Abstract: The use of hollow structural steel (HSS) columns filled with concrete has become widespread in the past few decades. The residual strength of a composite column may be used to assess the potential damage caused by fire and ...

Abstract: A nonlinear finite-element analysis (FEA) model was developed in this paper based on the elastoplastic finite-element theory to analyze the load versus deformation relation of steel beam to concrete-filled steel tubular ...

Abstract: Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcement has been considered as a replacement for the traditional steel reinforcement, mainly due to its corrosion resistance. In this paper, a total of 13 concrete columns and ...
