Abstract: The elastic lateral buckling capacity of coped steel beams with various coping details is examined by conducting a theoretical parametric study using the elastic finite element program BASP. Cope length, cope depth, and ...

Abstract: This paper studies the implication of the tendon modeling on the global response of tension leg platforms (TLPs) in general, and on the surge motion (low-frequency response) and the limits of the tendon forces (high-frequency ...
