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 ... -
Storey-based stability of steel frames subjected to post-earthquake fire
(Fire Technology, 2020-02)Post-earthquake fires occur after earthquakes and have commonly been encountered throughout history. The fires are particularly deadly and threaten the stability of buildings as possible structural damages caused by seismic ... -
Storey-based stability of unbraced steel frames under piece-linear temperature distributions
(Elsevier, 2019-05-21)There are many cases where the elastic modulus of a structural member will vary longitudinally, such as when a steel column is heated by fire. In such a case, the fire can compromise the integrity of the structural frame. ...
