Abstract: A steel–concrete composite wall with boundary elements of steel U-section was developed for high structural performance and efficient use of materials. Cyclic lateral loading tests were performed on the proposed walls to ...

Abstract: To study the effect of Grade 700 MPa longitudinal rebars and hoops on the deformation capacity of RC and composite columns, eight rectangular columns were tested under cyclic lateral loading and uniform axial compression. ...

Abstract: For better structural performance and constructability, a concrete-encased steel column that uses a steel cage prefabricated with bolt connections was developed. The steel cage consists of longitudinal steel angles and ...
