Abstract: This paper describes a series of tests to failure of fix-ended tubular braces subjected to cyclic concentric axial loading. The braces were made from cold-formed steel grade C350L0 (350 MPa nominal yield stress) circular ...

Abstract: This study compared the effect of seven common curing conditions on the compressive strength, pore alkalinity, efflorescence, and shrinkage of five alkali-activated fly ash and slag (AAFS) mortars and one cement mix. The ...

Abstract: This paper determines new section slenderness limits suitable for design and construction of seismic resisting structural systems. It describes an experimental investigation of the cyclic inelastic flexural behavior of ...

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to propose a closed-form solution to the poromechanics problem of stress and pore pressure distribution around noncircular openings at great depth subjected to hydrostatic water pressure and far-field ...

Abstract: In this study, the flexural behavior and rotation capacity of welded I-beams made from 690-MPa high-strength steel were investigated through experimental tests and numerical simulations. In the experimental program, a total ...

Abstract: The performance of an immediate frame span subjected to a falling-debris-impact scenario is of great importance to investigate the spread of initial damage during a progressive collapse event. If the frame span was not ...

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 ...

Abstract: A concrete-filled double skin tube (CFDST) consists of an outer steel tube, an inner steel tube, and the space between them filled with concrete. Existing studies have shown that the buckling of steel tubes can be significant ...

Abstract: The stainless-clad bimetallic steel plate (SCBSP) formed by cladding a layer of stainless steel on the surface of a mild steel plate is a solution to improve the corrosion resistance of steel in corrosive environments To ...
