The application of industry 4.0 technologies in pandemic management: Literature review and case study
Published 2021The Covid-19 pandemic impact on people’s lives has been devastating. Around the world, people have been forced to stay home, resorting to the use of digital technologies in an effort to continue their life and work as best ...Article -
Applications of Access
Published 2021-11-15Striving to reflect on the significance and comprehensiveness of access applications, we collected 19 chapters covering access research in seven main categories to illustrate the state-of-the-art of access applications ...Open AccessBook -
Approximate Analysis of Non-Uniform Torsion (No. R968)
Published 2021It is difficult to obtain closed form exact solutions for the non-uniform torsion of beams. Advanced finite element methods easily produce very accurate solutions, but simple programs are not widely available. One simple ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Assessing the Impact of Household Participation on Satisfaction and Safe Design in Humanitarian Shelter Projects
Published 2019-09-17Participation has long been considered important for post‐disaster recovery. Establishing what constitutes participation in post‐disaster shelter projects, however, has remained elusive, and the links between different ...Open AccessArticle -
The behaviour and design of concentrically loaded T-section steel columns (No. R933)
Published 2013The buckling behaviour of T-section columns is discussed in detail followed by a numerical study using geometric and material (GMNIA) analysis to produce column strengths for a wide range of geometries of Tsections and ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Behaviour of Cold-Formed SHS Beam-Columns (No. R696)
Published 1994This research report describes a test programme conducted into the behaviour of cold-formed, compact square hollow section beam-columns. the tests were conducted in a purpose built test rig capable of applying load and ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Behaviour of Cold-Formed Slender SHS Beam-Columns (No. R707)

The Behaviour of Drive-in Racks under Horizontal Impact Load (No. R871)
Published 2006This report is concerned with the behaviour of drive-in steel storage racks under horizontal impact load in the down-aisle direction. Such impact loads due to forklifts striking an upright us a major cause of structural ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Behaviour of Single Angle Steel Beams (No. R884)
Published 2007A single angle steel beam is commonly loaded eccentrically in a plane inclined to the principal planes (Fig. 1), so that the beam undergoes primary bending and shear about both principal axes, torsion, and bearing at the ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Bending and Buckling of Tapered Steel Beam Structures (No. R939)
Published 2013This paper describes an efficient finite element method of analysing the elastic in-plane bending and out-ofplane buckling of indeterminate beam structures whose members may be tapered and of mono-symmetric I cross-section. ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Bending Tests of Bolted End Plate Connections in Cold Formed Rectangular Hollow Sections (No. R736)

Biaxial Bending and Torsion of Steel Equal Angle Section Beams (No. R852)
Published 2005Although steel single angle sections are commonly used as beams to support distributed loads which cause biaxial bending and torsion, their behaviour may be extremely complicated, and the accurate prediction of their ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Biaxial Bending of Steel Angle Section Beams (No. R822)
Published 2002The loads applied to angle beams usually act out of the principal planes so that they cause simultaneous biaxial bending about both principal axes. The general practice for designing unbraced beams against biaxial bending ...Open AccessReport, Research -
