Simulation of Lateral Torsional Buckling of I-Shape Cellular Steel Beam with Application of Transverse Stiffeners

To find ways of reducing the risks of lateral torsional buckling on the perforated sections in web by adding transverse stiffeners is the purpose of this study. The comparison of the T-shaped transverse stiffeners and normal transverse stiffeners was found that the use of T-shaped transverse stiffeners with the thickness increasing, reduce the lateral displacement…

Flexural Capacity Prediction of Composite RC Members Strengthened with UHPC Based on Existing Design Models

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC), a new generation of cementitious materials with very high strength, ductility, and durability, has been used for enhancing reinforced concrete (RC) structures as a strengthening material. The structural performance of RC members strengthened by UHPC or UHPC-concrete composite members is significantly improved. However, there are few methods for predicting the capacity of…
