AISI S901
Full Name
AISI S901 – Test Standard for Determining the Rotational-Lateral Stiffness of Beam-to-Panel Assemblies
Scope
AISI S901 is a comprehensive standard designed to evaluate the rotational-lateral stiffness of beam-to-panel assemblies. This standard is crucial in ensuring the structural integrity and performance of steel buildings, particularly in seismic-prone regions.
Key aspects of AISI S901 include:
- Test specimen: the standard specifies the dimensions and preparation of beam-to-panel assemblies to be tested.
- Test setup: the test setup involves applying a combination of lateral and rotational loads to the assembly while measuring the resulting deformations.
- Test procedures: AISI S901 outlines detailed procedures for conducting the test, including load application, deformation measurement, and data recording.
- Acceptance criteria: the standard establishes acceptance criteria based on the measured rotational and lateral stiffness values.
By following AISI S901, engineers and contractors can obtain reliable data on the rotational-lateral stiffness of beam-to-panel assemblies. This information is essential for designing and constructing buildings that can withstand seismic loads and other extreme conditions.
