Abstract: Different countries adopt different values of thermal expansion coefficients for steel cables in their design specifications, which results in the inconsistency for the design of prestressed structures. Therefore, a ...

Abstract: Steel cable is the key component of prestressed steel structures. However, the thermal expansion coefficients of steel cables have not been adequately evaluated yet. This paper presents an experimental study on this topic. ...

Abstract: In this study, five double-plate connected concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) composite columns were tested under a uniaxial eccentric compressive load. The test phenomena, load–axial displacement curves, strain analyses, ...

Abstract: This paper puts forward a new kind of joint called plate-insert welded tubular joint that is used in long-span prestressed spatial structures. It is composed of one inserted plate, one major member, and several minor ...

Abstract: Spiral strands, galvanized steel wires, galvanized semiparallel wire strands, and steel tie rods in large-span building structures are inevitably corroded due to long-term exposure to corrosive atmospheres. However, research ...

Abstract: New types of hybrid cable domes combining Geiger and Levy forms are presented in this paper. Their basic configuration and geometry are proposed and discussed. The partition-assembly method for a prestress design of the ...

Abstract: Stainless steel has broad application prospects in building structures because of its favorable corrosion resistance and durability, attractive appearance, and easy conformity with architectural aesthetics. In order to ...

Abstract: The study of corroded metal materials in building structures is the basis for analyzing and evaluating the residual bearing capacities of existing structures. In this study, the corrosion behaviors and residual properties ...

Abstract: Collision accidents of construction vehicles frequently occur during the construction of building projects. It is difficult to warn of collision risk efficiently by using the safety control methods of on-site inspection ...

Abstract: Accurate identification of structural displacements is important for structural state assessment and performance evaluation. This paper proposes a real-time structural displacement detection model based on computer vision ...
