Abstract: During an earthquake, the casualties and economic loss due to infrastructure failure, such as bridges, are prohibitive. In addition, the deterioration in the steel reinforcements in bridges due to corrosion issues leads ...

Abstract: Hybrid fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)–concrete–steel double-skin tubular columns (DSTCs), which consist of an inner steel and an outer FRP tube, with the space between the two tubes filled with concrete, are a promising ...

Abstract: The zero-stress state of a vein is, like that of an artery, not a closed cylindrical tube, but is a series of segments whose cross-sections are open sectors. An opening angle of each sector ...

Abstract: In this study, a new composite shear wall is proposed, which consists of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-confined concrete cores embedded in the concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns as boundary elements of concrete-filled ...
