Abstract. The paper proposes the use of innovative devices devoted to brittle collapse protection welded steel sections, typically represented by end beam cross-sections in framed structures. Reference is made I-shaped cross-sections. At first, limiting case plane stress, relevant elastic domain defined N,T,M space; then a frame equipped with proposed and subjected seismic load condition studie...

Failure in cold-formed steel beams is generally initiated by one of three instabilities: local, distortional, or lateral-torsional buckling. For cold-formed steel joists, purlins, or girts, when the compression flange is not restrained by attachment to sheathing or paneling, distortional buckling may be the predominant failure mode. Experimental results on cold-formed steel beams with unrestrai...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this in-vitro study was to compare canal transportation and centering ability of Twisted and Hyflex Rotary Files with stainless steel hand k-flexofiles by using Spiral Computed Tomography. MATERIALS & METHODS A total of 90 freshly extracted human mandibular single rooted Premolar teeth were selected. The crowns were flattened with steel disks and a final dimension of...

concrete filled steel tube columns (cfst) are a kind of composite columns according to advantages of cfst relative to reinforced concrete and steel columns. use of these materials is common in recent years especially in high building, unnecessary of molding, high ductility, proportionate resistance with low volume, economical, low deformation relative to steel columns are among advantages. in t...

grate bar is an industrial part which is used in the indurating furnace of an iron ore pelletizing plant. steel part ofthe grate bars are expected to have high resistance to atmospheric oxidation because of its contact with hot gases(up to 920 °c) during the normal operation of the process. in this study, different samples from several sections ofused grate bars with apparent defects were selec...

Usage of cold formed steel structural components for buildings and structures is gaining popularity in India for a decade. Hot rolled steel member behaviour and design are well developed, whereas the cold formed steel member behaviour and design is not developed fully compared to the rest of the world. The Indian code for cold-formed steel design, IS 801 was revised during 1975, which is in lin...

Cold-formed steel (CFS) has emerged as a prominent choice for structural components and sections in the construction industry [...]

in this paper, moment-curvature behavior and ductility of prestressed concrete members based on nonlinear analysis is investigated. influence of various design parameters on ductility of flexural members is determined according to appropriate materials models for stress-strain curves of concrete, prestressing steel and conventional reinforcements. parameters studied include reinforcing index (ω...

The main objective of this study was to numerically assess the effect of boundary elements with different types of steel and concrete materials on nonlinear behavior of composite steel–reinforced concrete wall (CSRCW) by employing ABAQUS software. Two types of common steel profiles including box and I-shaped sections, located at the middle and extremities of the wall, were employed to assess th...
