Abstract: The cultivation of professional ability for undergraduate civil and construction engineering students is very important to help them meet the challenges that await them in the fast changing world. This paper presents a ...

Abstract: This paper presents experimental investigations on Bailey bridges. Seven one-sixth scale models of the Bailey bridge trussed-steel frame were constructed in the laboratory and tested. All members of the scale models of ...

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: Two simplified methods for second‐order inelastic analysis of steel frames, termed the modified plastic‐hinge and the beam‐column strength approaches, are presented. These analysis models are comparable to elastic‐plastic‐hinge ...
