Abstract:
This DEng thesis consists of 83 articles containing research material on the stability of thin-walled structural members and systems with emphasis on metal structures. Metal structures are used widely in the construction industry. They include structural members and frames made from rolled and fabricated steel, cold-formed steel, stainless steel and aluminium. Common to these products is the desire to minimise the cross-sectional area to reduce weight and cost. Structural cross-sections are therefore thin-walled and prone to buckling, and an overriding consideration in the design of metal str

Abstract:
Progressive collapse occurs when damage from a localized first failure spreads in a domino effect manner resulting in a total damage disproportionate to the initial failure. Recent building failures (e.g., World Trade Center twin towers) highlight the catastrophic outcome of progressive collapse. This research proposes a reliable and realistic retrofit technology which installs thin steel panels into steel building structural frames to enhance the system progressive collapse resistance.

Abstract:
The use of high strength steel has the potential to reduce the amount of steel used in bridge structures and thereby facilitate a more sustainable construction. The amount of steel and what steel grade that can be used in bridge structures and other cyclic loaded structures are often limited by a material degradation process called fatigue. The fatigue resistance of steel bridges are to a large extent depending on the design of structural details and connections. The design engineer is limited by a few pre-existing structural details and connections – with rather poor fatigue resistance – to c

Abstract:
The knowledge of the structural sensitivity of steel bridges, especially when its main structural elements are subjected to compressive forces, is one of the concerns of structural engineers. On the other hand, non-conventional actions or accidental actions require a certain robustness on the part of the structures in order to preserve their structural integrity, reduce the risk of severe consequences or even maintain their use. With a view to understanding the sensitivity of bridge structural elements to different categories of actions, this research work was conducted. In particular, asp

The results also show that the addition of steel fibres can partially substitute for the transverse reinforcement in RC columns, thereby improving constructability while achieving significant confinement.

Current structural steel design codes, such as EN 1993-1-1, were developed on the basis of a bi-linear (elastic, perfectly-plastic) material model, which lends itself to the idea of cross-section classification. This step-wise design concept is a useful, but somewhat artificial simplification of the true behaviour of structural steel since the relationship between the resistance of a structural cross-section and its slenderness is, in reality, continuous. The aim of this study is therefore to develop a more efficient structural steel design method recognising this relationship and rationally e
