Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate experimentally the local buckling strength and interaction strength between local and overall buckling of closed polygonal section steel columns. A total of 23 specimens was ...

Abstract: The purpose of this experimental work is to investigate the seismic resistance characteristics of rectangular-shaped steel bridge piers commonly found in rigid frames, concerning the cross-sectional aspect ratios. To this ...

Abstract: A curve-approximated hysteresis model of the lateral load-displacement behavior of steel bridge columns is proposed for nonlinear seismic response assessment of single-column-type bridges using single-degree-of-freedom ...
