Abstract The paper shows the results of an experimental campaign aimed at investigating cyclic behavior a column-to-foundation joint for precast concrete elements. tested connection is realized adopting corrugated steel ducts embedded into foundation, in which column protruding rebars are anchored by grouting high performance mortar. program consists testing six full-scale reinforced square-sec...

Steel plates in double skin composite (DSC) panels are restrained by a concrete core and welded stud shear connectors at discrete positions. Local buckling of steel plates in DSC panels may occur in a unilateral mode between stud shear connectors when subjected to combined states of stresses. This paper studies the local and post-local buckling strength of steel plates in DSC panels under biaxi...

This study based on free vibration analysis and study the behavior of framed structure under different frequency of vibration using ANSYS software and shaking table. A small scale uni-axial shaking table was prepared in laboratory, which can produce lower to moderate vibration, regarding frequency and velocity. Moment resisting framed structures constructed with connecting beam and column eleme...

concrete filled steel tube columns (cfst) are a kind of composite columns according to advantages of cfst relative to reinforced concrete and steel columns. use of these materials is common in recent years especially in high building, unnecessary of molding, high ductility, proportionate resistance with low volume, economical, low deformation relative to steel columns are among advantages. in t...

Steel-concrete-steel (SCS) sandwich panels are composed of two steel plates with low thicknesses and high densities and strengths and one thick layer between both plates with low strength and density known as core that is composed of concrete. Cohesive material-epoxy resin or shear connectors are usually used to connect the plates to the concrete core. SCS sandwich composites are being develope...

Reduction in self-weight and achievement of full fire resistance requirements are some the important considerations design high-rise structures. Lightweight concrete filled steel tube (CFST) column provides an alternative method to serve these purposes. Recent studies on lightweight CFST columns at ambient temperature have revealed that foamed can be a beneficial innovative material. Hence, thi...

Concrete-filled composite elements have recently gained popularity as beams and columns all over the world. They advantages similar to reinforced concrete elements, such moulding process lack of maintenance filled concrete, well hollow steel enhancing compressive strength bending capacity by using smaller sections. In this paper, buckling behaviour thin-walled with circular cross-section differ...

Application of impact energy absorption systems in different industries is of special significance. Thin-walled tubes, due to their lightness, high energy absorption capacity, long crushing length and the high ratio of energy absorption to weight, have found ever-increasing application as one of the most effective energy absorption systems. In this research, through  carrying out experimental t...
