Plastic Buckling Approximation for Transition Ringbeams in Steel Silos
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An annular plate ringbeam at the transition junction of a uniformly-supported steel silo or tank is subject to a large circumferential compressive force that is derived from the radial component of the meridional tension ...
Collapse Strength of Complex Metal Shell Intersections by the Effective Area Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cone-cone intersections and cone-cylinder intersections with or without ring stiffeners are common features in silos, tanks, pressure vessels, piping components, and other industrial shell structures. ...
Three-Dimensional Finite-Element Analysis of FRP-Confined Circular Concrete Columns under Eccentric Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) jacketing/wrapping has become a widely accepted technique for strengthening/retrofitting reinforced concrete (RC) columns. Although extensive research has been conducted on FRP-confined ...
Strength Models for Fiber-Reinforced Plastic-Confined Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many theoretical and experimental studies have been carried out on fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP)-confined circular concrete specimens, leading to a variety of models for predicting their axial compressive strengths. In ...
Compressive Behavior of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer-Confined Concrete in Elliptical Columns
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Reinforced concrete columns can be strengthened by a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) jacket which provides lateral confinement to the column. This technique is very effective for circular columns, but its effectiveness is ...
Behavior and Modeling of Fiber Reinforced Polymer-Confined Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: One important application of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in the retrofit of reinforced concrete structures is to provide confinement to columns for enhanced strength and ductility. As a result, many theoretical ...
Ultimate Condition of Fiber Reinforced Polymer-Confined Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: One important application of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites is as a confining material for concrete in the retrofit of existing concrete columns by the provision of FRP jackets. Such jackets are commonly formed ...
Strength of RC Cantilever Slabs Bonded with GFRP Strips
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Strengthening of RC cantilever slabs using bonded glass-fiber–reinforced plastic (GFRP) strips has recently been explored. That work led to the proposal that the GFRP strips should be anchored to the supporting wall using ...
Design of Concrete-Filled FRP Tubular Columns: Provisions in the Chinese Technical Code for Infrastructure Application of FRP Composites
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In recent years, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have found wide applications in new construction. A popular type of hybrid member incorporating FRP is the concrete-filled FRP tube (CFFT), consisting of an FRP ...
Behavior of Hybrid FRP-Concrete-Steel Double-Skin Tubular Columns with a Square Outer Tube and a Circular Inner Tube Subjected to Axial Compression
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hybrid fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) concrete steel, double skin tubular columns (DSTCs) are a new form of hybrid columns. The most common sectional form of hybrid DSTCs consists of a layer of concrete sandwiched between ...
