Reliability of partially encased steel-concrete composite columns under eccentric loading

Abstract The Brazilian design code for composite buildings (NBR8800) has never been subject to a reliability-based calibration of the partial factors used in design. As a consequence, the level of structural safety achieved by using these factors is, in general, unknown. This paper presents a study...
