Abstract: External post-tensioning (PT) by means of high‐strength steel cables can be used to effectively increase the ultimate capacity of steel–concrete composite beams. Limited research exists on the fatigue behavior of such ...

Abstract: Current shear stud fatigue capacity recommended for design of shear connectors is based on experimental data from push-out tests, and there is a need to experimentally evaluate the fatigue performance of shear connectors ...

Abstract: Slender recycled plastic pins (RPPs) can be used to stabilize earthen slopes by driving the RPPs into the face of the slope to intercept the sliding surface and “pin” the slope. The RPPs will be subjected to lateral (bending) ...

Abstract: A research program was conducted to assess the capability of conventional non-load-bearing insulated precast concrete exterior wall panels to withstand blast loadings. Typical construction details from the tilt-up and ...
