Abstract Light Gauge Steel Framing (LSF) walls are made of cold-formed, thin-walled steel
lipped channel studs with plasterboard linings on both sides. However, these thin-walled …

This paper reports the results of a numerical investigation concerning the elastic and elastic–
plastic post-buckling behaviour of cold-formed steel lipped channel columns affected by …

The design of steel frames by advanced analysis (second-order inelastic analysis with
imperfections) of overall system behaviour is permitted in the American steel specification …

Industrial silos are used for storing a huge range of different materials. In the last decades,
many of these structures were damaged by natural events, among which the earthquakes …

Several steel design specifications worldwide have incorporated provisions for designing
through inelastic analysis of overall system behavior. However, requirements for minimum …

This paper provides benchmark solutions of space steel frames using second-order
distributed plasticity analysis. The majority of available benchmark solutions of steel frames …

Steel frames are used in many commercial high-rise buildings, as well as industrial
structures, such as ore mines and oilrigs. Enabling construction of ever lighter and safer …

This paper presents the findings from an experimental study of nine H-shaped steel beam-
columns with large width-thickness ratios subjected to combined constant axial force and …

This paper presents a new advanced analysis method, specifically a new improved fiber
plastic hinge method, for analyzing the nonlinear inelastic behavior of 3D steel frames …

Abstract Design-by-analysis methods for steel structures are receiving considerable
attention from professional engineers, researchers and standard-writing groups. Designing …
