Abstract: In this paper, the low-cycle bending-fatigue strength of square and rectangular steel bars under random loading histories is quantified through an experimental program. Based on the experimental data, and considering the ...

Abstract: In this study, a series of tests were conducted to investigate the behaviors of low-cycle bending-fatigue on A36 square and rectangular steel bars. It is observed that using the test results of constant cyclic loading to ...

Abstract: A new roller seismic isolation bearing is developed for use in highway bridges. This new bearing uses rolling of cylindrical rollers on V-shaped sloping surfaces to achieve seismic isolation. The bearing is characterized ...
