the rotational friction dampers can be improved the seismic behavior of the steel structures, and they can be reduced the internal forces in the bracing members, columns and the other structural members. in this research, a simple method for modeling and analysis of braced frames equipped by these dampers is proposed. the proposed model describes seismic behavior of dampers very well and it is ...

The mechanical behaviour and design of fixed-ended steel equal-leg angle section members subjected to axial compression are addressed in this study. First, the critical buckling is described. Experimental data on columns collected from literature then used for validation numerical (shell finite element) models, developed within commercial package ABAQUS. Validation performed by means comparison...

In order to study the compression bearing capacity of concrete-filled rectangular stainless steel tubular columns, influence tube thickness, relative eccentricity, and slenderness ratio on is analyzed, then calculation formula proposed. The results show that finite element model can effectively simulate capacity, mean calculations Nufem test Nuexp 0.985, variance 0.000621. eccentricity have a g...
