Practical design of stepped columns

This paper deals with buckling aspects of the design of stepped columns in heavy mill buildings. In these structures, columns have to carry significant axial loads that usually act eccentrically and strength reducing bending moments due to lateral loads. A simple physical model for buckling behaviour analysis is proposed and formulated using the...

Structural performance of braced frames with practical simple steelwork connections

Requirements for column cap connections used in plastically designed continuous steel beams

Behaviour of high strength steel moment joints

The design of joints to European standard EN 1993 within the semi-continuous/partially restrained philosophy is restricted to steel grades up to S460. With the recent development of high performance steels, the need for these restrictions should be revisited. The semicontinuous joint modelling can be adopted as long as the joint develops...
