Abstract: This paper is aimed at evaluating the ultimate strength and ductility capacity of steel pipe section columns subjected to cyclic out-of-plane transverse loading as well as the constant in-plane eccentric vertical load. A ...

Abstract: This paper is aimed at investigating the ultimate strength and ductility capacity correlation between centrally loaded and eccentrically loaded steel columns subjected to cyclic transverse (horizontal) load at their top. ...

Abstract: During the Hyogoken-Nanbu earthquake near Kobe, Japan, on January 17, 1995, damage occurred not only in steel box-section bridge piers but also in pipe-section piers. The pipe-section piers are usually designed with ...

Abstract: The present paper is concerned with ductility evaluation of steel pipe-section bridge piers under cyclic loading. For this purpose, an elastoplastic large deformation analysis is carried out to obtain cyclic behavior of ...
