Abstract: This paper reports the computational results of an investigation of oil storage tanks with the shape of an open cylindrical shell under thermal loads induced by fire. Interest in this problem has arisen as a consequence ...

Abstract: Design codes for steel structures continue to provide additional opportunities for the use of more advanced methods of nonlinear analysis. As the complexity of the analysis increases, it becomes more important for the ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to propose relationships for the reduction in mechanical properties of cold-formed steels at elevated temperature. Predicting the degradation of strength and modulus of cold-formed steels ...
