Net section resistance in bolted cold-formed steel angles of members under tension is analyzed in this work. The efficiency reduction due to shear lag and eccentricity effects in bolted connections is studied using finite ...

The expected failure mode of T-joints between rectangular hollow sections subjected to bending moment with a ratio of the brace width () over the chord width () below 0.85 (i.e., ) is the chord face failure, produced by ...

Stainless steel possess better strength and stiffness reduction factors at high temperatures than carbon steel which has been shown to result in enhanced fire performance of structural components and assemblies. In recent ...

This paper presents a numerical modelling study investigating the response of stainless steel two-dimensional frame assemblies at elevated temperature that has not been the subject of detailed investigation to date. Finite ...

The use of composite beams with partial interaction, with less shear connectors than those required for full interaction, may be advantageous in many situations. However, these beams tend to show higher deflections compared ...

Additive and subtractive technologies are disrupting numerous fields in society at various levels. Until recent years, 3D printing has been limited to considerably industrialized sectors that have been historically provided ...

Stainless steel frames with compact cross-sections are capable of redistributing internal forces at room temperature and forming plastic failure mechanisms, which is reflected in the new generation of structural codes for ...

In composite beam design, headed stud shear connectors are commonly used to transfer longitudinal shear forces across the steel-concrete interface. This paper describes the structural performance of shear connection in ...
