Abstract: A new instability criterion based on the critical slope concept and the double strength reduction is proposed to evaluate the stability of slopes. In this method, the critical slope contour is determined by the slip-line ...

Abstract: This paper discussed the stiffness and cracking behavior of a new kind of reinforcement-stiffened cold-formed U-shaped steel and concrete composite beam (RCUCB) under negative bending. The static behavior of the RCUCB was ...
