ULTIMATE STRENGTH OF STRUCTURAL STEEL MEMBERS (I)

Ultimate Collapse Strength Assessment of Damaged Steel-Plated Structures

In an unpredictable world where human intervention or unexpected environmental conditions can prevail, damage can occur to manmade structures. Whilst structural design allows for redundancy, or a structural capability beyond the general working load of the structure, it is necessary to be able to analyse and understand the residual capability of a damaged structure to ensure the safety of perso...

Ultimate Collapse Strength Assessment of Damaged Steel Plated Grillages

Across many industries damage events leading to a breach in structural integrity continue to occur. An area where this can lead to particularly unsafe conditions is in the maritime environment, where it may be difficult to rescue crew and cargo. In order to improve structural safety through design for the survivability or to assess the residual strength of a damaged vessel in an emergency respo...

Application of artificial neural networks to evaluation of ultimate strength of steel panels

Structural design of ships and offshore structures has been moving towards limit state design or reliability-based design. Improving the accuracy and efficiency of predicting ultimate strength of structural components, such as unstiffened panels and stiffened panels, has significant impact on our daily structural design. Empirical formulations have been widely used because of its simplicity and...

Behavior of high strength structural steel at elevated temperatures

This paper presents the mechanical properties of high strength structural steel and mild structural steel at elevated temperatures. Mechanical properties of structural steel at elevated temperatures are important for fire resistant design of steel structures. However, current design standards for fire resistance of steel structures are mainly based on the investigation of hot-rolled carbon stee...
