Energy Absorption Capacity of Composite Beams

Local buckling may occur in the compression flange of rectangular hollow-section beams under cyclic repeated loadingarising from earthquakes. Once a local mechanism forms, residual strength rapidly reduces within a few cycles. This is trueeven for compact sections under static bending. This paper ai...
