Skorpen, Sarah Anne; Dekker, N.W. (South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2014-04)Finite Element methods have been used by civil and structural engineers since the 1960s, and the theory behind this is well researched. However, there is still a lack of direction on how to use the information obtained ...
-
Burdzik, W.M.G.; Dekker, N.W. (South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 1999)Problems attributed to the bracing of timber roofs have necessitated a fresh look at the bracing criterion given in the timber design code, SABS 0163 (1994). The difference between bracing provided for stability of the ...
-
Dekker, N.W. (South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2002)Circular hollow sections are commonly used in lattice towers. The geometry of hollow circular sections provides particularly effective compression members. Fully developed welded endconnections are generally considered ...

Burdzik, W.M.G.; Dekker, N.W. (South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2002)The notable increase in problems related to the bracing of timber roofs clearly indicates that the time is ripe to seriously consider amended rules governing the design of such bracing. Burdzik et a1 have proposed a set ...

Dekker, N.W.; Burdzik, W.M.G.; Marshall, Vernon (South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2004)The structural design codes particular to the various structural materials appear to have developed in isolation. Structural mechanics, methods of analysis and limiting-stress-based calculations are common to all materials. ...
-
Dekker, N.W. (South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 1999)In order to validate the principal assumptions inherent to plastic design of frames and continuous beams, it is necessary to predict the available rotation capacity at positions in the structure where plastic hinges are ...
-
Dekker, N.W.; Burdzik, W.M.G. (South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2005)With the common and widespread use of PC-based design packages in the design of Steel Structures, it is of fundamental importance to revisit the basic principles contained in and sometimes omitted from common analysis ...
-
Burdzik, W.M.G.; Dekker, N.W. (South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2012-04)In South Africa, timber-trussed roofs supporting concrete tiles have for many years often been braced solely by means of diagonal braces. Failures have shown that the diagonal brace was inadequate for larger span roofs, ...

Dekker, N.W.; Burdzik, W.M.G. (South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2002)complex interaction between the bracing system and the member. Most studies have involved sophisticated computer analysis and as such the behavioural aspects have been clouded, especially when the results of such studies ...
