proposed a rational equation that provides a more exact prediction of block shear capacity than the current design standards and the other existing models. The proposed block shear equation shows the precise forecast for both single and double-bolt line connections used in a single angle Tension Member.

  • Behaviour of Block Shear Failure in Different Connections
    Iranian Journal of Science and Technology Transactions of Civil Engineering, 2019
    Co-Authors: Jagdish R. Dhanuskar, Laxmikant M. Gupta
    Abstract:

    In 1978, the block shear failure mode was first observed in the coped beams while investigating the bearing capacity of bolted shear connections. Later, this mode of failure was also observed in several bolted as well as welded connections, including Tension Member connection in angles and tees, and gusset plates. Subsequently, design provisions for block shear failure were implemented in the AISC specification. In this paper, a total of 78 coped beams, 75 angles and tees, 14 flange-connected tees, and 182 gusset plate specimens which failed in block shear are evaluated and comparison has been made against the present design standards. American, Indian, European, Canadian, Japanese and Saudi Arabian design provisions are used for comparative study. A compatible relation between test-to-predicted ratio for these specimens is obtained from a wide range of geometries, steel grade, and connection type. In addition, the comparative evaluation is made for the one-bolt line as well as two-bolt line connection which failed in block shear only. These design standards provide a conservative prediction for one-bolt line connection except Canadian standard; however, for two-bolt line connection, these standards provide a significantly conservative prediction.
