The real behavior of the frames must be reflected in the numerical model used for structural analysis in the design of reinforced concrete (RC) high-rise buildings. The stiffness of the connection ...

To investigate the axial compression performances of precast concrete columns with a novel steel connection, axial compression tests were carried out on 14 specimens. The effects of four different ...

"Experience has shown that the practice of welding the beam's flanges directly to the column is uncertain and/or unsuitable for resistance to earthquakes, explosions, tornadoes and other disastrous ...

The construction of concrete-filled steel tube tied-arch bridges typically employs the “beam first and arch later” methodology. In this approach, tie beams are initially constructed on temporary ...
