Abstract: A semianalytical method to predict the behavior of in-filled columns is presented in this paper. Moment-curvature-thrust relationships are generated for column cross sections by an iterative process. Nonlinear equilibrium ...

Abstract: The paper is concerned with an experimental investigation on simply supported steel–concrete composite plate girders subject to shear loading. Four composite and two bare steel plate girders were tested to failure in order ...

Abstract: When a slender beam is transversely loaded in the plane of its greatest flexural rigidity, it may buckle laterally at a critical load. It is common practice to provide web openings in beams for the passage of service ducts ...

Abstract: This paper deals with finite-element (FE) modeling and nonlinear analysis of steel–concrete composite plate girders under negative bending and shear loading. A three-dimensional FE model, using a general purpose finite-element ...

Abstract: This paper deals with experimental investigations to study the ultimate load behavior of I-beam to box-column connections stiffened externally. Specimens representative of interior columns in a steel building frame were ...

Abstract: Ultimate strength tests on welded thin‐walled steel box columns simply supported at the ends and subjected to biaxial loading are reported. A series of 28 large‐scale box columns of square and rectangular cross section ...

Abstract: A numerical method to investigate the ultimate strength behavior of thin‐walled steel box columns subjected to axial load and biaxial end moments is presented in this paper. The columns are of uniform cross section along ...

Abstract: The stability of symmetric pin‐ended square box column tapering from the mid‐length to the ends and subjected to the combined action of axial thrust and biaxial moments is investigated. Torsional‐flexural behavior is not ...

Abstract: Self-erecting structures eliminate the need for expensive scaffolding and are safer and faster to construct. This paper deals with the application of nonlinear analysis to study the erection of space trusses by tensioning ...

Abstract: This paper describes a method of inelastic analysis that provides the necessary degree of accuracy for studying the limit-state behavior of steel frames with composite floor beams subjected to the combined action of gravity ...
