Abstract: In reinforced concrete columns, both constructability and structural safety should be considered in selecting the anchorage details of transverse reinforcement. For the simple installation of peripheral hoops, in this ...

Abstract: Concrete-filled U-shaped steel beams can be alternatives to conventional composite beams with I-section steel. In this study, a novel U-shaped composite beam is proposed, with a bolt assembly of two Z-shaped steel and a ...

Abstract: The seismic performance of exterior beam-column joints in low-rise buildings with limited ductility details was investigated. Seven exterior beam-column connection specimens were prepared for cyclic loading tests, and the ...

Abstract: For existing buildings in low and moderate seismic zones, various nonseismic ties not conforming to special seismic requirements have been used in columns for convenience in reinforcing bar placement. This study investigates ...
