Abstract: Eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) are a widely used steel seismic resisting system due to their combination of high elastic stiffness and high ductility. The key component of this system is the portion of the beam in the ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the structural performance of a type of sandwich panels with lightly profiled thin steel skins filled with lightweight concrete. A series of experimental tests and numerical simulations were conducted ...

Abstract: This study aims to develop optimized interaction equations for more efficient design of cold-formed steel (CFS) lipped channel beam-columns under combined compressive load and biaxial bending, aligned with the direct ...
