Field Experiments to Investigate Occupant Perception and Tolerance of Wind-Induced Building Motion (No. R803)
Published 2000-01-01Field measurements were conducted at three control towers to determine occupant reaction to wind-induced building motion. The towers used were Brisbane Airport Control Tower, Sydney Airport Control Tower and the Port ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Deep Penetration of Strip and Circular Footings into Layered Clays (No. R807)
Published 2001-01-01The bearing behaviour of footings on layered soils has received significant attention from researchers, but most of the reported studies are limited to footings resting on the surface of the soil and are based on the ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Full-range Stress-strain Curves for Stainless Steel Alloys (No. R811)
Published 2001-01-01The report develops an expression for the stress-strain curves for stainless steel alloys which is valid over the full strain range. The expression is useful for the design and numerical modelling of stainless steel members ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Tests of Cold-Formed Rectangular Hollow Section Portal Frames (No. R783)
Published 1999-01-01This report describes tests on three large scale portal frames manufactured from cold-formed RHS in both Grade C350 and Grade C450 steel. The loading simulated gravity and wind loads. The connections, lateral restraint ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Moment Capacities of Steel Angle Sections (No. R809)
Published 2001-01-01Steel angle sections are commonly used as beams to support distributed loads which cause biaxial bending and torsion. However, the recommendations of many design codes are unnecessarily conservative when applied to the ...Open AccessReport, Research
