Structural Testing Results
- The DWTB columns were connected to the foundation using 4x 6x 3/8-inch steel angles, which were secured with two rows of A325 5/8-inch diameter bolts. The anchor bolts, which conformed to ASTM F1554 standards, had a diameter of 3/4 inches, providing a secure connection capable of transferring loads effectively.
- The connections between the horizontal members and the columns were executed using 4 x 4 x 3/8-inch steel angles and blind bolts, ensuring both the structural performance and the ease of assembly.
- Signboards were attached to the horizontal members utilizing specially designed T-brackets, which facilitated a straightforward yet secure connection process.
- These simple connection methods resulted in a highly efficient and expedient assembly process, surpassing the typical timeframes associated with traditional steel or concrete OSS.
