The slenderness ratio constraint is written as (6.28)Lry≤300 Although this constraint is not required for tension members, AISC (2005) suggests imposing it to avoid having members that are too slender. This may also avoid buckling of the members if reversal of loads occurs. Example 6.1 Selecti...
The torsional behavior and performance of the CFST members under local compression were also studied in recent years [7], [8]. Due to many advantages such as high strength/weight ratio, good corrosion resistance, easy construction and low cost etc, Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) has been ...
considering the column as a slender element and then increasing their thickness to comply with the width-to-thickness ratio of non-compact and high-ductility members. Moreover, in previous research [43] where a high-ductility box column was employed for the same connection configuration, the dime...
