AbstractThe structural performance of concrete structures requires swelling the bending and shear characteristics of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. The bending characteristics of RC beams consisting of waste granite aggregate (WGA),…
AbstractThis paper proposes a novel, cold-formed portal framing system that comprises tapered box members formed from two cold-formed nested channel sections. The proposed method possesses structural and nonstructural advantages, such…
AbstractResearchers and industrialist interest in fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) to be used as an alternative material to steel rebars in reinforced concrete structures (RC) steadily increases. That is due to…
AbstractThis paper proposes a novel method for strengthening existing timber beams that can effectively improve the deformability of beams. As high-performance engineered bamboo, bamboo scrimber was attached to the bottom…
AbstractConventional fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bar ties in square FRP-reinforced concrete (FRP-RC) columns provide low strength and ductility. This is due to the lower ultimate tensile strength at the bent sections…
AbstractMass timber is emerging in new markets for wood buildings, requiring more design knowledge to compete with other structural materials. Large, in-plane tests on cross-laminated timber (CLT) diaphragms (4,570 ×4,570 mm) were…
AbstractThis study first presents an experimental investigation on the compressive behavior of carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP)-confined square seawater–sea sand concrete (SSC) columns with embedded epoxy-coated reinforcement (ECR). Thirty-three columns were…
AbstractDuctility and robustness are two of the most important structural properties for the design of a building against extreme load cases, such as earthquakes and column loss scenarios. Various guidelines…
AbstractDue to the increasing tendency to construct taller and more slender buildings, the need to address aerodynamic and induced dynamic forces (inertial forces) under both service and strength-level wind loads…
AbstractCarbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are effectively and predominantly used for flexure strengthening of RC beams. Recently, new emerging composite materials known as galvanized steel mesh (GSM) sheets, which are…
