...Mojtaba Labibzadeh; Mohsen Bagheri; Abdolghafour Khademalrasoul; Khandaker M.A. Hossain Purpose This paper aims to study, the effects of opening shape, size and position as well as the aspect (height-to-length) ratio on the shear capacity, stiffness, ductility and energy dissipation capacity...

... Truss Cold-formed steel Hot-rolled steel Deflection Experiments Strength Stiffness Steel roof trusses are preferred over the conventional timber ones, mainly due to their improved performance from strength, stiffness and durability considerations. In areas receiving heavy snow fall, steel...

... models were carried out. Design/methodology/approach The test design method and analysis are used for the seismic performance of the EBIMFCW. Findings With the increase of shear-span ratio: the walls tend to occur bending failure even more, the initial stiffness of the wall decreases, the overall...
