Abstract: A practical method for the analysis and design of reinforced‐concrete columns under uniaxial/biaxial loads is presented. In this iterative method, the section strength is evaluated based on a known neutral axis and/or ...

Abstract: A numerical method is introduced for direct analysis of nonlinear behavior of slender beam‐columns. A strain control technique in conjunction with the quasi‐Newton's method was developed to obtain the updated flexural ...

Abstract: This paper presents experimental results of 44 composite beam structures tested under static and fatigue loads. While designing the specimens, variables considered included: (1) the number of shear studs; (2) reinforcing ...

Abstract: This paper presents test results obtained from studies aimed at determining whether the impact-echo method, a nondestructive test technique based on the use of transient stress waves, can be used to trace the initiation ...
