...Qinyu Zeng; Kuiliang Liu Purpose The application of steel structures in infrastructure construction may exhibit early-stage damage characteristics caused by dynamic load fluctuations and connection imperfections, which, if undetected, could pose significant safety risks. The paper aims to discuss...

... the results of a numerical model, which was developed using the finite element technique and the software “ABAQUS” to analyze a nine-floor steel structure. The model was capable to capture the stresses and the strains developed in beams and columns and the relationships of moment–settlement and rotation...
