Zhang, Xi; Rasmussen, Kim | Tests of cold-formed steel portal frames with slender sections | Steel Construction | 3/2014 | 199-203 | Articles |
AbstractCold-formed steel sections are widely used in many applications such as structural frames, scaffolding systems, purlins and storage racks. In particular, cold-formed steel portal frames can be an alternative to conventional hot-rolled steel portal frames for industrial, rural and residential low rise buildings. The advantages of using cold-formed steels include a higher strength-to-weight ratio and reduced material, erection and transportation costs. x | |||||

AbstractStructural glass corresponds to an innovative material with extraordinary aesthetical and architectonic potential that has undergone significant technological advances in recent years, yielding it stronger and safer. For this reason, the use of structural glass has increased considerably in the last decade and is now an unavoidable presence in most of recent reference buildings. x | |||||
Kido, Ewa Maria; Cywinski, Zbigniew | The new steel-glass architecture of railway stations in Japan | Steel Construction | 3/2014 | 208-214 | Report |
AbstractThe accelerating needs of communication have led to many modern railway stations made of steel and glass being built or upgraded all over the world during the last two decades. That trend, influenced by local architectural traditions, is clearly evident in Japan, too. This paper, focusing on that trend, is a continuation of the authors’ previous publication [1]. x | |||||

Elghazouli, Ahmed Y.; Packer, Jeffrey A. | Seismic design solutions for connections to tubular members | Steel Construction | 2/2014 | 73-83 | Articles |
AbstractA review of seismic design solutions for connections is presented in this paper, with particular focus on methods that are already “pre-approved” or “acceptable to code” for use by engineers in steel-framed structures using hollow sections. This review is intended to illustrate the limited options currently available to structural engineers. The survey mainly covers European and North American design solutions, but the latter are also heavily influenced by Japanese practice. The scope includes both braced frame connections (utilizing hollow sections for the bracing members at least) and unbraced frame connections (utilizing hollow section columns), the latter including both rigid and semi-rigid beam-to-hollow section column connections. Dissipative and non-dissipative connection types are considered where appropriate. Emphasis is placed on connection configurations and concepts rather than detailed design information, but references to other sources are given for further details. Areas in which there is a paucity of established design guidance are noted, and the review concludes with recommendations for further research and development regarding specific types of connections to hollow sections subjected to seismic loading. x | |||||

Wardenier, Jaap; Choo, Yoo Sang; Packer, Jeffrey A.; van der Vegte, Gerhardus J.; Shen, Wei | Design recommendations for axially loaded elliptical hollow section X and T joints | Steel Construction | 2/2014 | 89-96 | Articles |
AbstractThis paper presents a summary, with background information, of the design recommendations developed recently for axially loaded X and T joints between elliptical hollow sections (EHS). These recommendations are based on experimental tests, finite element (FE) calibration and parametric studies carried out in a collaborative research programme between the universities of Singapore, Toronto and Delft. x | |||||
J. van der Vegte, Gerhardus; Wardenier, Jaap | Evaluation of the recent IIW (2012) and ISO (2013) strength equations for axially loaded CHS K gap joints | Steel Construction | 2/2014 | 97-106 | Articles |
AbstractOver the last decade, extensive numerical analyses have been conducted on axially loaded uniplanar K gap, T and X joints made of circular hollow sections (CHS), considering a wide range of geometrical parameters and different types of chord load. Based on the large amount of numerical data, in 2007, new joint capacity and chord stress equations were derived for CHS joints. This article presents detailed comparisons made between the (mean) strength equations for K gap joints and the experimental data available. These design equations were first discussed and approved by Sub-commission XV-E of the International Institute of Welding (IIW), subsequently published in the CIDECT Design Guide for CHS joints [1] and adopted in the 3rd edition of the IIW Static Design Procedure for Welded Hollow Section Joints [2], which formed the basis for the ISO 14346 recommendations [3] published recently. x | |||||

Ritakallio, Pekka; Björk, Timo | Low-temperature ductility and structural behaviour of cold-formed hollow section structures - progress during the past two decades | Steel Construction | 2/2014 | 107-115 | Articles |
AbstractCold-formed hollow sections are a widely used tubular construction material. The applicability, weldability and reliability of cold-formed rectangular hollow sections are sometimes questioned because of the consequences of cold forming and inhomogeneous cross-sections. One of the main concerns is related to the cold-formed corner areas and possible loss of toughness due to strain ageing in the vicinity of the welds. Conventional hot-rolled C-Mn steels are susceptible to strain ageing, and Eurocode 3 includes restrictions on welding in the cold-formed corner area. Both steelmaking and hot rolling have undergone crucial developments and this has had an impact on cold-formed hollow sections. Thermomechanically rolled fine-grain steels became state of the art at the end of the 1990s. This study confirms that cold-formed EN 10219 hollow sections made of suitable fine-grain steels have a similar Charpy-V toughness on the flat face and in the corner, and that even after ageing the transition temperature T40J in the corner area is at a very low level, typically below -50 °C. The load and deformation capacities of X- and K-joints fulfil the requirements without any noticeable ageing effects. The advances in steelmaking and hot rolling enable the manufacturing of reliable and versatile cold-formed EN 10219 hollow sections for welded structures with good low-temperature ductility even in the cold-formed corner area. x | |||||
Abspoel , Roland; Bijlaard, Frans | Optimization of plate girders | Steel Construction | 2/2014 | 116-125 | Articles |
AbstractThe costs of the self-weight of a structure have never been a real issue in the design of steel girders, since the material costs of a structural element are mainly determined by labour costs. The booming economies of China and India cause a continuously increasing demand for steel. This and the now stringent regulations regarding sustainability make material economy in design much more interesting. x | |||||

Lipp , Andreas; Ummenhofer, Thomas | Influence of tensile chord stresses on the strength of circular hollow section joints | Steel Construction | 2/2014 | 126-132 | Article |
AbstractThe current version of the Eurocode for the design of joints does not include any brace load capacity reduction for welded hollow section joints with tensile chord preloading as opposed to those without. However, the more recent 2nd edition of the CIDECT design guides or the ISO standard for welded hollow section joints includes a strength reduction due to tensile chord stresses. This paper presents the results of experimental and numerical investigations into how tensile chord stresses influence the capacity of circular hollow section X-joints. The conclusion of this study is a new chord load function proposal for circular hollow section joints subjected to tensile chord stresses. x | |||||

Gresnigt, A. M. (Nol); Karamanos, Spyros A. | Response of steel tubes under concentrated lateral loads | Steel Construction | 2/2014 | 133-140 | Article |
AbstractSteel tubes may be loaded by concentrated lateral loads such as support or impact loads. Impact loading, for example, is an important load case for buried pipelines that are struck during excavation activities, or large-diameter tubes during transportation (handling accidents). This paper presents an analytical model based on shell theory to determine the elastic-plastic load deformation behaviour. Test results are given as well as the results of finite element calculations. The finite element results and the model equations are in good agreement with the experimental results and illustrate the tube denting response. x | |||||
