Abstract: The strength of a short composite steel‐concrete beam column is affected by variations in the strengths of concrete and steel, the cross‐sectional dimensions of concrete and steel section, the placement of steel section ...

Abstract: The strength of a slender composite steel‐concrete beam column differs from the computed nominal value, which is based on specified nominal strengths of constituent materials, geometric properties, and code design equations. ...

Abstract: Comparisons of strengths determined from 150 physical tests of rectangular composite steel–concrete columns available in the published literature with the strengths calculated from selected computational procedures are ...

Abstract: Load and resistance factors are used to reduce the probability of overloading, understrength, or both to acceptable levels. The ACI Building Code specifies the use of resistance factors for beam‐columns in the following ...

Abstract: A dimensionless finite-difference equation for predicting the pressure distribution between narrowly-spaced disks is presented. The flow region is bounded by two curves corresponding to creeping and potential flows.
