An Overview of Recent and Current Research in Steel Structures
University of Sydney• Structural behaviour and design of metal structures• Structural testing of metal structures and their components• Finite element modelling of structural systems and components• Structural stability studies• Fatigue and fracture studies• Materials investigation of steel, stainless steel and aluminium
• Greg Hancock, Kim Rasmussen, Nick Trahair, Peter Ansourian, Andrew Abel, Lip Teh, Tim Wilkinson
• Raef Sully, Cameron Chick, Cathy Rousch, Colin Rogers, Ben Young, Anthony Hasham, Bogdan Put, Dan Popovic
• Mike Bambach, Demao Yang, Kevin Ye, Elisha Harris
• Staff (Xiao-Ling Zhao, Paul Grundy, Raphael Grzebieta, Bill Wong, Len Koss)
• Sponsors (ARC, BHP SPP, CIDECT, BHP Research -Melbourne Lab and Palmer Tubes Mills)
• Others (Greg Hancock, Russell Bridge, Nick Trahair, Don Sherman, Takeshi Mori, Lin-Hai Han)
CIDECT Guides Queensland University of Technology- Topics
• High strength Steel cladding systems under high wind forces - Local pull-through and pull-out failures, Static and fatigue performance
• Sandwich panel cladding systems - local buckling and flexural wrinkling • Advanced analysis of steel frames subject to local buckling effects • Full scale behaviour of low rise buildings under wind loads • Three-dimensional analysis and behaviour of steel portal frame buildings
including the effects of steel claddings• Cold-formed steel wall frames and trusses • Steel framed housing • Development of new cyclic test regime for roof claddings in cyclonic areas• Life cycle assessment of steel building systems
