Structural Steel Tensile Fracture-Inception Prevention Limit State and Ductility Criteria
This paper proposes using the tensile-fracture-inception-prevention (TFIP) limit state and ductility parameter/criterion for a safer fracture-resistant design of the tension members of steel structures. Finite element (FE) analysis revealed that the tensile band localization strain (TBLS) is signifi...
