Reliability Analysis of Stiffened Panels
This paper presents a methodology to assess the reliability against collapse of structural members, as typified by the buckling collapse of stiffened deck panels in ship structures. This...

Effects of Sea Surface Movement on Offshore Structures
Examinations are made of the effects of the sea surface movement on the fundamental model response of deep-water, Wave-excited offshore structures. These effects are accounted for by using...

Cyclic Performance of Riveted Connections
As part of a larger experimental project on seismic performance of older steel frames, seven concrete-encased and unencased connections were tested. The specimens consisted of both riveted...

Seismic Behavior of Non-Ductile Concrete Frame Structures
Non-ductile reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures designed and constructed during the 1950's through 1970's exist in many regions of the United States. The frames of these structures...

Seismic Retrofit of R/C Columns with Inadequate Lap Splices
This paper presents experimental results on the use of rectangular steel jackets to improve the seismic performance of rectangular steel jackets to improve the seismic performance of rectangular...

Analysis of Unstiffened and Stiffened Tubular Members Under External Pressure and Structural Loads
This paper summarizes some important results concerning the ultimate capacity of stiffened and unstiffened tubes under combined loading. Such tubes are candidates for use in offshore structures...

A Generalized Approach to the Local Stability of Stiffened Plates: Part I?Mathematical Formulation
The paper describes a generalized approach for the determination of the buckling stress of stiffened plates under combination of uniform biaxial compression, in-plane bending and shear...

A Generalized Approach to the Local Stability of Stiffened Plates: Part II?Approximate Solution
The paper presents an approximate solution for the prediction of the buckling stress of stiffened plates under combined loadings. A closed form expression is presented for the buckling...

Compressive Strength of Large Scale HSLA-80 Steel Cellular Sections of a Double Hull Ship Structure
An analytical and experimental large scale test program was conducted to investigate the instability failure modes of cellular double hull box sections. The main emphasis of the study...

Evaluation of Cast Iron Columns for Safety and Reliability
Cast iron columns exist in numerous vintage buildings. Alterations to these buildings often require analysis and modification of the structural system. This paper identifies codes that...

Design and Analysis of the 712 Fifth Avenue Structure
New York City's 712 Fifth Avenue is an extremely-slender concrete tube tower. This text addresses the structure's lateral structural system, wind analysis, computer model, thermal analysis...

The Slender Tower of 52-54 East End Avenue
The structural system for the 52-54 East End Avenue project is presented. The 40 story residential tower with as aspect ratio of 12: 1 is one of the most slender buildings constructed...

Gothic Structure and Design: Narbonne Cathedral
Viollet le Duc considered Narbonne Cathedral to be one of the best constructed Gothic buildings in France. The ambulatory piers are single courses of stone bonded into adjacent walls....

Floor to Wall Anchors in Historic Brick Buildings
The poster presentation at the Structures' Congress details a retrofit analysis performed on the Gilroy Historic Commercial Building, which was instrumented during the Loma Prieta Earthquake....

A New Way of Teaching Structural Engineering With the `AN/EX' Mini-Laboratory
Students in the AN/EX lab first use a custom-written preprocessor to generate a proper input file to run the professional-level M-STRUDL structural analysis program to predict the load...

Review of Cold-Formed Steel Purlin Design
The use of cold-formed steel members as roof purlins for single story industrial and commercial buildings is commonly recognized. These members typically have either a C- or Z-shaped cross...

Column and Beam-Column Design - A World View
This paper is concerned with the design of columns and beam-columns in steel building frames. Design provisions found in some selected codes viz. AS DR87164 87(Australia), BS5950 Part...

Some Aspects of Compression Member Design in Australia
The paper summarizes and elucidates the provisions of the Australian Standard AS4100-1990, Steel Structures, for the design of compression members. Emphasis is placed on those aspects...

Glass-covered Lightweight Spatial Structures
The double curved reticulated spatial structure with triangular mesh is the most favorable basis for a translucent roof. But this structure, especially is directly glazed without intermediate...

A Design for a Football Stadium Roof Enabling Growth of a Natural Grass Playing Surface: Sydney Football Stadium - Australia
This paper discusses the development of a design for a stadium roof which will provide conditions allowing the growth of a wearable natural grass surface suitable for sports including...
