Abstract: This paper presents a test program on aluminum alloy thin-walled square and rectangular hollow sections in combined axial compression and minor axis bending. A total of six series of tests was conducted that included 27 ...

Abstract: A test program was performed on aluminum alloy columns of square and rectangular hollow sections that were compressed between fixed ends. In total, five series of tests were conducted that included columns with both ends ...

Abstract: This paper presents the experimental and numerical investigation of aluminum alloy flexural members. The tests were performed on ten different sizes of square hollow sections subjected to pure bending. Material properties ...

Abstract: A test program was performed on cold-formed-steel oval hollow sections under axial compression. The test specimens were cold-rolled into oval hollow sections with flat web plates and semicircular flanges. The test program ...

Abstract: Aluminum alloy members of channel sections are widely used in lightweight structures, especially as pillars of curtain wall systems and brace and chord members in roof trusses. This paper presents both experimental and ...

Abstract: This paper presents a generalized evaluation method for determining the bond slip relationship of an external reinforcement bonded to concrete based on the experimental global force versus the displacement curve. The ...

Abstract: In coastal regions, chloride penetration causes steel reinforcing bar (rebar) corrosion in reinforced concrete structures, leading to durability problems in existing structures. A new intervention method, impressed current ...

Abstract: This study introduces the use of the combined impressed current cathodic protection–structural strengthening (ICCP-SS) as a technique for repairing reinforced concrete structures that have been subjected to chloride-induced ...
