Ultimate Behavior of Composite Castellated Beams under Vertical Loads

The aim of this paper is to carry out extensive numerical investigations about the effect of various parameters on both buckling loads and ultimate behavior of continuous partially composite castellated beams under vertical loads. Efficient nonlinear 3D Finite Element Model using ABAQUS software is developed. The initial geometric imperfection and material nonlinearities were carefully consider...

OPTIMAL DESIGN OF COLUMNS FOR AN INTERMEDIATE MOMENT FRAME UNDER UNIAXIAL MOMENT AND AXIAL LOADS

The present study addresses optimal design of reinforced concrete (RC) columns based on equivalent equations considering deformability regulations of ACI318-14 under axial force and uniaxial bending moment. This study contrary to common approaches working with trial and error approach in design, at first presents an exact solution for intensity of longitudinal reinforcement in column section by...

Behavior of foam glass aggregate under static loads

Foam glass aggregate is produced in a controlled production process. Due to its low density and thermal conductivity foam glass aggregate offers a broad variety of applications. Based on extensive laboratory tests foam glass aggregate is investigated in the scope of a joint research project performed at Vienna University of Technology and University of Innsbruck. The mechanical properties of si...
