BUSCADOR RECOLECTA

This file includes data on system vertical and lateral stiffness of stainless steel frames under gravity and gravity plus wind load scenarios obtained from the finite element simulations carried out on six stainless steel frames.

Data was generated using the general purpose finite element software ABAQUS and performing advanced nonlinear analyses. The database is comprised of ultimate load factors corresponding to different random samples of six different nominal stainless steel frames under gravity and wind load combinations. The values of the random variable assignments are given for each case. The full details of the finite element model can be found in: Arrayago, I.; Rasmussen, K.J.R.; Zhang, H. System-based reliability analysis of stainless steel frames subjected to wind loads. "Structural Safety", July 2022, vol. 97, art. No. 102211. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.strusafe.2022.102211

This file includes finite element simulation data (ultimate load factors) carried out on 60 steel and stainless steel frames, including regular and irregular frame configurations with different section sizes. Ultimate load factors corresponding to different initial imperfection combinations are included.
