Abstract: Based on the elastic plate buckling theory, the development of criteria for maximum connection spacing in cold‐formed steel cellular panels subjected to gravity loading is presented. In such thin‐walled members, the maximum ...

Abstract: On the basis of the failure criteria developed in an earlier paper by the writers, the utilization of partial section plastification in cold‐formed steel flexural members is presented. As in the limit design procedures ...

Abstract: Post‐yielding strength of redundant cold‐formed steel flexural members, due to moment redistribution, is presented. The reserve strength due to section plastification is discussed in an accompanying paper. In an earlier ...

Abstract: The inelastic load carrying capacity of cold‐formed steel beams with stiffened compression flanges has been investigated. A failure criterion, based on the ultimate compressive strain, is developed experimentally for beams ...

Abstract: An extensive experimental study of riveted cellular cold‐formed steel panels loaded in bending is presented. In addition, the behaviors of identically designed riveted and welded panels are compared. Shear strength and the ...

Abstract: With the expanding availability of computer facilities in the universities, there seems to be a growing trend to emphasize the use of large computer codes, originated as general purpose commercial software and for research ...

Abstract: A dynamic analysis of stresses and deflections induced by moving vehicles and by linear temperature variations in airport pavements which lie on viscoelastic foundations is presented. The increasing demand for heavier loads ...
