Evaluation of accuracy and reliability of structural analysis and steel design software
… and reliability of three structural analysis and design programs were evaluated. The three programs considered were MicasPlus, STAAD III, and GTSTRUDL. Nine different test cases of three basic steel space frames were analyzed and designed using the programs. The nine cases were formed by modifying …

SEITRON SEIsmic elecTRONic handbook : a knowledge based systems approach to structural steel design
The Canadian steel code, CAN3-S16.1-M89, has become increasingly complex with the introduction of new seismic provisions, Clause 27, in its 1989 edition of the Handbook of Steel Design. The implementation of these provisions is meant to provide the necessary ductility and redundancy requirements …

Implications of P-Delta analysis and LRFD of gable frames
… developments in the philosophy of structural steel design have led to design specifications that incorporate second-order geometric effects. The use of second-order elastic analysis (SOEA) in the design of structural frameworks may lead to more economically designed structures and increased …

Beam behaviour of hybrid steel sections
… of practice contain few guidelines on how to design such members. Apart from the lack of design guidelines, recommendations in many steel design codes apply only to steel grades with specified yield strength less than 460MPa. The purpose of the research was, firstly, to examine the development …

Verification and evaluation of structural analysis and design software
… the Intergraph MicasPlus structural analysis and design software and to evaluate its functionality. The components of MicasPlus to be considered in the study include linear static analysis and steel design and code checking in accordance with the AISC Allowable Stress Design specifications. The …

Assessing possible economic or operational benefits of class 3 webs without stiffeners vs class 4 webs with stiffeners in steel plate girders
… of the largest available rolled I-section, designers should not always tend to lean towards sections with slender web as is common practice encouraged by design standards to get the highest moment carrying capacity. Design codes or standards adopted by different countries and sometimes …

Resistance Factor for Cold-Formed Steel Compression Members
… LRFD strength reduction factor for cold-formed steel compression members can be increased above its current value of Ï c = 0.85, which was established by the LRFD Cold-Formed Steel Design Manual (1991) on the basis of 264 column tests. The resistance factor in the Canadian code for cold-formed …

Seismic Evaluation of Welded Moment-resisting Connections
… column flange in seismic areas. New Zealand’s steel design standard is the only standard that allows using fillet welds for the fabrication of welded connections in high seismic zones. However, NZS 3404 standard employs an overstrength factor in designing of fillet welds to assure the reliable …

Innovative accessible sunken floor systems for multi-story steel buildings
… and computer equipment, building owners and designers are facing an increasingly difficult problem for wire management in today's electronic workplace. This thesis is to investigate and design the accessible sunken floor systems for multi-story steel buildings with proliferating data cables …

The design and analysis of static pallet racking systems.
… be achieved within the constraints imposed by design and safety considerations. This basic requirement has ensured that most current rack designs consist of thin-walled (<3mm) steel elements whose self weight typically accounts for between 2% to 3% of the total weight of the structure. In …

Elastic Lateral Torsional Buckling of Beams Strengthened with Cover Plates while under Loading
… increase in service loads relative to original design loads make it essential to develop effective techniques for strengthening and rehabilitating existing structures, to enhance their resistance. An effective method for strengthening existing steel I-beams is to weld either one or two cover …

Buckling-Restrained Braced Frame Connection Design and Testing
<p>As typically designed, the beam-column-brace connections of buckling-restrained braced steel frames have undesirable failure modes that compromise the integrity and performance of the frames and are costly to repair. To decrease the time and resources needed to repair the frames following an …
