R. Emre Erkmen and Magdi Mohareb
In a companion paper (R.E. Erkmen and M. Mohareb. 2006. Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering, 33: 421–439.), three finite elements based on the Vlasov thin-walled beam theory were formulated using a nonorthogonal coordinate system. Although the associated derivations are more elaborate than in more conventional solutions based on orthogonal coordinates, the new elements offer more modelling capabilities and flexibility in modelling structural steel members, a feature that is illustrated in this paper. In this context, the current paper presents four details in steel construction
