From Furnace to Fairness: Atmospheric Sequences in Steel Museum Spaces
… explores the atmospheric sequences within a steel museum located in the South Side Works of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The South Side Works, once a historic steel production area, is now undergoing renewal and redevelopment, yet it still retains traces of its industrial past. The exploration …

Non-linear finite element analysis of steel plate tension members
In the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) LRFD specification, the shear lag coefficient for plate members is dependent on only the ratio of the welding length to the plate width. To determine how this ratio influences the shear lag coefficient and whether there are other factors that …

Time varying probability of failure of steel floor beams subjected to real fire
… for estimating the time-dependent reliability of steel beams under real fire conditions has been developed. It gives a more rational basis than time of failure modelling does for design. From risk modelling, some small resistance time from the probabilistic distribution times of failure can be …

A study of some features of the fully stressed design algorithm
… stressed design (FSD) of rigidly convected plane steel frames. The objective is to: (1) formulate the FSD algorithm consistent with the most recent AISC Manual of Steel Construction, (2) study the effect of some of the features of FSD on the final design, and (3) compare final designs with …

Behavior and Strength of Welded Stud Shear Connectors
… has shown that the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) specification equations for shear stud strength are unconservative for studs placed in deck with ribs transverse to the steel beam. Twenty-four solid slab push-out tests, 93 composite slab push-out tests, and bare stud …

Experimental Verification of a New Single Plate Shear Connection Design Model
… design method is found in the AISC 13th Edition Steel Construction Manual (2005b). The limited experimental work which led to the current method necessitated additional single plate shear connection investigations. This paper summarizes the results and analysis of eight full scale single plate …

The effects of corner radii on the local buckling of cold-formed sections
In steel construction the methods to produce structural members include hot rolling, forming and welding hollow section (HSS) and welding plates to form I's (WWF). Another method, which is less widely known but is growing in acceptance, is cold-forming from steel sheet or strip using roll-forming …

Evaluation of Existing and New Test Configuration for Headed Shear Studs
… are frequently used in building, combining a steel beam with either a concrete-filled steel deck or solid concrete slab. To ensure proper composite action, shear connectors, typically in the form of headed shear studs, are utilized. Traditionally, the strength assessment of these headed shear …

Behaviour of beam-to-column end plate connections in structural steelwork
… moment-resistant connections between members in steel frames. The popularity of these connections can be attributed to the simplicity and economy associated with their fabrication and erection. Both the flush and extended end plate types are widely used in steel construction …

The Densification of Historic Districts: Applying Metabolism to the Cast Iron
… transitions from traditional masonry into modern steel construction and from the process of manufacturing individual parts to the mass production of multi-purpose (structural, weather barrier, decorative) modular building components. Plans for population expansion are already partially laid out, …

Web crippling of hot-rolled beams at stiffened-seat connections
… three full-scale tests were conducted on steel-concrete composite beams to verify the accuracy of the proposed equation. Finally, the current web crippling equations and the proposed equation are compared for all available end web crippling data, and conclusions and recommendations are …

Large deformation structural performance of double skin composite construction using British Steel's 'Bi-Steel'
Double skin composite construction consists of two relatively thin steel plates with the space between filled with, usually, normal weight concrete. The transfer of shear between the steel and concrete is possible through the use of steel shear connectors that are welded to the steel plates. A …

On the Seismic Performance of Skewed Special Moment Frame Reduced Beam Section Connections
… connection welds. Current American Institute of Steel Construction (ASIC) provisions (i.e. AISC 341-16) provide prequalified SMF RBS connection details (including welding requirements); however, all prequalified details only consider orthogonal connections between the beam and column. This …

Hydrogen distribution and redistribution in the weld zone of constructional steels
… of electric arc welding revolutionized the steel construction industry, but also brought some problems when the welded region has inferior properties compared to the plate metal. A major cause of brittle failure was identi ed as hydrogen embrittlement of the weld zone, although a …

A computational study of the behaviour of hot-rolled portal frames in fire
… engineers can confidently design hot-rolled steel portal frame structure if it is kept at ambient temperature. However, as they are not aware of the potential collapse behaviour of such frames in fire, they tend to use heavy foundations with expensive fire protection materials applied to all …
