Bracing Requirements for Multi-column Systems with Nonuniform Stiffness and Semi-rigid Connections
Zhang, Linbo (University of Waterloo, 2023-01-12)For a structural system consisting of multiple columns, horizontal discrete braces are often used to increase the system's load-carrying capacity by reducing the columns' effective length. Over the past several decades, ... -
Effects of beam axial deformations on storey-based critical gravity loads in tension-only semi-braced steel frames
Ma, Terence; Zhang, Linbo; Xu, Lei (Elsevier, 2021-04-01)If the beams in a structural frame are not connected to slabs or other rigid diaphragms, the beams will axially deform when the frame is subjected to lateral loads, reducing the critical loads and increasing local deflections ...
