The Generalised Constrained Finite Strip Method for Thin-Walled, Prismatic Members Under Applied Shear (No. R963)
Published 2016The constrained finite strip method (cFSM) is an extension of the semi-analytical finite strip method (SAFSM) of structural analysis of thin-walled members, where consideration of the displacement fields utilised and of ...Open AccessReport, Research -
In-Plane Behaviour of Web-Tapered Beams (No. R956)
Published 2015Shear stress distributions in tapered web I-beams are incorrectly predicted by the conventional beam analysis method used for uniform beams. More accurate predictions are obtained by adopting the finding for wedges that ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Reliability-Based Design of Truss Structures by Advanced Analysis (No. R936)
Published 2013A formwork for determining a system resistance factor in LRFD is presented. A truss composed of HSS members based on current design specifications is chosen for analysis. To reflect real structures, the truss system is ...Open AccessReport, Research -
In-Plane Behaviour of Mono-Symmetric Tapered Beams (No. R957)
Published 2015Shear stress distributions in mono-symmetric tapered I-beams are incorrectly predicted by the conventional beam analysis method used for uniform beams. More accurate predictions are obtained by assuming that the normal ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Interaction Buckling of Tapered Beams (No. R955)
Published 2013There have been comparatively few studies of the elastic lateral buckling of braced or continuous tapered beams, and these are limited in their application. Lateral buckling is affected by the separate effects of moment ...Open AccessReport, Research
