Comparison of optimal designs of steel portal frames including topological asymmetry considering rolled, fabricated and tapered sections [PDF]
, 2016 A structural design optimisation has been carried out to allow for asymmetry and fully tapered portal frames. The additional weight of an asymmetric structural shape was found to be on average 5 to 13% with additional photovoltaic (PV) loading having a ...

Investigation of Double-Layer Corrugated Steel Plate Shear Walls in Multi-Story Frames [PDF]
Journal of Rehabilitation in Civil EngineeringFlat steel plate shear walls (FPSWs) are widely used in steel structures, but they are prone to buckling under lateral loads. As an alternative, corrugated steel plate shear walls (CPSWs) have been introduced, in which the infill flat steel plate is ...
