Abstract: This paper deals with the development of simple, yet accurate design formulas for elastic stability of finite plates, simply supported and reinforced with multiple equidistant stiffeners, under shear. Several stiffener ...

Abstract: This paper presents practical methods for predictions of strength and ductility capacity of thin-walled steel box girders with longitudinally stiffened webs predominantly loaded in shear. The shear behaviors of the girders ...

Abstract: This paper presents an innovative structural system, named weld-free system, developed to overcome the difficulty in the quality assurance encountered in construction of steel moment resisting frames with conventional ...
