What is a shear key in steel structures?

 In steel structure engineering , the column base connection serves as the pivotal interface linking the superstructure to the concrete foundation below. It must safely and reliably transmit various loads from the upper structure: vertical pressure , uplift forces , bending moments , and horizontal shear forces . When horizontal shear forces become substantial, the friction alone between the column base plate and the concrete foundation surface proves insufficient to resist them. At this juncture, a critical small component becomes indispensable—the shear key . Shear keys, as the name suggests, are structural steel connection components specifically designed to resist and transmit horizontal shear forces. Essentially, they are short steel members. Installation location: Typically welded or anchored to the base plate of a steel column (or other load-bearing components such as equipment supports ), with its lower end embedded in the concrete foundation or concrete structure cast ...

Disadvantages of prestressed concrete structures

  Concrete Steel Structure 1. The process is more complex, high quality requirements, thus requiring a more skilled professional team, and there are problems of interspersed types of work. 2. Sub-stress. Secondary stresses due to prestressing, creep and shrinkage effects, temperature variations, and bearing subsidence can be severe in continuous structures unless these are controlled or accounted for in the design. In prestressed continuous structures, it is interesting to note that these secondary stresses can often be exploited advantageously, and thus the secondary stresses will increase the economy of the structure. 3. Friction losses in continuous force bars. Friction losses can be significant if there are many reverse curves, if the curves have large deflection angles, or if the force bars are too long. In beams with corrugations or added axils, friction losses can be minimised by using straighter cables. The usual methods of over-tensioning and tensioning from both ends can ...
