Dynamic Response of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete
Extensive research has been done on the static properties of steel fiber reinforced concrete, but very little on the dynamic properties. A total of 20 beams was tested. The steel fiber...
Cyclical Behavior of Welded Steel Shear Studs
Four specimens of composite steel and concrete beams were experimentally tested to obtain the cyclical behavior of the welded steel shear stud. This information may be used for the analysis...
Cyclic Behavior of Joints Between Steel Beams and Reinforced Concrete Columns
The design and behavior of composite beam-column joints for seismic design are reviewed based on the results of tests. Issues addressed include the strength, deformation, and toughness...
Rigid Beam-To-Column Connection Detail for Circular Composite Columns
Steel pipes with relatively thin wall thickness and filled with high strength concrete have been used in building construction. Some of the advantages of this type of column include eliminating...
Design of Frames Using Notional Horizontal Force
The cantilever columns and portal frames are studied by using the notional horizontal force design concept. This concept intends to eliminate K-factor in the frame design. It was found...
A Nonlinear-Analysis-Based Procedure for Evaluating Load-Carrying Capacity of In-Plane Steel Frames
A simple method based on geometrically nonlinear analysis is proposed to evaluate the load-carrying capacity of a steel structure. The effects of material nonlinearity and residual stress...
Bulb-T and Glulam-FRP Beams for Timber Bridges
In this paper, we discusses the manufacturing, analysis, and testing of two glulam beam designers:(1) Southern pine bulb, and (2) yellow-poplar reinforced with pultruded fiber-reinforced...
Acoustic Emission Monitoring of Fatigue Crack Growth in HSLA-80 Steel Box Beams
An acoustic emission is a transient elastic wave generated by the rapid release of energy from a localized source within a material. There can be many sources of acoustic emission in a...
Tests of Full-Size Pretensioned AASHTO Beams with Debonded Strands
A summary of an experimental investigation dealing with the effects of strand debonding on the flexure and shear behavior of simply supported pretensioned AASHTO beams with a cast-in-place...
Recent Advances in 3D Non-Linear FE-Analysis of R/C and P/C Beam Structures
A new simple modelling of interface problems in non-linear FE-analysis of reinforced concrete (R/C) and prestressed concrete (P/ C) structures is presented. It consists in taking account...
Seismic Retrofit of R/C Columns with Inadequate Lap Splices
This paper presents experimental results on the use of rectangular steel jackets to improve the seismic performance of rectangular steel jackets to improve the seismic performance of rectangular...
Column and Beam-Column Design - A World View
This paper is concerned with the design of columns and beam-columns in steel building frames. Design provisions found in some selected codes viz. AS DR87164 87(Australia), BS5950 Part...
Some Aspects of Compression Member Design in Australia
The paper summarizes and elucidates the provisions of the Australian Standard AS4100-1990, Steel Structures, for the design of compression members. Emphasis is placed on those aspects...
Timber Structures
This paper deals with three different curvilinear timber structures of moderate spans - 120 feet to 200 fee +/-. In each of the three cases cited, the roof deck and boundary members are...
Damage Prediction in Reinforced Concrete Structures under Cyclic Loading
Assessment of the stiffness, resistance and damage behaviour of reinforced concrete members under high cyclic loading due to earthquake actions must consider material nonlinear effects...
Study on Mechanical Characteristics of Light-weight Complex Structure Composed of a Membrane and a Beam String Structure
This paper aims at studying a new type of Beam String Structure, in which a membrane is used as finishing material. This paper reports on the mechanical characteristics of this structure,...
Active Control of Axial Forces in Beam String Space Frames
The present work discusses a formulation for active control of axial forces of strings in beam string structures to dynamically and/or statically reduce the responses, and proves both...
Study on Structural Characteristics of Air-Inflated Beam Structures
The purpose of this paper is to clarify the structural characteristics of nonlinear load-carrying behaviors of air-inflated beam structures in their finite deflection range and after wrinkles...
Morphology of Reciprocal Frame Three-Dimensional Grillage Structures
This paper is an introduction to the morphology of structures using the Reciprocal Frame (also known as Mandala Dach in Germany) which is a patented three-dimensional beam grillage structural...
How to Optimize Light-Gage, Cold-Formed Steel Beams
The Illustrative Examples section of the AISI Cold-Formed Steel Design Manual (AISI 1989) demonstrates how to analyze a number of different cold-formed steel sections. This paper applies...
