Abstract: In the design of steel structures, composite effects of stud shear connectors are generally measured using ordinary push-out tests. Furthermore, based on those results, the evaluation formulas of the ultimate shear strength ...

Abstract: During earthquakes, I-shaped beams (I-beams) in a braced structure are subjected to the flexural moment synchronized with reversed axial forces transmitted from buckling restrained braces. A prior study used the modified ...

Abstract: Generally speaking, steel beams are mechanically assembled with a concrete slab and stud shear connectors. The concrete slab works as a restraint against buckling instability such as lateral and lateral—torsional buckling ...

Abstract: In general, a steel beam is assembled with a concrete slab using shear connectors. Recently, perfobond-shear connectors have been attracting interest because of their high shear stiffness and strength. Nevertheless, the ...

Abstract: Buckling-restrained braced frames (BRBFs) are attracting interest worldwide by virtue of their extraordinary response reduction performance. The system relies strongly on the energy dissipation of buckling-restrained braces ...

Abstract: The manufacturing industry is faced with a challenge to create products with less environmental impact targeting a sustainable society. To cope with this challenge, sustainable design or ecodesign ...
