Abstract: Post‐buckling, post‐peak, and cyclic behavior of beam‐columns and frames are studied using a computer model developed on the basis of the Finite Segment Method, using generalized cyclic stress‐strain relationships and an ...

Abstract: The linear approximate expression for the

Abstract: Several methods of second‐order elastic analysis are developed here primarily for the practical use in mini‐ and microcomputers. To this end, the stiffness equations derived from the analytical solutions are first expressed ...

Abstract: The aim of the work described in this paper is to provide an improved interaction equation for the design of braced‐steel, cylindrical tubular beam columns. It is found that the current American Institute of Steel Construction ...

Abstract: The moment‐rotation relationships of semirigid steel beam‐to‐column connections including single and double web‐angle connections and top‐ and seat‐angle connections with or without double web angle, are developed. The ...

Abstract: The development of a data base on semi‐rigid steel beam‐to‐column connections at Purdue University using collected experimental test data is described. To build‐up this data base systematically, the Steel Connection Data ...

Abstract: For designing steel beam‐columns, the present AISC‐LRFD, AISC‐ASD linear interaction equations are simple to use, but they have some weaknesses. The AISC‐ASD interaction equations have a jump from a long to a short member, ...
