Experimental investigation of full-range action-deformation behaviour of top-and-seat angle and web angle connections
Published 2018-12-01Web angle connections are usually categorized as a type of pinned connection whose moment resisting capacity is assumed negligible. Hence, there is a lack of experimental data in regard to the moment-rotation behavior of ...Open AccessConference paper -
System-based limit state design criterion for 3D steel frames under wind loads
Published 2019-06-01Advanced nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) enables the Direct Design Method (DDM) of a frame by computational analysis in place of designing members and connections to codified specific equations. The Direct Design ...Open AccessArticle -
Experimental Assessment of Bolted Moment End-plate Connections
Published 2019-08-01The paper summarizes experiments conducted at the University of Sydney on bolted moment end-plate connections. The overall context of this work was to obtain full-range moment-rotation curves of the connections which can ...Open AccessArticle -
System reliability-based Direct Design Method for space frames with cold–formed steel hollow sections
Published 2018-07-01Design-by-analysis methods for steel structures are receiving considerable attention from professional engineers, researchers and standard-writing groups. Designing by analysis, termed as the Direct Design Method (DDM), ...Open AccessArticle -
Fracture simulation of constructional steels in two fracture modes
Published 2019-07-01The paper presents a comprehensive study, aiming to provide useful tools for numerically predicting the fracture phenomenon in steel structures. A micro-mechanically-based fracture model is proposed, which comprises two ...Open AccessConference paper
