Abstract: The effective‐width concept has been recognized as an efficient way to compute the strength of locally buckled thin‐walled members. In a previous paper, an effective‐width formula for a locally buckled plate in combined ...

Abstract: An experimental and theoretical study is presented on the strength of welded box compression members of high strength steel. The member cross sections are composed of plates with relatively large width‐thickness ratios so ...

Abstract: An experimental study on the strength and deformation of concrete‐filled square box stub‐columns is presented. Six specimens of concrete‐filled composite columns were tested under cyclic compressive loads. For comparison, ...

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: The seismic response of steel box columns modeling bridge piers is studied using the pseudodynamic testing method. The concept of the pseudodynamic test is reviewed. Scaled models of steel bridge piers of box section were ...
