Abstract The Continuous Strength Method (CSM) is a deformation-based approach to the
design of structures that enables a continuous, rational and accurate allowance for material …

Research on stainless steel structures has primarily focused on the structural response of
individual members, whilst the response of joints has received far less attention to date. This …

Concrete-filled double skin structural members, comprising of two metal tubes and concrete
infill between them, have been gaining popularity in structural engineering because of their …

This paper reports a detailed numerical (FE) study on planar stainless steel beam-to-column
joints. A nonlinear FE model is developed and validated against the first set on full-scale …

In recent years, numerous research works have been reported on the flexural response of
aluminium alloy tubular cross-sections. However, studies on monosymmetric cross-sections …

The application of aluminium alloys in structural engineering is growing owing to their high
strength-to-weight ratio, aesthetic appearance and excellent resistance to corrosion …

The structural behaviour and design of hot-rolled and cold-formed steel continuous beams
with square and rectangular hollow sections are studied in the present paper, with a focus …

Hybrid steel plate girders are used worldwide as primary structural members in steel and
composite bridges, when there is a need for deeper sections with greater stiffness and …

This paper presents the flexural behaviour of stainless steel beam-to-tubular column joints
with extended endplates subjected to static loading. Moment-rotation relationships were …

Traditionally, experimental research on structural members has focused on the isolated
fundamental cases of pure compression/tension, major axis bending or minor axis bending …
