Experimental Study of High Strength Cold-Formed Stiffened Web Steel Sections (No. R889)
Published 2008-01-01High strength cold-formed steel sections are commonly used in a variety of applications including residential construction. These steel sections typically have a nominal yield stress of 550 MPa and the use of such high ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Structural Modelling of Support Scaffold Systems (No. R896)
Published 2009-01-01In this report, accurate three-dimensional advanced analysis models are developed to capture the behaviour of support scaffold systems, as observed in full-scale subassembly tests consisting of three-by-three bay scaffold ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Experimental Investigation of High Strength Cold-Formed C-Section in Combined Bending and Shear (No. R894)
Published 2009-01-01In roof systems, high strength steel profiled sheeting fastened to high strength steel cold-formed purlins of lipped C or Z-section are commonly used throughout the world. The design of such systems is performed according ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Comparison of Structural Design actions Part 4: Earthquake Actions in Australia AS1170.4 – 1993 & 2007 (No. R897)
Published 2009-01-01This report investigates the differences between the old AS1170.4:1993 code and the new AS1170.4:2007 code and has examined the implications to building frame structural systems. The principles of seismic design and the ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Investigation of Geometric Imperfections of Support Scaffold Systems (No. R895)
Published 2009-01-01The report describes the findings from various site measurements of geometric imperfections on support scaffold systems, also known as falsework in industry. The measurements consist of out-of-straightness of the standards ...Open AccessReport, Research
