When observing the consequences of earthquakes, it is accepted that earthquakes are one of the most dangerous natural disasters in the world. Therefore, special engineering methods are used to explore and analyze the effects of earthquakes on structures and to design earthquake resistant structures accordingly. In applying these methods, it is important to investigate the irregularities in the carrier system correctly. There are six irregularities in the Turkish Building Earthquake Code (TBDY-2018), one of the most important of which is A1 Torsional Irregularity [TBDY 2018]. In this article, considering TBDY 2018, the dynamic behaviour of structures with different ratios of torsional irregularity in multi-storey steel structures is examined. In a 10-storey steel structure with the same purpose and size, four type models were produced using the central inverted V cross member and changing the cross positions. The Equivalent Seismic Load Method is used in the analysis. Structural analyzes were performed with the "ETABS" finite element program. As a result of these studies; The displacements obtained from the structural analysis of 4 models with different torsional irregularity coefficients due to the cross member placement in various places in 4 buildings with the same dimensions were calculated by the Equivalent Seismic Load method.

The deformation of the large steel structure truss system, which was subjected to constant loads, variable loads and wind loads, was calculated by using the 3D3S steel structure analysis program. The periods and the vibration mode from the first to the ninth order of the structure were obtained by the earthquake vibration mode period analysis. The dynamic computation of the structure showed that the period difference of the vibration modes is small. The frequencies and the modes of vibration from the first to the ninth order of the same structure mode were calculated by using the ANSYS finite element program. The frequencies and the modes of vibration from the first to the ninth order of the building were obtained by the dynamic analysis of the structure. The dynamic computation of the structure shows that the frequencies difference of the vibration modes is small. The vibration instability is possible for the structure.

This research aimed to study the design of the overhead crane of a small fishing boat maintenance factory according to the building and functional requirements of the project based on the ASME B30.2-2005 Standard. The results of the study showed that the design of the runway with steel structure BS: 5950: 2000 grade s460 provided vertical and horizontal deflection values of 4.96 and 16.62 respectively that did not exceed the allowed deflection. It is strong enough for use in construction when the stresses on the beam bridge were analysed by the finite element program compared with the strength of the reinforced steel providing a safety value of 1.83.

Abstract Corrugated steel plates are highly rigid and as the constructions can be immersed in soil, they can be used as soil-steel structures. With an increase of cover depth, the effectiveness of operating loads decreases. A substantial reduction of the impacts of vehicles takes place as a road or rail surface with its substructure is crucial. The scope of load’s impact greatly exceeds the span L of a shell. This article presents the analysis of deformations of the upper part of a shell caused by a live load. One of the assumptions used in calculations performed in Plaxis software was the circle-shaped shell and the circumferential segment of the building structure in the 2D model. The influence lines of the components of vertical and horizontal displacements of points located at the highest place on the shell were used as a basis of analysis. These results are helpful in assessing the results of measurements carried out for the railway structure during the passage of two locomotives along the track. This type of load is characterized by a steady pressure onto wheels with a regular wheel base. The results of measurements confirmed the regularity of displacement changes during the passage of this load.

Recently, a structure that is generally applied to the construction of multi-storey buildings is reinforced concrete structure. Structural steel is rarely used nowadays, yet in fact, the steel structures are still able to compete with reinforced concrete structures. Therefore, this study aims to determine the exact profile dimensions and the comparison of material prices between steel structures and reinforced concrete structures for columns and beams in redesigning H Building of Dr. Soetomo University, Surabaya. The WF profile steel will be used in this redesigning project. The structure is modeled using AutoCAD, and then imported into SAP2000 software. Modeling structure consists of columns, primary beams and secondary beams. The loads reviewed from the design are dead load, live load, wind load and seismic load. From the results of design review obtained, the overall strength of structure rearrangement is safe and it is obtained the beam profile dimensions of B1 WF 600x200x12x20, B2 WF 400x300x9x14 profile, B3 WF 400x300x9x14 profile, B4 WF 350x200x8x12 profile, and B5 WF 175x125x 5.5x8 profile, K1 WF 400x400x18x28 column profile, and K2 WF 400x400x21x21 column profile. The use of steel structures as a substitute for reinforced concrete structures for columns and beams in the building is a way more expensive with the percentage of steel structure 149.13% more expensive than reinforced concrete structure.

Steel structure, which has higher bearing capacity, smaller sectional dimension, convenient construction and economical investment, can be abroad used in engineering. However, due to a lot of reasons, the gradual expansion and convergence of the micro-defects lead to the macro deterioration of the mechanical properties of materials. By experimental research, theoretical analysis and computer simulation, the mechanical properties of the corroded steel beams strengthened with (prestressed) CFRP sheets were studied. According to the mechanical characteristics of corrosive steel beams and corrosive composite steel-concrete beams strengthened with prestressed CFRP sheets. By using ABAQUS finite element program, the calculation model of prestressed CFRP sheets strengthened corrosion steel beams and corrosion steel-concrete composite beams is established, and the working mechanism is studied. The calculation results show that: the bearing capacity of strengthened beams increase with the increasing of the initial prestress and CFRP sheets thickness, and decrease with the increase of steel corrosion degrees.

The Canadian Standards Association Standard CAN-CSA-S16.1-M89 “Limit states design of steel structures” assigns welded wide flange (WWF) columns to the column curve for rolled H-shaped sections. This is conservative because of differences in the production of WWF and rolled sections. The WWFs are stipulated to have flame-cut edges. The residual stress pattern, with favourable tensile stresses, results in a delayed loss of stiffness as weak axis inelastic buckling occurs. Thus the weak axis and strong axis buckling curves lie closer together for WWF shapes than they do for rolled H-shapes. Automatic cutting and welding processes result in close tolerances on out-of-straightness. As well, the statistical variations in the geometric properties are favourable. A detailed analysis of data collected from mill records and on-site measurements was made to obtain statistical parameters of relevant geometric and material properties. A finite element program modelling inelastic behaviour, residual strain patterns, out-of-straightness, and material properties was used with the test results of others to establish test-to-predicted ratios of column strengths. Parametric studies provided an assessment of the effect of varying residual strain patterns and column out-of-straightness. This formed the basis for determining the factored compressive resistance of WWF sections for three different slenderness ratios. Key words: columns, inelastic analysis, out-of-straightness, residual stresses, welded wide flange.
