Abstract: Bridge deterioration is inevitable in service, and the inspection and maintenance of bridges are needed to ensure structural integrity. To make cost-effective inspection plans, bridge management departments need degradation ...

Abstract: The elliptical FRP–concrete–steel double-skin tubular column (DSTC) is a promising compression member due to its favorable mechanical performance and constructability. To provide insights into the interaction mechanism of ...

Abstract: This paper studied experimentally the behavior of circular fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)–steel-confined concrete columns subjected to reversed cyclic loads. The influence of main structural factors on the cyclic behavior ...

Abstract: The application of concrete is severely limited in construction in cold areas. However, the local ice has functioned as a potential substitute for concrete for a long time. In order to make efficient use of ice to overcome ...
