Experimental data and videos of steel wide-flange and HSS columns tested under collapse-consistent loading histories

The experimental dataset is comprised of the following items:

(a) a summary table that contains the geometric and material parameters for each test specimen along with deduced quantities of interest with regard to the collapse behavior of each specimen;

(b) the deduced experimental data of wide-flange specimens;

(c) the deduced experimental data of hollow structural shape (HSS) specimens.

The deduced data contains normalized axial shortening, chord rotation and deduced moment (without member p-delta).

(d) The summary report of the experimental program along with an appendix of photos of each specimen is included together with the dataset.

(e) characteristic videos for each specimen that demonstrate the member performance through the loss of their lateral load carrying capacity.
