Span lengths of newly constructed cable-stayed railway bridges continue to show increases relative to those of older bridges. Accompanying such increases is the importance of ensuring that vibrations of long-span cable-stayed bridges satisfy both safety and serviceability requirements, particularly for bridges that support train passages. In contra...

A detailed live load survey was carried out on floors of the library and newspaper archive at a public library in Mexico City. The study included furniture, racks and shelves, as well as books, journals, papers and other items used in libraries. Considering temporal concentration, an additional survey of people was estimated separately. Those loads...

This paper presents behaviour of normal concrete, ultrahigh-strength concrete, engineered cementitious composite, lightweight concrete, self-consolidating concrete and crumb rubber concrete under confinement. Forty-six circular, square and rectangular concrete-filled steel tube columns with varying slenderness are tested under axial compression. Fa...

A quadrilateral and a triangular element based on the strain approach are developed for static, free vibration and buckling analyses of Reissner–Mindlin plates. The four-node triangular element SBTP4 has the three essential external degrees of freedom at each of the three corner nodes and at a mid-side node; whereas the quadrilateral element SBQP h...

Roof shape and slope are both important parameters for the safety of a structure, especially when facing wind loads. The present study demonstrates the pressure variations due to wind load on the pyramidal roof of a square plan low-rise building with 15% wall openings through CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation. Many studies on roofed str...

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) wrapping of reinforced concrete (RC) columns is an effective way to improve their shear capacity and ductility and prevent buckling in their longitudinal reinforcements. Another strengthening method called the near surface mounted (NSM) reinforcement has been proven effective in improving the flexural strength of RC c...

Nowadays, the use of steel plate shear walls, as an effective seismic resisting system, has been of great interest in enhancing the lateral strength and stiffness of buildings both in renovation and seismic rehabilitation of existing concrete and steel structures. In the present research, the shear strength and stiffness of steel plate shear walls ...

The shear capacity of masonry-infilled reinforced concrete (RC) frames is determined experimentally by testing of five 2/3 scale, one story, one bay infilled RC frame specimens with varying degrees of separation between upper and lower portions of the masonry infill panel. The main premise of this experimental study was to find the contribution of ...

This article presents an investigation of dynamical behaviors of perfect and defected fixed–fixed single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNTs) model as a beam structures. The fundamental frequencies and modal participation factors for fixed–fixed-supported SWCTS are considered through this analysis for the first time. Energy-equivalent model is implement...

Warping and distortion are relevant kinematic features of thin-walled beam structures, which have a non-trivial analysis. On this basis, this paper not only evaluates the possible kinematic transmissions involving high-order warping and distortion, but also presents a procedure to analyze structures using mixed models based on shell and Generalized...
