High-strength steel (HSS) is critical to modern buildings and civil engineering structures. Novel research, methods, and designs are continually being developed. High-Strength Steel Structures presents advances in the fundamental mechanical performance of HSS structures, and design guidance and methods for practical engineering. The book considers the fundamental behaviour of HSS structures, including their material properties, and sectional residual stress distribution, long and stud columns subjected to compression, and seismic performance. The volume presents the latest advances from a leading research group, based at Tsinghua University in China, and most of the findings described here are new to national or international standards. The book gives details on the experimental, theoretical and numerical studies that went into the mechanical performance, design methodology and engineering application of an innovative structure system. Six chapters introduce HSS structures; consider their material properties; the residual stress modelling of HSS sections; the overall building behaviour and local buckling behaviour of HSS columns; and finally the seismic behaviour of HSS structures. This title offers a comprehensive reference for practicing engineers and architects, and a blueprint for future studies on the design and practical engineering of HSS structures. Presents the latest research and advances in high-strength steel structures Presents findings not yet covered by national or international standards Describes a range of experimental programmes on high-strength steel structures including their data Details robust scientific design methods for high-strength steel structures with typical structural elements Offers innovative design methodologies, as well as research methodologies valuable for future research
