Abstract: In this study, an experimental program on cold-formed stainless steel tubular sections with and without perforations under pure tension is presented. Nine cross section series made of ferritic, lean duplex, and austenitic ...

Abstract: This paper describes the experimental study conducted on cold-formed steel semi-oval hollow sections (SOHS) under combined compression and uniaxial bending. Thirty-seven SOHS beam-columns with two different specimen lengths ...

Abstract: This paper describes an experimental investigation of stub column tests of cold-formed steel C- and Z-sections with different stiffeners. The experimental program consisted of 30 fixed-ended column tests of 6 series of ...

Abstract: This paper presents a test campaign concerning the fatigue behavior of the bird-beak square hollow section (SHS) gap K-joints subjected to brace in-plane force. A total of four bird-beak SHS gap K-joint specimens were ...

Abstract: This paper presents a test campaign concerning the structural behavior of cold-formed steel T-joints with semi-oval hollow section (SOHS) chord. Three different sizes of SOHS and nine different sizes of rectangular hollow ...

Abstract: This study deals with the compressive performance of cold-formed steel semi-oval hollow section (CFS-SOHS) stub columns after exposure to a standard fire. An experimental program was carried out on 17 CFS-SOHS stub columns ...

Abstract: The behavior and design of duplex stainless steel double-lap shear bolted connections produced by wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) are explored in this paper. A thorough experimental study carried out on 45 WAAM ...
