MAXIMUM PRINCIPAL STRESS
SCF = --------------------------------------
NOMINAL STRESS IN GIRDER
(P/A+M/S)
The moment M Is due to a combination of moment and shear load.
The maximum SCF was found in the gusset plate connecting the
transverse girder and column top, at the edge of the gusset plate in
the weld between the gusset web and flange. It was equal to 1.66. The
SCF in the longitudinal girder at the windlass cutouts reached a
value of 1.87. Figure C.4-4 shows the equivalent stress variation
over the entire connection. The maximum stress, as already nokl,
occurs in the crotch region. Figure C.4-5 shows an equivalent stress
contour plot of the windlass holes. Table C.4-1 summarizes the SCFS.
