Moment Capacities of Steel Angle Sections (No. R809)
Published 2001-01-01Steel angle sections are commonly used as beams to support distributed loads which cause biaxial bending and torsion. However, the recommendations of many design codes are unnecessarily conservative when applied to the ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Three-Dimensional Non-Conforming Element (No. R808)
Published 2001-01-01The performance of three-dimensional hexahedral elements has been compared in this study. The standard quadratic 20-noded hexahedral element has shown robust performance in many applications, however, it has a high number ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Compression Tests of DuraGal Angles Loaded Parallel With a Leg (No. R799)
Published 2000-01-01This report presents the results of 11 compression tests performed on cold-Formed, inline galvanised, slender 50x50x2.5 DuraGal equal angles. The angles were tested between pinned ends and loaded axially with eccentric ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Strength of Flare-Bevel and Flare-Vee Welded Connections in G450 Sheet Steels (No. R806)
Published 2001-01-01This paper investigates the reliability of the existing design equations specified in AS/NZS 4600:1996 for flare-bevel and flare-vee welded connections in cold-reduced high-strength G450 sheet steels. The existing design ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Finite Element Analysis of Plastic Bending of Cold-Formed Rectangular Hollow Section Beams (No. R792)
Published 1999-01-01This report describes the finite element analysis of rectangular hollow section (RHS) beams, to simulate a series of bending tests. The finite element program ABAQUS was used for the analysis. The main aims of the analysis ...Open AccessReport, Research
