Abstract: A new instability criterion based on the strength reduction method (SRM) is proposed, where the slope is in the limit equilibrium state when the critical slope contour determined by the slip-line field theory and the slope ...

Abstract: An accurate determination on the acceleration response of a long-span and lightweight steel-concrete composite floor is essential for assessing the floor’s human-induced vibration serviceability, in which the interaction ...

Abstract: In this paper, an analytical algorithm, based on the bilinear resistance model, was proposed to analyze the track-bridge interaction on long-span steel bridges under thermal action. Calculation results show that the proposed ...

Abstract: To study the shear behavior of the steel-block shear connector (SBSC) welded on a steel beam, eight push-out experiments were conducted, including two specimens with cast-in-place (CIP) concrete decks and six specimens ...

Abstract: High performance Chinese domestic structural steel (referred to as GJ steel) has been applied to many major construction projects due to its high performance, high yield strength, and good mechanical properties. In this ...
