An experimental investigation of circular concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns subjected to very low-elevation lateral impacts was performed. Six circular CFST members were prepared for ...

A new method allows for determination of axial force on subsea pipelines within the context of DNV-RP-F105-2006, expanding the scope of current recommended practices and benefiting both project ...

Carbon nanocoils (CNCs) composed of helical shaped carbon nanofibers have potential applications including mechanical springs and nano-solenoids. There are some reports which measure the spring ...

Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcements are superior to traditional steel bars in concrete structures, particularly in vertical elements like columns, and offer significant advantages ...

Bearing deflection or yield is elastic deformation occurring between balls and raceways because of external loads. Deflection increases nonlinearly as external load increases. To increase bearing ...
