Abstract: This paper reports the experimental investigations that have been carried out to study the ultimate strength and behavior of trapezoidal steel flooring units. The steel deck models were subjected to pure bending loads and ...

Abstract: Prediction of the prepacked grouting process provides useful information for site engineers to decide a proper spacing of injection point and foresee the injection pressure and flow rate to achieve a better quality control ...

Abstract: The Galerkin method of weighted residuals is used in the 3‐dimensional analysis of asymmetric tall buildings subjected to lateral loads. Using polynomial shape functions, approximate displacement functions are obtained for ...

Abstract: An approximate method for the analysis of stiffened flange plates, containing circular or square openings and loaded axially, is presented. The method allows for the loss in stiffness of plates by making use of the “effective ...

Abstract: The present study is concerned with the strength of thin‐walled steel box columns of square cross section that are pinned and subjected to axial load and equal moment at the ends. The local buckling in the component plates ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development of an analytical model for predicting the torsional strength of reinforced concrete beams containing a rectangular opening. The method is based on the collapse load analysis. Both upper ...

Abstract: Based on the “collapse load” analysis, a method is developed to predict the ultimate strength of a reinforced concrete beam that contains a large rectangular opening and is subjected to a point load. According to the method, ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation to study reinforced concrete beams with large rectangular openings under pure torsion is reported. The beams were rectangular in cross section. Beam dimensions, and the amount and arrangement ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation of the ultimate load behavior of thin‐walled box columns is reported. Small‐scale steel box column models are subjected to concentric or eccentric compressive loading and the failure brought ...

Abstract: An analytical and experimental investigation is carried out into the deformational behavior and strength of reinforced steel‐fiberconcrete (RSFC) beams in flexure. Explicit expressions are derived for the moment‐curvature
