The results of numerical calculations can and should be verified, but testing a complex detailed computational model is problematic. This possibility provided by simplified models represented simple schemes that are available for qualitative analysis, the obtained predictable. Such calculation schemes, as rule, describe individual tasks facing designers. For example, linear stability analysis o...

The objective of this paper is to explore the potential impact of the use of advanced high strength steel (AHSS) to form traditional cold-formed steel structural members. In this study, shell finite element models are constructed, and geometric and material nonlinear collapse analysis performed, on simulated lipped channel cross-section cold-formed steel members roll-formed from AHSS. AHSS shee...

A revised procedure for the design of steel plate shear walls is proposed. In this procedure the thickness of the infill plate is found using equations that are derived from the plastic analysis of the strip model, which is an accepted model for the representation of steel plate shear walls. Comparisons of experimentally obtained ultimate strengths of steel plate shear walls and those predicted...

The main object of this study is to compute the structural fire resistance for several steel members under different loading conditions. This is done in chapter 4 using two advanced calculation models. Chapter 1 contains prescriptions according to European codes, needed for this research. In Chapter 2 the notion of structural fire resistance is explained and also information about the types of ...

The design of end-plate connections for steel structures is more loosely specified in Chilean regulations than American regulations. Nevertheless, eight-bolt extended stiffened (8ES) have not derived benefit from extensive past research, and therefore, their normative recommendations are quite constraining. In this study, both the prequalification qualification limits evaluated, linear nonlinea...

Concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) members have high strength, stiffness, and ductility properties, which makes them favorable in structural applications. This study purposes to create a finite element analysis-based model for designing the peak strength of axially loaded CFSTcircular columns. To this aim, 314 test specimens presented previous experimental studies were investigated. In study, wa...

This article considers the seismic behavior of beam-to-column joints in steel frames for different bolt arrangements by using of finite element modeling. As the most important beam-to-column joint type, the beam-to-column joints with end-plate is chosen for the analysis. Four different specimens have been analyzed. These models had some differences such as bolt arrangement and the presence or a...
