Net section rupture in tension members with connection eccentricity
Tension members consisting of single and double angles, single channels and similar sections are frequently used for lateral bracing and as truss elements. Such members will normally have eccentric connections, and it is often permitted, by current design specifications, to neglect this …

FEA methodology for system-level redundancy evaluation: Application to non-composite steel bridges
<p>Currently, all steel bridges with members designated as Fracture Critical Members (FCMs) are required to undergo hands-on inspections every 24 months. A FCM is a primary steel tension member (or portion of) which failure results in collapse or loss of serviceability of a bridge. However, …

Validation of the deck behaviour due to post-tension loading of Ashton arch bridge
… 110 metres below the arching ribs. The tie-beam members, connecting the arch ribs, each have six longitudinal tendons that have primarily straight profiles. The author set out to validate the structural behaviour of the tie-beams, after the post-tensioning construction stage. This objective was …
