Compression Tests of High Strength Cold-Formed Cross-Shaped Steel Columns (No. R869)
Published 2006This report describes the experimental investigation of a series of compressive tests on a stiffened-cross shape section fabricated from cold-formed high strength steel of thickness 0.42 mm and nominal yield stress of 550 ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Bifurcation of Locally Buckled Point Symmetric Columns-Analytical Developments (No. R866)
Published 2006The report derives the differential equations for the overall bifurcation of locally buckled point-symmetric columns. It is shown that flexural buckling about the minor and major principal axes are coupled in a locally ...Open AccessReport, Research -
LiteSteel Beams (LSB) Under Interior and End Bearing Forces (No. R849)
Published 2005This report describes a set of bearing tests on a new range of cold-formed steel sections, LiteSteel™ Beam (LSB™), subjected to concentrated bearing load. LSB sections are manufactured using a unique dual resistance welding ...Open AccessReport, Research -
A Semi-Analytical Solution of a Circular Tunnel Surrounded by a Poroelastic Medium and Subjected to a Moving Load (No. R857)
Published 2005In this study, dynamic response of a circular tunnel embedded in a porous medium and subjected to a moving axisymmetric ring load is investigated. To avoid treating Biot’s dynamic equations directly, two scalar potentials ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Swash-aquifer interaction in the vicinity of the water table exit point on a sandy beach (No. R863)
Published 2005The coupling of sandy beach aquifers with the swash zone in the vicinity of the water table exit point is investigated through simultaneous measurements of the instantaneous shoreline (swash front) location, pore pressures ...Open AccessReport, Research
