The results of several perforated steel thin-walled U-shaped sections subject to compression are presented. The ultimate strength obtained from experimental tests is compared to the one obtained from numerical simulation by finite element method. The experimental tests were carried out according to the standard 10.2.02 of the FEM. The meshing, loading, boundary conditions for supports, geometri...

The system of steel shear wall is an initiative resistance system against the lateral load such as an earthquake and the wind that has been researched in the last three decades. Currently, this system is noticed more than other systems because of adequate stiffness, ductility, and more energy absorption. The system of steel shear wall with corrugated sheets has been offered as an innovative sys...

Corrugated Soil-Steel bridges have been used as drainage structures and underpasses in the ongoing Southern Highway project. Because the Soil-Steel bridges are novel to Sri Lankan context and the catastrophic bridge failure at Poddala, 2009 led to a controversy about the suitability and the stability of SoilSteel bridges. The structure safety against crushing failure of the corrugated steel arc...

Concrete filled cold-formed steel-concrete composite columns exhibit improved strength and ductility characteristics due to its ability resist inward buckling as well delay the outward buckling. Though concrete infill prevents buckling, still limits steel section from reaching yield strength. From past studies, it is observed that introducing of web stiffeners in cross-section may improve resis...

Abstract The paper shows the results of an experimental campaign aimed at investigating cyclic behavior a column-to-foundation joint for precast concrete elements. tested connection is realized adopting corrugated steel ducts embedded into foundation, in which column protruding rebars are anchored by grouting high performance mortar. program consists testing six full-scale reinforced square-sec...
