HILONG investigated innovative cross-sections and structural arrangements which enable the benefit of high strength to be maximised by suppressing buckling and reducing deflection. The study focussed on long span applications, such as trusses for stadia, exhibition halls etc. The strengths...

The objective of the BASIS project was to develop design guidelines for low to medium rise steel-framed buildings to resist explosions caused by industrial accidents. The focus was on situations where the blast impacts the whole (or a large part) of the elevation of the building facing the...
