Abstract: A full-depth deck panel (FDDP) system incorporating hidden continuous channels has emerged as a promising solution for accelerated composite bridge construction. However, the system has faced implementation challenges ...

Abstract: The components and pore structures of shale are complex due to the heterogeneous distribution of organic and inorganic minerals. Understanding the pore structures properties of shale is essential for elucidating the fluid ...

Abstract: Conventional RC coupling beams have been widely used as key energy-dissipation components in frame-core tube structural systems for high-rise buildings. A model with sufficient efficiency, accuracy, and practicality is ...

Abstract: This paper presents finite-element analysis (FEA) and experimental study on the seismic behavior of joints between steel K-style outrigger truss and concrete core in tall buildings. Two new joint types with different ...

Abstract: A novel biaxial finite-element (FE) model is proposed and validated by a total of 32 reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls with aspect ratio below 1.5. First, a biaxial concrete model package, which was previously developed ...
