This test method provides a comprehensive procedure for determining the seam strength for bolted longitudinal lapped seams in deep corrugated structural steel plates. It includes a laboratory test procedure which specifies specimen preparation, test equipment, and data collection, as well as a method for calculating seam strength from the test results. This test method is applicable to variable length longitudinal seams with circumferential seams between adjacent plates. Test specimens are loaded in uniform compression along their top and bottom faces until failure. Normalization processes are intended to address differences between test specimens and installed structure seams.
In addition to specimens and procedure, this test method also covers the apparatus to be used, conditioning, calculation, information to be reported, and precision and bias.
1.1 This test method provides a comprehensive method for determining the seam strength for bolted longitudinal lapped seams in deep corrugated structural steel plate. The test method includes a laboratory test procedure which specifies specimen preparation, test equipment, and data collection. The test method also includes a method to calculate seam strength from the test results. This standard test method is applicable to corrugated steel structures with ultimate strength of bolted seams provided in Practice A796/A796M.
1.2 Units—The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard.
