An Approach to Masonry Structural Analysis by the No-Tension Assumption—Part I: Material Modeling, Theoretical Setup, and Closed Form Solutions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The prevalent feature that characterizes masonry structures and makes them dissimilar from modern reinforced concrete and steel structures is quite definitely their inability to resist tensile ...
An Approach to Masonry Structural Analysis by the No-Tension Assumption—Part II: Load Singularities, Numerical Implementation and Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The present note follows the previous one, part I, where theoretical tools for analyzing structures made by no-tension (NT) material are presented in extensive form. Some significant results are ...
Slenderness Ratio Effect on Eccentric Compression Properties of Parallel Bamboo Strand Lumber Columns
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The slenderness ratio is one of the main influencing factors for columns. It is interesting to study how this factor influences the mechanical properties of parallel bamboo strand lumber (PBSL) columns. Based on this ...
Size Effect on the Compressive Strength of Laminated Bamboo Lumber
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The size effect on the axial compressive performance of laminated bamboo lumber is studied through compression tests on three groups of short columns with different heights and section sizes. The failure modes, bearing ...
