Question

What is lacing 4 battens? When Lug angles are used in tension member.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Lug angle is small piece of angle used to connect outstand legs of the members to the gusset plate. • The purpose of lug angle is to reduce the length of connection to the gusset plate and to reduce shear lag effect.

Answer 2

• Battening is normally used for axially loaded columns and in sections where the components are not far apart. Flat bars are generally used for lacing. Angles, channels and tubular sections are also used for lacing of very heavily columns. Plates are used for battens.

• Lug Angle is one such development which can be used effectively in designing of tension member. Lug angle is small piece of angle used to connect outstand legs of the members to the gusset plate. The purpose of lug angle is to reduce the length of connection to the gusset plate and to reduce shear lag effect.
