Abstract: In recent years, extensive and increasing use has been made of space trusses, especially in the form of double‐layer space grids. In the design, almost unlimited possibilities exist in practice for the choice of geometry ...

Abstract: High‐strength bolted connections in round bar steel structures in which the bolts are subjected to direct tension are studied. Special attention is paid to the prying action in the connection. A theory is developed that ...

Abstract: The fatigue life of offshore steel structures under stochastic loading is studied. Of special interest is the problem of fatigue damage accumulation, and in this connection, a comparison between experimental results and ...

Abstract: Fatigue damage accumulation in steel highway bridges under random loading is studied. The fatigue life of welded joints has been determined both experimentally and from a fracture mechanics analysis. In the experimental ...
