The Effect of RC Core on Rehabilitation of Tubular Structures

In the present study, the effect of core on shear lag phenomenon in tubular structures is investigated. Three different tubular structure models including model without core, model with central core and model with central core but eliminated in last 15 stories have been analyzed. A shear lag index is defined for evaluating these models. From examination of the results, the effective influence o...

Paws , pads and plants : the enhanced elasticity of cell - filled load - bearing structures

Paws, fat pads and plants share a remarkable structure made up of closed cells with elastic cell walls capable of supporting large loads and deformations. A key challenge is to understand how the function of these structures is enhanced by their geometric and material design. To do so, we compare different elastic models operating in large strain deformation when the cells are empty or filled w...

the effect of initial geometric imperfection on the load bearing capacity of double layer grid space structures

the existence of some geometrically imperfect members, like initial curvature in a double layer space structures with hundreds or thousands of members is almost inevitable. these imperfections give rise to loss of load bearing capacity of double layer space structures. to evaluate the effect of initial member imperfection on load bearing capacity of double layer space structures and their failu...
