Abstract: An elastic finite strip method of analysis is used to study the linear local buckling or bifurcation and the nonlinear post‐local buckling behavior of isolated trough girders in bending. The method assumes a constant stress ...

Abstract: The results of an inelastic finite element distortional buckling study of a hot-rolled I-beam used in a composite girder are given. The study shows that the relationship between slenderness and strength for distortional ...

Abstract: Composite steel-concrete beams that use high-strength (HS) steel sections are more sustainable from an environmental low-carbon perspective than those that use mild steel because less steel is needed. Quantifying the ...

Abstract: A finite element method for predicting the inelastic lateral buckling loads of continuous steel beam‐columns is described. A series of tests on three‐span continuous beam‐columns reported elsewhere is studied using the ...

Abstract: The instantaneous and time‐dependent behavior of composite steel‐concrete columns subjected to eccentric axial load is examined analytically. The age‐adjusted effective modulus method is used for the analysis of individual ...
