Synthesized experimental results and theoretical formulations to evaluate allowable stresses under in-plane compression and in-plane bending.
Derived allowable load-carrying capacities and mechanical spring constants for bolted joints.
Developed an equivalent beam modeling procedure to simulate glass panels under seismic and wind load actions.
Formulated design criteria for allowable stresses in toughened glass subjected to combined in-plane structural loads.
Established analytical expressions for bolted joint capacities and rotational spring stiffness for structural modeling.
Demonstrated structural safety verification through equivalent beam modeling under environmental and seismic design actions.
