Advanced analysis of composite steel-concrete frames for multi-storey buildings under extreme loading

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The benefits derived from advanced analysis include the ability to identify the exact collapse load of a structure, which is often far higher than that of an individual element. This is of immense importance when analysing a structure under extreme loading. Applications of advanced analysis in the past have ignored the higher order effects of flexural-torsional buckling, local buckling and partial interaction. This project aims to include these effects and will include both an experimental and theoretical investigation. The expected outcomes will include an improved understanding of the behaviour of composite frames and eventual implementation of advanced analysis in design.
