Structural analysis of steel frames is typically performed using beam elements. Since these
elements are unable to explicitly capture the local buckling behavior of steel cross-sections …

Steel framed structures are affected, to greater or lesser extent, by (i) geometrical
nonlinearity associated with the change in geometry of the structure under load and (ii) …

Austenitic stainless steel is an excellent construction material for structures required to
withstand accidental loads such as seismic and/or fire events due to its appropriate …

Austenitic stainless steels offer a suitable combination of high ductility, adequate toughness,
considerable strain hardening and good fire resistance, making them excellent construction …

Application ofadvanced analysis' methods suitable for non-linear analysis and design of
steel frame structures permits direct and accurate determination of ultimate system strengths …

Steel frames are used in many commercial high-rise buildings, as well as industrial
structures, such as ore mines and oilrigs. Enabling construction of ever lighter and safer …

This paper presents the findings from an experimental study of nine H-shaped steel beam-
columns with large width-thickness ratios subjected to combined constant axial force and …

In the conventional refined plastic hinge model, the section is assumed to be compact and
the strength deterioration by local buckling is not considered. In this paper, a refined plastic …

This paper presents some shaking table tests for a one-bay, two-story steel frame under
simulated earthquake loading. The test frame was designed to be capable of showing the …

This paper presents a method of finite element (FE) modeling and analysis of the seismic
behavior of fully prefabricated steel frames with end-plate joints, flexible braces and …
