Buckling Analysis Design of Steel Frames (No. R891)
Published 2008-01-01Steel design codes do not provide sufficient information for the efficient design of steel structures against out-of-plane failure, and what is provided is often overly conservative. The method of design by buckling ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Finite Element modelling of steel drive-in rack structures (No. R901)
Published 2009-01-01Steel storage racks, principally made from cold-formed steel profiles, are freestanding structures and designed to carrying heavy loads. Yet the amount of material used in their fabrication is minimised in structural design ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Scaffold Cuplok Joint Tests (No. R893)
Published 2008-01-01This report describes the setup, procedure, and results of scaffold Cuplok joint tests. The aims of the tests are to investigate the joint stiffness for rotations about vertical and horizontal axes in various joint ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Numerical Investigation and Design Methods for Stainless Steel Columns failing by Interaction of Local and Overall Buckling (No, R888)
Published 2008-01-01This report describes research carried out at the University of Sydney to study the interaction of local and overall buckling in stainless steel compression members. A finite element model was developed taking into account ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Experimental test on steel storage rack components (No. R899)
Published 2009-01-01Steel storage racks are commonly used worldwide to store goods on pallets and represent complex and challenging freestanding structures to design. In the current competitive market, storage racks have to be able to carry ...Open AccessReport, Research
