Zero-backlash beam couplings have high torsional stiffness and accommodate misalignment. The couplings use two sets of overlapping spiral cuts Beam Couplings (Courtesy of Ruland). Zero-backlash beam ...
Mechanical performance is comparable to other widely used stainless steels, such as 17-4 ph, but nonmagnetic properties are useful for magnetic-sensitive instrumentation such as magnetometers.
A recent series of dynamic tests demonstrates that there are several types and doses of steel-fiber reinforcement that can be used in performance-based seismic design of coupling beams—headers that ...
The ACI Foundation is pleased to announce the completion of a new research product: Evaluation of Seismic Behavior of Coupling Beams with Various Types of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete. Gustavo J.
