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 -
Strength and Ductility of Single Point, Self-Drilling Fasteners in Bending and Shear (No. R872)
Published 2006The report describes tests on connections featuring self-drilling screws and gaps between the connected parts. Gap typically occur when using inserts of a smaller dimension than the overlapping section, e.g. a tube. In ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Isoparametric Spline Finite Strip Method for the Bending of Perforated Plates (No. R877)
Published 2007In a previous report [1], the isoparametric spline finite strip method was successfully applied to the in-plane stress linear elastic analysis of perforated thin-walled structures. In the present report the application of ...Open AccessReport, Research -
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 -
A three-dimensional numerical model for wave-induced soil response around the head of a breakwater (No. R859)
Published 2005The evaluation of wave-induced seabed response has been recognised as a dominant factor in analyzing the seabed instability in the vicinity of a breakwater. Most previous investigations for wave-induced pore water pressure ...Open AccessReport, Research
