Yield line capacity vs. interaction with other stresses
Yield line capacity vs. interaction with other stresses
(OP)
I have a situation where I have a column that is receiving axial load and in addition, it also has a brace coming into its web (via a gusset). I have calculated the web capacity for the gusset based on (accepted) yield line theory. However this left me wondering (and not for the first time): should I reduce the yield line capacity for the web based on the other stresses in the column (from other loads)? In other words: are the other stresses in the columns taking away from the yield line capacity?
Thoughts?

That's kind of my p.o.v. on it too.....so I have used a reduced yield value in the equation I use. But sometimes I wonder if it is quite that simple.
