4 | Fatigue and capacity analysis of welded tubular K joints | Study stress distribution around the joint and compare with CIDECT manual. Check effect of filling chord with plane concrete on fatigue capacity. | Finished | N/A |
3 | Heat transfer analysis of steel connections with fire protection | 3D Heat transfer analysis for determining temperature distribution on connection and bolts for CHS columns connected to steel I beams with different type of connections. Study effect of coat back length when exposed to standard fire. | Finished | N/A |
2 | Simplified Thermal and Structural Analysis Methods for Cold-Formed Thin-Walled Steel Studs in Wall Panels Exposed to Fire from One Side | My thesis investigates the thermal and structural performance of cold-formed thin-walled steel structures in wall panel construction exposed to fire. I have developed two methods: first method is for calculating ultimate capacity of thin-walled steel columns/studs with non-uniform temperature distributions in the cross-section and second method is for calculating temperature distribution in the thickness of the wall panel included gypsum boards, steel studs and thermal insulation. (Abaqus Unified FEA for heat transfer and structural analysis and MATLAB has been used in this research for validation and implementation of the methods) | Finished | N/A |
