Abstract: The loads on buildings and structures caused by the buffeting action of wind have traditionally been analyzed using the gust loading factor (GLF) approach in most codes and standards. In the GLF approach, the equivalent ...

Abstract: Steel arches are applied in many engineering structures because of their excellent capacity to resist various transverse loadings. Modified (or normalized) slenderness plays an important role in the strength design of steel ...

Abstract: The sunflower arch bridge is a new type of reinforced concrete arch bridge that has been developed recently. Because of the complex constructional details, the stress distribution at the joint between the main arch and ...
