This paper aims to present the axial behavior of a new composite column through an experimental and computational investigation. Four distinct configurations novel CF-CFS columns were evaluated. The test setup results documented in detail, including load-bearing capacity, load–deformation, failure modes. buckling steel components (thin-walled profiles) was investigated. mitigation local caused by concrete supporting thin-walled plates explored. Additionally, numerical simulations performed...
Seismic design criteria allow enhancing the structural ductility and controlling damage distribution. Therefore, detailing rules requirements given by current seismic codes might be also beneficial to improve robustness. In this paper a comprehensive parametric study devoted quantifying effectiveness of for steel Moment Resisting Frames (MRF) in limiting progressive collapse under column loss scenarios is presented discussed. The overall performance was analysed through nonlinear static...
In North America and Europe, there is a significant number of centenary metallic bridges that require maintenance strengthening operations. These structures need to be adapted increasing traffic intensities, their structural integrity should constantly evaluated. Fatigue damages were not considered in the original design old bridges, riveted connections are one most frequent sources fatigue on these structures. This paper intends contribution for reliable assessment behavior by proposing S-N...
This paper presents a comprehensive investigation into the behavior of column webs/faces under out-of-plane loading within steel joints. The experimental component study involves testing five profiles, encompassing both open and closed sections with varying web slenderness grade, subjected to direct tensile loads through bolted connections, utilizing single double rows bolts. Concurrently, numerical simulations are conducted using finite element models, thoroughly calibrated results. Drawing...
