Abstract: This paper experimentally and analytically investigates the fire and postfire behavior of axially restrained high-strength steel columns. Tests on the buckling behavior during heating as well as the residual load-bearing ...

Abstract: The dynamic effect of structures under column removal scenarios is investigated by conducting comparative experiments on two identical steel frames with concrete slabs. One frame suffers from a static edge-column loss, ...

Abstract: The thread-anchored blind bolt (TBB) is anchored by a threaded bolt hole instead of a nut. It can only be mounted from one side, providing an alternative method to build the square hollow section column connection (SHSCC). ...

Abstract: Ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) holds tremendous potential in addressing the issues of short service life and lack of reasonable impact resistance characterization in the anchorage zone of bridge expansion joints, ...

Abstract: This paper describes a reduced-order modeling approach for the thermal and structural analysis of fire effects on composite slabs with profiled steel decking. The reduced-order modeling approach, which uses alternating ...

Abstract: This paper presents a reduced-order numerical modeling approach for the analysis of heat transfer in composite floor slabs with profiled steel decking exposed to fire effects. This approach represents the thick and thin ...

Abstract: Computational modeling of structures subjected to extreme static and dynamic loads (such as snow, wind, impact, and earthquake) using finite-element software are part of mainstream structural engineering curricula in ...
