Abstract: The results of a series of 14 full‐scale tests on reinforced concrete pipe columns are reported. For each of these tests, a complete set of synchronously measurements, covering the entire range of loading, are acquired. ...

Abstract: In current engineering practice, to evaluate the stability of columns in frames with rigid and semirigid connections, one must estimate the effective length factor (

Abstract: In this paper, a general solution of an

Abstract: The stability behavior of rigid and semirigid frames bent in the weak axis is investigated using a hardening plastic hinge method. The stability limit load of frames is usually overpredicted by the simple plastic hinge ...

Abstract: This paper provides insight to the background of the development and requirements for panel-zone design in the 1986 AISC LRFD specifications. In particular, two criteria for the design of beam-column panel zones are ...

Abstract: Although significant progress on the modeling of concrete behavior has been made in recent years, no unified treatment of the existing mathematical models from which a comprehensive three‐dimensional constitutive model can ...

Abstract: The aim of this work is to provide further numerical and experimental verifications of the validity of the AISC load and resistance factor design (LRFD) interaction equations for the design of biaxially loaded beam‐columns ...

Abstract: Concrete constitutive relations which can simulate the overall material behavior up to and including its ultimate state under general triaxial loading conditions have been developed. The proposed ...
