Experimental investigation of fixed-ended hot-rolled austenitic stainless-steel unequal-leg angles under compression
Structures2024 An experimental evaluation of stainless steel unequal-leg angles exhibiting elastic and inelastic buckling with comparison to existing design provisions.
Experimental Verification of Eccentrically Loaded Steel Joist Analysis with Nonsymmetric Sections
Journal of Structural Engineering2023 This paper demonstrates how a novel line element, which is available for use in MASTAN2, can account for nonsymmetric cross-section behavior resulting in a reasonable prediction of steel joists subjected to nonstandard loading, specifically eccentric loading to one bottom chord angle.
Influence of torsional stiffness in double-angle open-web joist and joist girder chords
Journal of Constructional Steel Research2022 This paper investigates the buckling behavior of double-angle joist chords, while discussing the differences between the AISC and SJI design provisions with respect to buckling capacity. Through this work, a mechanical reason for this difference was identified, which provided an explanation how the different procedures are consistent with each other while making simplifying assumptions for practical design applications.
