Abstract: In composite beam design, headed stud shear connectors are commonly used to transfer longitudinal shear forces across the steel–concrete interface. Present knowledge of the load–slip behavior and the shear capacity of the ...

Abstract: Recent developments related to the analysis and design of liquid storage tanks are surveyed. Different aspects of the problem are examined. Background for finite element formulation is also outlined. A numerical tank model ...

Abstract: This paper presents a semianalytical method for the prediction of interlaminar stresses and displacements near the free edges and ply cracks in general angle-ply laminates subjected to biaxial extensions and/or in plane ...
