Abstract: Local and global instabilities are usually treated as separate phenomena in the design of steel beams in buildings. In the past, such a notional decoupling of these local and global manifestations was necessary in the ...

Abstract: Currently, designers experience difficulty when trying to gauge the flexural ductility of a given single angle member due to the lack of single angle flexural compactness criteria in the American steel building specification. ...

Abstract: This paper outlines the results from a research program aimed at studying the impact that certain features of the uniaxial material response representation of steel have on the structural behavior of compact I-shaped beams ...

Abstract: Redecking operations executed on urban bridges that experience large traffic volumes frequently require carefully orchestrated construction sequences carried out during times of nonpeak traffic. In such a construction ...

Abstract: Composite floor systems, constructed with cold-rolled corrugated steel decking covered with concrete, are a common design scenario in current construction practice. The limit state that most frequently controls the design ...

Abstract: Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bridge deck systems offer an attractive alternative to concrete decks, particularly for bridge rehabilitation projects. Current design practice treats GFRP deck systems in a manner ...
