Abstract: Local buckling and plastic hinges may occur in the compression flange of square hollow-section (SHS) beams under high amplitude cyclic bending arising from earthquakes. Once a local mechanism forms, residual strength rapidly ...

Abstract: An extensive test program on a range of cold‐formed rectangular and square hollow sections subjected to combined bending and concentrated force is described. The concentrated force was applied by welding a square hollow ...

Abstract: A large number of tests on a range of cold‐formed square and rectangular hollow sections subjected to pure bending, pure concentrated force and combined bending, and concentrated force are described. The concentrated force ...

Abstract: This paper describes a series of tests on empty and void-filled rectangular hollow section (RHS) braces subjected to static and cyclic axial loading. The braces were made from cold-formed C450 (450 MPa nominal yield stress) ...

Abstract: This paper describes a series of tests to failure of fix-ended tubular braces subjected to cyclic concentric axial loading. The braces were made from cold-formed steel grade C350L0 (350 MPa nominal yield stress) circular ...

Abstract: This paper determines new section slenderness limits suitable for design and construction of seismic resisting structural systems. It describes an experimental investigation of the cyclic inelastic flexural behavior of ...

Abstract: This paper presents a series of tests on high strength aluminum square hollow sections subjected to concentrated bearing load. A total of 64 web-bearing tests was conducted. The test specimens were fabricated by extrusion ...

Abstract: This paper describes welded-connection tests that were performed on rectangular hollow sections (RHS). The thickness of the RHS sections varied from 1.6 to 3.0 mm. Both butt welds and transverse fillet welds were tested ...
