Abstract: The local web buckling capacity of coped beams with various coping details is investigated by using finite element programs. A parametric study was conducted to establish the effects of stress concentration, shear stress, ...

Abstract: Very little experimental data are available regarding lateral buckling of coped beams. In order to investigate and understand their behavior, six lateral buckling tests were conducted on a

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 ...
