This study presents a study on the ductility performance of hybrid fibre reinforced concrete. The influence of fibre content on the ductility performance of hybrid fibre reinforced concrete specimens having different fibre volume fractions was investigated. The parameters of investigation included modulus of rupture, ultimate load, service load, ultimate and service load deflection, crack width...

coustructing masonry building has been done in a large scale in our country. a ccording to the recorded statistics. it comprises the majority of building in our country. the loss of life and property as the result previous earthquakes reveals that masonry building have not functioned properly. meanwhile, their complex behaviors resulted from the heterogenons, nonlinear, and plate behavior of it...

According to the different construction forms of PBL shear connectors in steel-concrete composite beam and steel-concrete joint section, eight finite element models in two groups of the two construction forms are conducted to study different mechanical properties of PBL shear connectors. Following conclusions can be drawn from the finite element method calculation results. The load-slip curve, ...

Original scientific paper Based on the experimental research on three cross-shaped columns with 500 MPa grade reinforcing steel bars, the contrastive analysis is made on failure mode, bearing capacity and displacement ductility of each column specimens with different stirrup spacing under the identical axial compression ratio. The research shows that the longitudinal bars yield before spalling ...

In this paper a simple tool for seismic design of steel structures for a selected ductility level is presented. For this purpose, a consistent set of earthquakes is selected and sorted based on the maximum acceleration of ground surface. The selected records are applied as the base motion to a single-degree-of-freedom system with strain hardening and the maximum response acceleration is determi...
