Abstract: Welded hollow spherical joints (WHSJs) are widely used in reticulated shell structures. WHSJs inevitably experience corrosion in their service life that significantly reduces their loading capacity, thus negatively affecting ...

Abstract: Socket-template steel scaffolds are supporting scaffolds that are commonly used in construction to support the gravity load of floor slabs. The buckling behavior of the overall scaffold is remarkably influenced by the ...

Abstract: The welded hollow spherical joint (WHSJ) is one of the most commonly used joints in reticulated shell structures. Corrosion at the surface of WHSJs has significantly different influences on the compression capacity of ...
