Understanding the effects of corrosion on steel members is essential for evaluating structural reliability and reuse potential. This paper investigates the axial compression behaviour of five rolled S355 steel members, including four specimens subjected to symmetric or asymmetric electrochemical corrosion and one non‐c...

Efficient steel use in modern structures requires targeted strengthening to reduce weight and enhance performance. This study investigates partial thickness induction hardening (IH) with optional tempering as a method to locally increase strength in S355 circular hollow sections (CHS) while limiting ductility loss comp...

Aluminium alloys used in construction are strengthened through various heat treatments to be suitable for load‐bearing applications. However, this enhanced strength can be severely compromised or even eliminated when the material is exposed to the high temperatures of a fire. A structural component might thus survive a...

This paper presents a numerical investigation into the effect of residual stresses on the structural response of T‐section columns under axial compression and assesses the accuracy of the column buckling curves specified in EN 1993‐1‐1. A nonlinear finite element model incorporating the effect of initial geometric impe...

This study presents the first systematic investigation of the strain rate dependent response of welded lean duplex stainless steel T-stub components through an integrated experimental and numerical modelling programme. Twenty-four T-stub specimens incorporating M16 and M20 fully threaded A4 – 70 and DX109 bolts were te...
