Effects of beam axial deformations on storey-based critical gravity loads in tension-only semi-braced steel frames
(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 ... -
Effects of column imperfections on capacity of steel frames in variable loading
(Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 2019-11-15)The presence of column initial imperfections in a steel frame can increase deflections and decrease its load carrying capacity. A method is proposed for evaluating the lateral stiffness, inter-storey displacement and ... -
Shear deformation effects on stability of unbraced steel frames in variable loading
(Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 2019-11-11)The generalized lateral stiffness equation of a semi-rigidly connected frame with accounting for shear deformation is derived in this paper. The lateral stiffness equation can be used to determine the critical loads of ...
