Residual load carrying capacity of reinforced concrete cylinders after heating at elevated temperature

Experimental Characterization of the Effect of Charring on the Residual Load Carrying Capacity of a Structural Fibre Reinforced Composite

An experimental study conducted to investigate the residual load carrying capacity of a commonly used structural composite plastic, isophthalic polyester, reinforced with S-glass fibreglass when exposed to heat-fluxes representative of a fire is presented. The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between fire insult and the remaining flexural strength of a thermally damaged comm...

The Bearing Capacity Calculation Method of Cracked Reinforced Concrete Column at High Temperature

Load Carrying Capacity of Simply Supported Variable Thickness Circular Plates

The calculation of the load carrying capacity of variable thickness circular plates subjected to arbitrary rotational symmetric loading is presented. The analysis considers plate materials that obey either the square or the Tresca yield criterion. By using upper and lower bound theorems of limit analysis, corresponding estimations for the load carrying capacity of the plate are obtained. It is ...

Influence of flanges on the shear-carrying capacity of reinforced concrete beams without web reinforcement

Optimal Trajectory of Flexible Manipulator with Maximum Load Carrying Capacity

In this paper, a new formulation along with numerical solution for the problem of finding a point-to-point trajectory with maximum load carrying capacities for flexible manipulators is proposed. For rigid manipulators, the major limiting factor in determining the Dynamic Load Carrying Capacity (DLCC) is the joint actuator capacity. The flexibility exhibited by light weight robots or by robots o...
