Load-Introduction resistance of column webs in strong axis beam-to-column joints

peer reviewedPresent paper is aimed at presenting the results of the study performed at F1 the University of Liege on the deformability and the resistance of column H5 web panels in strong axis beam-to-column joints, when subjected to ‘:5 transverse loads carried over by the beam(s). "S Formulae for the assessment of the ultimate resistance and stability E (buckling and crippling) of the column webs are proposed; they are based on me the conclusions of a parametrical study which is briefly described. b‘ Present paper is restricted to the beam-to-column joints with ll or I E‘ hobrolled sections
