Measures Against Wind-Induced Vibrations of Bridges
The design of very flexible structures, such as long-span steel bridges, are frequently governed by wind-induced vibrations. This paper introduces the present situation of the cable-supported...

Wind Tunnel Aeroelastic Model Study of the Baytown Bridge (Steel Alternative)
Analytical and full bridge aeroelastic model studies performed to assess the aerodynamic stability of the steel alternative Baytown Bridge over the Houston Ship Channel are described....

Dynamic Behavior of Three J.S. Cable Stayed Bridges
Dynamic considerations in the design of three recently designed cable stayed bridges are discussed. The presentation includes analysis for eigenfrequencies and eigenmodes, assessment of...

The Far? Bridge?Long Life at Low Costs
The superstructure of the bridge is a steel structure which proved to be competitive compared to the tendered concrete solution, due to simple and rational design both structurally and...

Methods for Improving the Seismic Response of Concentrically Braced Steel Frames
This paper briefly reviews various factors contributing to the poor performance occasionally observed in concentrically braced steel frame structures during recent earthquakes. Several...

The Design and Construction of the Washington State Convention and Trade Center Over Interstate 5
The Washington State Convention and Trade Center is a 10-level, 1,000,000-square foot facility constructed over Interstate 5 in downtown Seattle. The project spans over three city streets...

Behaviour of Thin-Walled Channel Sections in Bending
The effects of local buckling on the behaviour and load carrying capacity of thin-walled cold formed steel plain channel sections is examined. The bending is applied in such a way that...

Simplified Steel Compression Member Design
The objective of this paper is to present a simplified method of designing steel columns subjected to axial loads and moments for use in situations where automated design methods are inappropriate....

Code Designed Steel Frame Performance Characteristics
Three similar steel ductile moment-resisting frame structures designed in accordance to the Uniform Building Code (1976-1985) are evaluated for their performance characteristics during...

Prediction and Measurement of Wind Response: Case Story of a Wind Sensitive Building
The wind-induced horizontal accelerations of a 43 story office tower in New York City were monitored during 11 occasions over a period of about six months. The building dates back to the...

Anchorage Forces for Z-Purlin Supported Standing Seam Roof Systems
This paper presents the results of a limited study to determine if the provisions of Section D. 3. 2. 1 'Anchorage Bracing for Roof Systems Under Load with Top Flange Connected...

Rational Design Approach for Tension on the Net Section
A study of the bearing and net section capacities of bolt connections for material thicknesses encountered in cold-formed members was conducted. This paper summarizes the findings as they...

Stability and Limit Loads of Steel Space Trusses
An investigation of the behavior of cold-formed steel space truss structures, under the interaction of local, member, and overall buckling is described. A Finite Element computer program...

Flexibly Connected Thin-Walled Steel Frame Response
The static response of flexibly connected plane frames composed of thin-walled steel members is presented. Analysis capabilities include post-local-buckling strength and elastic semi-rigid...

Bending Strength of Thin Cold-Formed Steel Straight Panels
An experimental investigation on the bending strength of 26 gage cold-formed corrugated steel straight panels with web-depth to thickness (h/t) ratio of 475 is presented. A typical test...

Multiple Bolt Row Moment End-Plates
This paper presents a portion of the results of a study to develop design procedures for the extended, multiple row, moment end-plate configuration. This configuration is used in steel...

On Steel Connection Data Bank at Purdue University
The aim of the establishment of the steel beam-to-column connection data bank program at Purdue University in 1986 was to provide the necessary data base for the determination of the moment-rotation...

Moment Rotation Curves for Double Framing Angles
Moment-rotation curves for bolted framed steel connections are derived from force-deflection data obtained from laboratory tension and compression tests of angle segments. These derived...

Practical Analysis of Flexibly-Connected Building Frames
Modeling of flexible connection behavior as elastic-perfectly plastic is proposed for analysis of building frames, and results based on this idealization are compared with fully non-linear...

Centrally Loaded Columns
The paper has given a detailed description of the chapter on centrally loaded columns that will appear in the 4th Edition of the Structural Stability Research Council 'Guide...
