Design Guide 33: Curved Member Design
Also Known As:
Design Guide 33: Curved Member Design is a comprehensive resource that fills the gap in structural steel design practice related to curved members. The guide offers practical information and design guidance for the fabrication and detailing of curved structural steel members, including their behavior during bending operations. It is aligned with the 2016 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings, ensuring compliance with current standards.
The guide covers both vertically and horizontally curved members and provides a design methodology specifically tailored for curved members. It also addresses connection design considerations, ensuring that connections in curved members are properly designed for effective load transfer. Stability concerns, such as buckling, and serviceability issues, such as deflection and vibration, are also discussed.
To enhance understanding and application, Design Guide 33 includes detailed design examples that illustrate the recommended procedures and practices. This allows engineers and designers to have a clearer understanding of the design process for curved members and enables them to apply the guidance effectively in their projects.
