Steel fabricators and connection designers in the building construction industry often rely on traditional connection design methods, which involve using connection design software or spreadsheets to simulate and design connections with the goal of minimizing costs associated with fabrication and...

Residual stresses can have a significant impact on the stability of structural members. In the case of I-section beam elements, such stresses can impact lateral--torsional buckling (LTB) capacity, particularly in the inelastic range. I-sections are typically fabricated by either rolling as a...

It has become common for steel fabricators to find torsional loads included in the design documents of many industrial steel structures. These loads arise in wide-flange beam-to-column moment connections when the beam is subject to weak axis bending, which in turn, is transferred to the column as...

Modularization of buildings comes in several types, from prefabricated members to full volumetric models. Recently, the introduction of modular construction methods brought numerous benefits to the construction industry. Reducing construction time and costs together with improving quality and...

Oil and gas are known for their huge-size and complex projects that consist of multiple trades’ subprojects such as concrete, steel, and piping. These subprojects are executed within a confined area during a limited time frame. This requires careful planning and coordination between these...

Coped beams are susceptible to fatigue cracking in the web at the cope radius when subjected to tension in the coped region. Use of an adhesively bonded composite patch over the crack can reduce the stress concentration and delay further crack growth. This report contains the results of a...

Newer energy codes for buildings in Canada now require energy losses associated with thermal bridging in smaller components to be accounted for. In masonry cavity wall systems, most of the energy losses from thermal bridging are due to structural penetrations at floor levels located at the shelf...

Ductile steel plate shear walls are an established lateral load resisting system. Past research indicates that cold-rolled infill panels less than 1 mm in thickness present one solution to an overstrength problem arising from selecting an infill panel thickness based on ease of welding and...
