Abstract

This work presents the computational implementation and evaluation of a generalized strategy based on Strain Compatibility Method to obtain the initial and full yield curves of steel‐concrete composite structures. Due to anisotropy of concrete the evaluation of the full yield capacity [...]

Abstract

Non-uniform cooling of steel cross-sections during the manufacturing process generates a state of residual stresses in the cross-section. Design codes describe the distribution of these stresses in different ways. This work aims to numerically investigate the influence of these [...]
