A study on using wide-flange section web under out-of-plane flexure for passive energy dissipation.
It is not common to purposely subject the web of wide-flange or I-sections to out-of-plane bending. However, yielding the web under this loading condition can be a stable source of energy dissipation as the transition at the corner from the web to the flanges is smooth and weld-free; this prevents s...
