Abstract: AbstractThe present study investigates the elastic lateral torsional buckling capacity for steel I-beams strengthened with side plates. The provision of side plates near the ends of a simply supported beam is intended to ...

Abstract: Elevated pipelines systems are commonly supported by flexible steel frames at regular intervals. During operation, these systems can be subjected to sources of harmonic excitations. In order to control the vibration response ...

Abstract: AbstractThe study formulates a model to characterize the structural response of high-rise buildings with nonsymmetric plan layouts involving shear walls of general cross-section geometries acting as a lateral force resisting ...

Abstract: Elevated pipelines systems are commonly supported by flexible steel frames at regular intervals. During operation, these systems can be subjected to sources of harmonic excitations. In order to control the vibration response ...

Abstract: Laminated glass units used for glazing buildings consist of two thin glass plates bonded together by a thin core material, called polyvinyl butyral (PVB). As the plates are usually thin and undergo large lateral displacements, ...

Abstract: This study presents a detailed assessment for the response of elbow elements in ABAQUS under internal pressure. Two main cases are considered: (1) a standalone 90 deg pipe bend, which was analyzed using both elastic and ...
