Abstract: Investigating the mechanical properties of stainless-steel cables at elevated temperatures is important for the fire-resistant design and fire simulation analysis of prestressed structures. Stainless steel cables comprise ...

Abstract: This paper puts forward a new kind of joint called plate-insert welded tubular joint that is used in long-span prestressed spatial structures. It is composed of one inserted plate, one major member, and several minor ...

Abstract: Polyester-coated fabric has been widely used in membrane structures. However, the mechanical properties of polyester-coated fabric at elevated temperatures have not been well studied, limiting its applications in the ...
