Due to corrosion and the continuous demand to increase traffic loads, there is a need for an effective system which can be used to repair and/or strengthen steel bridges and structures. This paper describes an experimental program, recently completed, to investigate the fundamental behavior of steel-concrete composite scaled bridge beams strengthened with new high modulus carbon fiber reinforce...

Abstract Steel-concrete composite beam is a typical construction which made up of two dissimilar materials such as steel and concrete. It used mainly for commercial/residential high-rise buildings bridges. From last few decades steel-concrete structure has been utilised in industry due to several advantages reduced time cost major the avoidance one issues present era, space scarcity. Shear conn...

Abstract The widely used steel-concrete composite structures can fully utilize the high strength of steel and relatively compressive concrete. In service stage structures, shear connectors not only subjected to forces, but also pull-out loading. process is accompanied by crack initiation propagation order accurately analyze discontinuous capacities connectors, a zero-thickness cohesive zone ele...

A new technique for the strengthening of existing R/C shear walls based on the application of very thin high performance jackets is presented in this paper. The strengthening jacket is made of high performance concrete and high strength steel mesh. The experimental study on a 1:3 scale R/C wall, proportioned to resist the vertical loads only, and reinforced by means of a 15 mm thick high perfor...

Four design alternatives for lateral force-resisting systems of tall buildings in Dubai, UAE are presented. Quantitative comparisons between the different designs are also made. This paper is intended to provide different feasible lateral systems to be used in Dubai in light of the available seismic hazard studies of the UAE. The different lateral systems are chosen in conformance with the Inte...

This paper conducts an experimental study on the axial compressive performance of FRP-steel-concrete composite columns. Nine short columns were produced and evaluated in study, comprising three concrete-filled steel tube reference six columns, respectively denoted as “reference columns” “composite columns”. Two categories failure modes, including shear waist drum, observed from experiments. The...

The present Experimental investigation is to study the Mechanical Properties of the Fly ash concrete reinforced with steel fibers. The concrete composite comprises of steel fibers in different percentages and partial replacement of cement in different proportions. Steel fibers varied from 0%, 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% by weight of cement and replacement of fly ash varied from 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% ...

Being economical and performing well under cyclic loads, steel sections filled with concrete have been widely used in structural buildings. Extensive studies and experiments have been conducted to investigate the influence of different parameters and loadings on the behavior of these structural components. Based on the data available from previous experiments and studies, this paper discusses t...
