At present, the development of green building materials is imminent. Traditional wood structures show low strength and are easy to crack. Steel also prone instability. A novel rectangular-section composite beam from welded thin-walled H-shape steel/camphor pine was proposed in this work. The force deformation, section strain distribution law, damage mechanism combined were studied optimize desi...

Steel corrosion of bars in concrete structures is a complex process which leads to the reduction of the cross-section bars and decreasing the resistance of the concrete and steel materials. In this study, reliability analysis of a reinforced concrete beam with corrosion defects under the distributed load was investigated using the enhanced Hasofer-Lind and Rackwitz-Fiessler (EHL-RF) method base...

This paper will focus on aspects of the advanced analysis and underlying behavior of composite structures with concrete-filled steel tube (CFT) columns. Through a detailed examination of the results of a suite of full-scale slender CFT beam-column tests, insight into the cyclic behavior of such members is gained, specifically pertaining to local buckling of the steel tube and the plastic hinge ...

Several recent series of investigations were conducted on corrugated board performance in the areas of: loaded container endurance in cyclic humidity, predictive models for edge compression strength (ECT), effects of lightweight facings, measurement of transverse shear rigidity, effects of adhesive level, and out-of-plane crushing on ECT. The course of this program prompted exploration and revi...

Current standards and specifications do not provide specific design methods to determine the lateral-torsional buckling (LTB) strength of girders with trapezoidally corrugated web. In international literature there are some previous investigations available focusing on LTB web girders. Based numerical calculations analytical solutions have been derived in past, however, is a lack experimental t...

Abstract This paper intends to provide quantitative seismic response characteristics of steel moment resisting frames (MRFs) with inelastic beam‐to‐column panel zone joints. Two modeling approaches are proposed for this purpose along a methodology consider the fracture potential at bottom beam flange in MRFs due kinking. Both approaches, which validated available experiments, preserve behaviora...
