This paper presents the experimental and numerical investigation on resistance of two-
storey steel sub-frames subjected to a middle column removal scenario. Two different types …

This paper presents the strain rate behaviour in tension of the S355 structural steel using a
modified Split Hopkinson Tensile Bar for the mechanical characterisation at high strain rates …

This paper presents an experimental study of two full-scale steel beam-column assemblies,
each comprising three columns and two beams, to (1) define their response characteristics …

Steel-braced concentric frames (SBCFs) are a popular form of structure and has been widely
employed in seismic regions owing to their high strength and elastic stiffness; however, the …

The design criteria and the corresponding performance levels characterize the response of
extended stiffened end-plate beam-to-column joints. In order to guarantee a ductile …

The present study proposes a new-type all-bolted connection that can be used to connect
trusses to columns and columns to columns on site in modularized prefabricated multi-rise …

External installation of steel braces is an effective approach to increase the lateral load
resistance of steel moment-resisting frames. However, the effects of existence of steel …

Methods for assessing structural robustness need to move away from the traditional norms
of prescriptive rules and become more similar to those used in conventional structural …

This paper presents the anti-progressive collapse performance of different stiffness
connections of a steel frame. Three specimens with double full-span assemblies from a steel …

As an important part of the steel frame structure, the bolted-welded hybrid connection joint
has a significant impact on the overall behavior of the structure and the prevention of …
