Abstract: A method has been developed for the design of reinforced concrete (RC) members when subjected to blast loadings based on the nondimensional energy spectrum. Numerical analyzes showed good agreement between the approximate ...

Abstract: Experimental fatigue tests were carried out on three tubular T joints having the same geometrical parameters subjected to in-plane bending (IPB) only, combination of IPB and out-of-plane bending (OPB), and a combination ...

Abstract: In practice, tubular joints are always subjected to a combination of axial loading (AX), in-plane bending (IPB), and out-of-plane bending (OPB), and the initiation of surface cracks does not always start at the saddle or ...
