Abstract: Concrete-encased concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) is an innovative composite member that consists of the inner CFST components and an outer reinforcement concrete encasement. One increasing application scenario of ...

Abstract: An innovative two-phase model updating technique is developed to accurately assess the mechanical state of an in-service cable-stayed bridge. In the first stage, a sensitivity analysis is performed to select the updating ...

Abstract: This paper reports the results of 120 low-cycle fatigue tests on steel reinforcing bars with varying slenderness ratios at varying strain amplitudes. The failure modes of the fractured bars were investigated through analysis ...
