Abstract: In this study, carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets were examined as a means to strengthening existing masonry walls allowing for efficient creation of doors, windows, and passage openings. The research reported ...

Abstract: A constitutive model that incorporates material dilation and the concept of continuum damage mechanics is developed to predict ductile fracture of steel under monotonic quasi-static loading due to microvoids. In this model, ...

Abstract: As both onshore and offshore pipeline constructions push further into higher risk terrains, such as geologically unstable terrain and the Arctic region, the risk of local buckling failure ...

Abstract: Ground movement along a buried pipeline often places the line in net compression. The local buckling resistance at cold bends is less than at straight sections, and hence, local buckling tends to occur at bends. Correspondingly, ...

Abstract: When a beam flange is coped to allow clearance at the connection, the strength of the coped region will be reduced. Local web buckling at the coped region may occur when the cope length is long and/or the compression flange ...
