Finite element modeling, widely used for structural analysis, traditionally depends on idealized geometries that assume perfect fabrication or standardized imperfection profiles. While such assumptions are acceptable in early‐stage design or theoretical studies, they often fall short in capturing the true behavior of a...

Metal building systems are commonly used for warehouses, schools, and shelters in rural communities, where their low cost, ease of construction and adaptable structural layouts make them a practical choice. However, these systems are vulnerable to tornado‐induced wind loads, particularly at roof corner regions, where i...
