Behaviour of FRP strengthened concrete columns under eccentric compression loading

This paper presents results of testing eccentrically loaded columns externally wrapped with two types of materials. Six cylindrical (205 mm diameter and 925 mm height) plain columns were cast and tested. Half of the columns were wrapped with GFRP and the other half with CFRP. All columns were tested by applying an axial load at 50 mm eccentricity. In each group (GFRP or CFRP wrapped) of columns...

Eccentric Behavior of Eccentric Planets

Recent increases in the discovery of high multiplicity Sub-Jovian planetary systems, in addition to discoveries of giant planets of high eccentricities in these multiple body systems, lead to questions into their origins and evolution. The study of secular interactions is not new, however it has only recently been applied to exoplanetary systems. These systems sometimes fall far from the classi...

The behaviour of FRP wrapped HSC columns under different eccentric loads

The majority of columns are subjected to a combination of an axial load and a bending moment in one or two directions. With a few exceptions, most of the research in the area of FRP wrapped columns have concentrated on the behaviour of concentrically loaded columns. This paper presents results of testing nine reinforced high strength concrete columns. The column specimens are circular in shape ...

Fatigue Behaviour Study of Laser Hybrid Welded Eccentric Fillet Joints – Part I

Welded joints are a major component that is often responsible for causing a structure failure or for being the point at which fatigue cracking initiates and propagates. Despite tremendous research efforts, the understanding of fatigue behaviour is still limited, particularly for new techniques like laser hybrid welding. Beside a comprehensive state-of-the-art study, the paper presents a fatigue...
