Spring 2012
Partially encased composite columns consist of thin-walled built-up H-shaped steel sections with links welded near the flange tips and concrete cast between the flanges. The use of PEC columns under concentric axial load only was incorporated into the Canadian steel design standard, CAN/CSA...

The behavior of steel plate shear walls under the effects of lateral loads depends on the stiffness of the surrounding frame members. Previous research has quantified the minimum required stiffness of columns in the middle stories of steel plate shear wall systems. As the columns of the steel...

Lateral–torsional buckling is a stability-related failure mode of unbraced or insufficiently braced flexural members. In recent years, several concerns have been raised regarding the adequacy of the Canadian steel design standard, CSA S16-14, in characterising the lateral–torsional buckling...

Steel cantilever plate connection elements are rectangular steel plates that are distinguished from other connection plates by their two opposite unrestrained edges. The increased length of cantilever plate connection elements in some connection configurations raises concern regarding the...
