TL;DR: In this article, the structural behavior of corroded steel angle members under compressive load was investigated and the influence of corrosion on compressive capacity was measured and compared to analytical methods accounting for weight loss.

TL;DR: In this article, a multi-level friction model for multilayered strands subjected to multiaxial loads is proposed. But the model is not suitable for multilevel strand configurations.

TL;DR: In this article, the replacement of traditional materials (steel, wood and concrete) in electricity transmission lines by fiber glass pultruded members was investigated, and the experimental results were summarized in terms of the failure mode, critical buckling load and load-displacement relationships.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple method has been developed and validated with experimental results for assessing the performance of bridges designed according to the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code (CHBDC), based on the data collected from published experimental investigations and field investigation reports of recent earthquakes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present experimental tests conducted to investigate the local buckling behavior of thin-walled tubular polygon steel columns under concentric compression and show that the buckling mode of failure depends on the type of the cross-section.
