Abstract: The critical load of a steel frame structure is dependent on joint details and flexibility. For a conventional type of skeletal structure made up of beam and column elements, the geometrical change is normally negligible. ...

Abstract: In certain types of steel framed structures members can be subjected to significant distributed axial as well as lateral loads along their lengths. The behavior of the member is complicated by the nonlinear interaction ...

Abstract: A beam‐column element with springs connected in series is presented for efficient and effective geometric and material nonlinear analysis of steel frames with semirigid connections. When incorporated into a computer program ...

Abstract: Loads such as those caused by wind, snow, and dead weight act along members in a frame structure. This type of member loads is extremely common in the practical design and analysis of structures. However, most research ...

Abstract: In this paper, an iterative quasi-Newton procedure based on the Regula-Falsi numerical scheme is proposed for the rapid sectional analysis and design of short concrete-encased composite columns of arbitrary cross section ...

Abstract: Most research on semirigid jointed frames include only the rotational flexibility of the joint without consideration of the flexibility in the direction of the shear force. This paper investigates the nonlinear frictional ...

Abstract: A robust finite element procedure for large deflection and inelastic analysis of imperfect steel frames with semirigid base is proposed and the nonlinear behavior of semirigid frames with various modes of initial imperfection ...

Abstract: Existing research on semirigid jointed frame includes only the rotational flexibility of the joint without consideration of the flexibility in the direction of the transverse shear force. This omission would lead to ...

Abstract: An analytical procedure is proposed to establish the nonlinear moment-rotation (
