Investigation of Geometric Imperfections of Support Scaffold Systems (No. R895)
Published 2009-01-01The report describes the findings from various site measurements of geometric imperfections on support scaffold systems, also known as falsework in industry. The measurements consist of out-of-straightness of the standards ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Lateral-Distortional Buckling of Monorails (No. R898)
Published 2009-01-01This paper is concerned with the elastic lateral-distortional (LD) buckling of single span steel monorail I-beams and its influence on their design strengths. The distortion of a slender web reduces the elastic buckling ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Shear Buckling of Thin-Walled Channel Section with Intermediate Web Stifffener (No. R892)
Published 2008-01-01The elastic buckling stress of the web of a thin-walled section member in shear is generally improved by the presence of flange and lips. However, for webs with relatively large depth-to-thickness ratios, the local buckling ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Stillness tests, failure tests and load transfer in steel drive-in storage racks (No. R900)
Published 2009-01-01Steel storage racks, made of cold-fomied steel, are used extensively in industry for storing goods. Two main racking systems prevail, referred to as “selective” and “drive-in” racks. International racking design codes ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Finite Element Analysis of Structural Steel Elliptical Hollow Sections in Compression (No. R874)
Published 2007This paper presents a finite element investigation of the local buckling behaviour of the structural steel Elliptical Hollow Section (EHS) in compression. The theoretical elastic buckling load of an EHS is similar to that ...Open AccessReport, Research
