The seismic design provisions and stability requirements for steel columns used at the first storey of MRFs as specified is Canadian steel design standard (CSA S16), U.S. design provisions for steel buildings (AISC 341 and AISC 360), the New Zealand steel ...
We explore the effect of precisely defined geometric imperfections on the buckling load of spherical shells under external pressure loading, using finite-element analysis that was previously validated through precision experiments. Our numerical simulation ...
This paper discusses the findings from a large-scale experimental program that characterized the hysteretic behavior of typical steel wide-flange columns in steel moment-resisting frames (MRFs). The test specimens were tested in a cantilever configuration ...
Separation at the web-flange junction is a common failure mode of pultruded glass fiber-reinforced (GFRP) beams subjected to bending. The causes of this separation appear to depend on the presence of lateral supports to prevent lateral buckling. To clarify ...
Extended shear tab connections (either in full-depth or partial-depth configurations) have been widely used to connect simply supported beams to the web of supporting girders. Full-scale laboratory tests of extended beam-to-girder shear tab connections dem ...
In North America, a common design practice for steel frame buildings with perimeter steel special moment frames (SMFs) is to employ deep and slender wide-flange steel columns (i.e., range of column depth, d > 16 inches). Till recently, very little was know ...
Single plate shear tab connections are a simple means to connect beams to their supporting members. The tab is fillet-welded to the supporting column in the fabrication shop, and then field bolted to the beam web on the construction site. Sit-uations may a ...

This paper discusses the findings of an experimental program that was conducted to investigate the behaviour of extended shear tab beam-to-column and beam-to-girder connections that are commonly used in North America. The laboratory results showed that ext ...
Extended shear tab connections have been widely used to connect simply supported beams to the flange or web of supporting columns, as well as the web of steel girders. The American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) introduced the use of extended shear ...
This paper investigates the cyclic behavior of deep wide-flange sections, used as columns in steel Special Moment Frames (SMFs), through detailed finite element (FE) analysis. A wide range of wide-flange sections is subjected to symmetric cyclic lateral lo ...
