Finite Element Modelling and Parametric Studies of Perforated Thin-Walled Steel Columns (No. R948)
Published 2014This report presents a comprehensive parametric study on the ultimate strength of perforated cold-formed steel columns using the Finite Element package ABAQUS. FE models were first developed for columns predisposed to local ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Experimental Investigations into Interactive Buckling of Ultra-Light Gauge Steel Storage Rack Uprights (No. R927)
Published 2012This report presents an experimental investigation into the behaviour of ultra light-gauge steel storage rack uprights subjected to compression. Two different types of members with varying lengths are tested and while the ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Probabilistic Assessment of Support Scaffold Systems (No. R911)
Published 2010This research report presents comprehensive studies of the effects of uncertainties in material properties, initial geometric imperfections and joint stiffness on the ultimate system strength of multi-storey steel support ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Distortional Buckling of Overhanging Monorails (No. R906)
Published 2009This paper is concerned with the elastic lateral-distortional (LD) buckling of overhanging steel monorail I-beams and its influence on their design strengths. Distortion of a slender web reduces the elastic buckling ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Numerical Simulation of High Strength Cold-Formed Purlins in Combined Bending and Shear (No. R904)
Published 2009The report provides numerical non-linear simulation, based on the finite element method (FEM) using the software package ABAQUS/Standard, of high strength C-section cold-formed steel purlins in shear and combined bending ...Open AccessReport, Research
