Abstract: An analytical approach for the detection of a beam with multiple cracks is presented in this article. The method is based on the bending vibration theory of Euler-Bernoulli beam and the cracks are treated as massless ...

Abstract: Abstract This study aims to reveal the failure mechanism and performance law of the vertical mechanical performance of earthquake-induced cumulative damaged RC columns and quantify the vertical load-carrying capacity (VLCC) ...

Abstract: AbstractRocking structures show great promise in enhancing seismic resilience by reducing structural damage and minimizing residual displacements under seismic loads. Due to the complexity of rocking dynamics, analytical ...

Abstract: AbstractWeb-embedded shear connectors (WESCs) in steel-concrete composite beams (SCCBs) are gaining attention due to their potential to reduce structural weight, eliminate welding requirements, and decrease residual welding ...

Abstract: Abstract The adoption of diamond-shaped pylons has gained widespread popularity in engineering applications, such as the Husutong Yangtze River Bridge and Tatara Bridge, owing to their cost-effectiveness, appealing aesthetics, ...

Abstract: Abstract Socket connection is a commonly used connection method in accelerated bridge construction (ABC). The socket depth directly affects the connection reliability, force transmission mechanism, and foundation expenditure, ...
