Abstract: The results of compression tests of long, welded I‐section columns composed of slender plates of high tensile steel are described. Tests of concentrically loaded specimens are compared with a finite strip nonlinear analysis ...

Abstract: A test program is described investigating the compressive strength of channel section columns of slender cross section. The program consisted of different geometries of cross section, each fabricated by welding from ...

Abstract: This paper develops a simple advanced method of designing steel members against out-of-plane failure, in which reduced elastic moduli are used in an out-of-plane buckling analysis to model the effects of high moment, ...

Abstract: The paper presents compression tests on square and circular stainless steel tubes, including stub column and long column tests. An important part of the test program was to quantify the increase in column strength resulting ...

Abstract: The paper presents tests on square and circular stainless steel tubular beams. An important part of the test program was to quantify the increase in bending strength resulting from cold‐work during the fabrication process. ...

Abstract: The increase in the use of rectangular hollow sections in mainstream steel structures coupled with the economics of prefabrication have highlighted the need for design methods that produce economical bolted tubular ...

Abstract: This paper describes a series of compression tests on cold-formed equal angles with slender cross section. The angles were tested between pinned ends and loaded axially with eccentric load, which caused bending parallel ...

Abstract: This paper presents fixed-ended and pin-ended compression tests on cold-formed, in-line galvanized equal angles. Three nominal section sizes were tested ranging from nonslender to slender sections. Detailed measurements ...

Abstract: This paper presents a model for the determination of the serviceability and ultimate moment capacities of bolted moment end plate connections utilizing rectangular hollow sections and two rows of bolts. One row of bolts ...
