Bond Check for Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Columns
In order that a concrete-filled steel tubular column may display a maximum bearing capacity for sustaining the long-term vertical loads transferred from the steel beams to the steel tube...
Beam-to-Column Connection of a Composite Structure
Composite structures can exhibit excellent performance against seismic force, and fire safety as well. However, the traditional steel reinforced concrete (SRC) system or concrete encased...
Beam to Column Stress Transfer in Composite Structures
To clarify the mechanism of the stress transfer from the steel beam to the composite column through the beam-column joint, eight exterior beam column assemblies were tested under reversed...
Recent Developments for Composite Buildings in Japan
Research work and construction practice of composite steel and reinforced concrete structural systems in Japan are reviewed, based on the data gathered by the working group of the Architectural...
Composite Columns?Design and Examples for Construction
The new German standard DIN 18806, part 1 gives the rules for the design of composite columns. The general method, taking into account all the inhomogeneties of the two materials steel...
Composite and Mixed Construction in Czechoslovakia
Various composite and mixed systems have been used in Czechoslovakia. Special attention is focused on design methods, effective construction, and material savings. Current developments...
Seminar Summary and Research Needs
All the papers presented in the technical sessions of the seminar are summarized and, in some cases, commented upon. The needed research in composite and mixed construction is described....
Binding and Bonding Concrete to Composite Columns
Composite interaction between concrete encasement and structural steel shapes is limited unless lateral ties and/or mechanical attachments insure such interaction until desired strength...
Design and Construction of Guideway: Vancouver Advanced Light Rapid Transit
The Vancouver Advanced Light Rapid Transit (ALRT), system consists of linear induction motor driven, light-weight cars automatically controlled operating over a 21. 4 km system from downtown...
Alignment Special Structures for Vancouver's ALRT
This paper describes the special long-span structures, offset columns, and bent structures used in situations where the standardized guideway components used in over 90 percent of the...
Production of Guideway Beams for the Vancouver ALRT
This paper describes the planning, layout and design of a large scale precast plant and innovations in production technology for the fabrication and delivery of 1040 tangent and curved,...
Guideway Beams?Formwork and Fabrication
A manufacturing concept was developed around an adjustable form capable of mass producing prestressed concrete beams to the unique geometric configuration of each section of track. The...
The Effect of Connection Flexibility on Steel Members and Frame Stability
With the advent of Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and the many existing moment-rotation curves for connections, the use of actual connection flexibility in the design process...
Utilization of Experimentally Obtained Connection Data in Assessing the Performance of Steel Frames
Data from over 70 separate experimental studies on steel beam to column connections are reviewed with particular reference to the joint's in-plane moment-rotation characteristic. More...
Flexibility of Steel Seismic Moment Connections
Relevant Berkeley experimental results are critically evaluated to determine the flexibility of W18 W24 beam joints with and without stiffeners and/or doubler plates. The paper discusses...
Shear Stresses in Composite Masonry Walls
The behavior of composite masonry walls subjected to inplane loads is a subject that has received little attention during the last few years. The small amount of experimental and analytical...
Research Needs for Extant Iron and Steel Buildings
A brief review of iron- and steel-making processes is background for the development of shapes and codes. Sources of information for the condition assessment of iron and steel buildings...
Tension-Compression Test of a Concrete Specimen Via a Structure Damage Theory
The concrete sample is assumed to consist of a large number of aggregates and cement paste. Their material properties are assumed to be perfectly elastic. The effective elastic property...
Continuum Modeling of Periodic Truss Structures
Procedures for deriving equivalent stiffnesses for an extended Timoshenko beam used to represent truss beams are presented. A typical substructure of a truss is used to calculate these...
Composite and Mixed Construction
Steel and reinforced concrete are frequently combined in composite or mixed structural systems. This combination generally results isn greater economy and safety than could be achieved...
