Steel column base connections represent a critical aspect of modern structural engineering, particularly in seismic regions where the integrity and ductility of these joints can determine overall ...

A real-time hybrid fire simulation algorithm is developed and tested to capture the expected behaviour of a steel column within a structural frame, considering the slow thermal expansion of the stiff ...

New research shows steel I- and T-sections inside concrete beams can offset shear loss from web openings—enhancing safety in ...

Metal building system builders have an option to use straight columns or tapered columns to hold up the structure. In many metal building applications, straight columns may have more steel than they ...
