in fact the most suitable method for finding the load bearing capacity of a member under the axial load or axial load and bending is make use of the interaction diagrams. to analysis and design the hollow circular, square and rectangular high strength concrete (hsc) column shapes, a linear strain variation was assumed in the cross-section height of the members and then the static equilibrium eq...

In this study, the co-operation of steel and concrete in composite columns is considered. Using numerical modeling to study the behavior of these sections, a new type of sections, namely Concrete Filled Double-Skin steel Tubular (CFDST) columns, is introduced. The parameters and techniques that influence the numerical simulation that bring this modeling closer to...

ACT does not suggest any regulations for columns under torsion. However, by all means, the number of such columns used in steel and concrete structures is abundant. In this paper, using the results of laboratory tests on 35 square and rectangular columns with intermediate slender ratios, relations for determination of torsional strengths of reinforced concrete under axial compression have been ...

According to modern seismic codes, in concentrically braced frames the seismic input energy should be dissipated by means of the hysteretic behaviour of braces while all the other members (i.e. beams and columns) have to remain elastic. Accordingly, the design internal forces of braces are determined in these codes by elastic analysis of the structure subjected to seismic forces obtained by the...

the joints between segmental rings can withstand a certain amount of bending moment as well as axial and shear forces. generally, in the structural analysis of tunnel segmental lining, the joints can be modeled as elastic hinges or rotational springs, and their rigidity should be demonstrated in terms of the rigidity of the joints or their rotational stiffness. therefore, the bending moment act...

Strong vertical ground motions can significantly alter axial forces in a bridge column. Axial force variations also affect the concrete contribution to the shear capacity of a reinforced concrete (RC) member. However, the effect of axial force demands on shear capacity is a fairly complex issue since the shear demand in an RC bridge column is affected by variations in the axial force. A combine...

This paper presents the difference in behavior between hollow-core fiber reinforced polymer-concrete-steel (HC-FCS) columns and conventional reinforced concrete (RC) columns under vehicle collision in terms of dynamic and static forces. The HC-FCS column consisted of an outer FRP tube, an inner steel tube, and a concrete shell sandwiched between the two tubes. The steel tube was hollow inside a...

In this paper, a novel approach is proposed to investigate the progressive collapse damage of prismatic thin walled metal columns with different regular cross sections, under the action of axial quasi-static and impact loads. The present work mainly focuses on implementation of some important factors which have been neglected in other studies. These factors include the effect of reducing impact...

This research suggests a novel method to use steel cables as a structural bracing system. The Moment Resisting Frame (MRF) works in tandem with the cable bracings when this method is used. The suggested bracing model can address the fundamental problem of current cable bracing methods, namely the lack of flexibility while keeping costs to a minimum. This approach requires no additional equipmen...
