Lateral torsional buckling should be taken into account during the design of overhanging steel beams. One special type of overhanging beam is the crane trolley monorail. Lateral buckling of overhanging monorails under idealized loading and boundary conditions has been studied in the past using classical mathematical procedures. This paper aims to present a detailed investigation of overhanging monorails using finite element analysis. Effects of different loading and boundary conditions were studied in detail. It was found out that the location of loading and supports on the cross section have significant effects on the buckling capacity. Beams having different warping and torsional properties were analyzed. The effects of cross section distortion on buckling capacity were investigated for beams with single and double overhangs. The reduction in capacity due to cross section distortion has been quantified. Based on the analysis results, simple design recommendations were developed for lateral buckling of overhanging monorails, and they are presented herein.

Lateral buckling of overhanging beams Özdemir, Kerem Murat; Topkaya, Cem; Department of Civil Engineering (2005) Lateral torsional buckling should be taken into account during the design of overhanging steel beams. One special type of overhanging beams is the crane trolley monorails. Lateral buckling of overhanging monorails under idealized loading and boundary conditions has been studied in the past using classical mathematical procedures.

Seismic vulnerability, behavior and design of tunnel form building structures Balkaya, C; Kalkan, E (Elsevier BV, 2004-12-01) Multi-story reinforced concrete tunnel form buildings are one of the common structural types in regions prone to high seismic risk due to the buildings inherent earthquake resistance and ease of construction. Despite their good performance during earthquakes in 1999 in Turkey, and abundance of such structures scattered worldwide, current seismic codes and design provisions provide insufficient guidelines for their seismic design. As a compensatory measure, a series of modal and nonlinear static analyses are...
Seismic design of cold formed teel structures in residential applications Uygar, Celaletdin; Yılmaz, Çetin; Department of Civil Engineering (2006) In this study, lateral load bearing capacities of cold formed steel framed wall panels are investigated. For this purpose lateral load bearing alternatives are analyzed numerically by computer models and results are compared with already done experimental studies and approved codes. In residential cold formed steel construction, walls are generally covered with cladding material like oriented strand board (OSB) or plywood on the exterior wall surface and these sheathed light gauge steel walls behave as shea...
Isotropic-Kinematic Cyclic Hardening Characteristics of Plate Steels Shakeri, Ashkan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-03-01) Cyclic hardening of metals is considered as one of the most important features that affects extremely the hysteresis behavior of steel structures. One approach to study this characteristic is dividing it into two components, including isotropic hardening and kinematic hardening, and defining any of these components for any type of metals by calibrated data obtained from experiments. However, the lack of these calibrated data on metals, restricts this approach. Therefore, in this paper the isotropic and kine...
Seismic behavior and improvement of autoclaved aerated concrete infill walls Binici, Barış; Canbay, Erdem; Uzgan, Ugur; Eryurtlu, Zafer; Bulbul, Koray; Yakut, Ahmet (Elsevier BV, 2019-08-15) Performance of infill walls in reinforced concrete (RC) frames is generally questionable under the combined action of in-plane and out-of-plane seismic demands. Despite the vast number of tests investigating the behavior of brick masonry infill walls in RC frames, past research is limited for infill walls made of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks. In the first part of the study, six single-bay single-story half-scaled RC frames were tested under the action of in-plane cyclic displacement excursions a...
