Abstract: This paper presents a study on the stability capacity and lateral bracing requirements of wood beam-columns subjected to biaxial eccentric compression loads. Material property tests and wood beam-column tests were conducted ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a study on the mechanical behavior of concrete columns strengthened with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) and subjected to concentric and eccentric compression loading. A numerical analysis ...

Abstract: Dou-gong connections and mortise-tenon jointed traditional timber frames are widely used in traditional Chinese timber structures to resist lateral loads. Such elements exhibit strong nonlinearity in unloading routes, ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the critical buckling load and lateral bracing force of metal plate connected wood truss assemblies. Material property tests—including the modulus of elasticity ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a study on the compressive behavior of timber columns with longitudinal cracks. Material property tests and full-scale compression tests were conducted to investigate the failure modes ...
