Abstract: Conventional bearing capacity analyses for shallow foundations placed on slopes use a modified set of bearing capacity factors based on soil properties, footing geometry, and slope configuration, but are restricted to ...

Abstract: A field of turbulence and space and time wind variability in the lee of a ridge line is observed with double theodolite wind data. It is shown that the most turbulent areas occur above the lee slope and are associated with ...

Abstract: This paper presents a series of tests on cold-formed steel plain (unstiffened) angle columns compressed between fixed ends. The test specimens were brake-pressed from high strength structural steel sheets. Tests were ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation of cold-formed steel lipped angle concentrically loaded compression members is presented in this paper. The angle specimens were tested between fixed-ended conditions at various column lengths. ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation was conducted with thin-sheet steel (TSS) double shear-bolted connections at elevated temperatures. The connection specimens were fabricated by TSS 0.42-mm G550 and 1.90-mm G450. The specimens ...

Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the buckling behavior of cold-formed steel built-up closed section members subjected to combined minor axis bending and compression. The channels were fabricated from zinc-coated steel sheets ...
