Steel portal frames were traditionally designed assuming that beam-to-column joints are
ideally pinned or fully rigid. This simplifies the analysis and structural design processes, but …

Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composite is a useful material. It has been utilised to
enhance the structural behaviour of reinforced concrete beams (RCB). It is also crucial to …

Several structural collapse incidents indicate that failure usually started from beam–column
joints when exposed to abnormal loads. If the connections are sufficiently robust and there is …

Finite element analysis (FEA) using ABAQUS software was performed to investigate the
behavior of post-tensioned concrete beams. This study is an attempt to examine the …

Major events—notably the Broadgate fire in London, New York's World Trade Center
collapse, and the Windsor Tower fire in Madrid—as well as the enlightening studies at the …

This paper presents the numerical results of 6 beam–column joint tests using six types of
connections: web cleat, fin plate, top and seat with web angles (TSWA)(8mm thick angle) …

This paper reports experimental and numerical investigations on the behaviours of round-
ended concrete filled steel tube (RE-CFST) columns under combined pre-axial and impact …

Because of tectonic stress and dynamic disturbance, underground rock masses containing
pre-existing flaws usually undergo complex loading conditions combining static pre-stress …

The rotational behaviour of steel end-plate connections can be studied using the finite
element method for the following three reasons: 1) such models are inexpensive and robust; …

Heat affects the mechanical properties of steel and the bearing capacity of steel structures,
with joints being a crucial factor in determining their behavior. Steel can regain its …
