Abstract: One assumption usually made in transmission‐tower analysis is that the joints are pinned. However this assumption is rarely realized, due to fabrication difficulties. Thus in practice, the tower members may experience ...

Abstract: The new generation of reliability-based load and resistance factor design (LRFD) method for the design of electric transmission line structures at member level is governed by

Abstract: As part of a larger experimental program on assessment and rehabilitation of damaged, internally ring-stiffened, steel tubular joints of offshore platforms, experimental investigation was carried out on undamaged, internally ...

Abstract: Corrosion fatigue is a complex phenomenon involving many variables. Welded‐steel tubular joints of offshore structures are subjected to corrosion fatigue due to the combined action of corrosive seawater environment and ...
