Abstract: Stress–strain coaxiality is a key determinant in generating universal relations for materials. These relationships have been studied extensively in isotropic materials but remain underexplored in fiber-reinforced materials ...

Abstract: A high-fidelity simulation-based system reliability calculation methodology was implemented for steel floor diaphragms framed from cold-formed steel joists topped with wood sheathing, leading to design recommendations that ...

Abstract: Typical cold-formed steel floor systems involve many repetitive joist members laid in parallel, yet the design specifications are based upon the reliability of individual members and fail to account for the potential ...
