Method for computing the shear capacity of prestressed reinforced concrete beams based on truss-arch model

Jiawei Wang, Jinliang Liu, Guanhua Zhang, Yanmin Jia

The calculation of the shear capacity of inclined section for prestressed reinforced concrete beams is an important topic in the design of concrete members. The purpose of this…

Experimental study on prestressed concrete hollow slabs in service strengthened with prestressed CFRP plates

Jiawei Wang, Yanmin Jia, Guanhua Zhang, Jigang Han, Jinliang Liu

Most existing studies are confined to model beam tests, which cannot reflect the actual strengthening effects provided by prestressed carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates…

Risk reliability-based underwater inspection method for jacket platforms in Indonesia

Jessica Rikanti Tawekal, Ricky Lukman Tawekal

The purpose of this paper is to carry out the application of risk reliability-based underwater inspection (RReBUI).

Influence of sulfuric and hydrochloric acid on the resistance of geopolymer cement with nano-silica additive for oil well cement application

Syahrir Ridha, Afif Izwan Abd Hamid, Riau Andriana Setiawan, Ahmad Radzi Shahari

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the resistivity of geopolymer cement with nano-silica additive toward acid exposure for oil well cement application.

Analytical and numerical study of the serviceability performance of partial composite steel-FRP beams

Amr M.I. Sweedan, Hothifa N. Rojob, Khaled M. El-Sawy

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a closed-form analytical solution to evaluate the nominal moment capacity and associated deflections of steel-FRP beam systems. The…

Non-linear delamination in two-dimensional functionally graded multilayered beam

Victor Rizov

A delamination fracture analysis of two-dimensional functionally graded multilayered end-loaded split beam configuration with non-linear mechanical behaviour of material is…

Quantification of weld size parameters for throat failure prevention in a brake flange axle weld subjected to torsional loading with structural stress approach

Anoop Vasu, Jerry Chung, Cory Padfield, Ravi Desai

The brake reaction test performed on a rear axle assembly revealed that the brake flange weld could not sustain the load needed to pass the minimum requirement of the test…

Study on behaviour of geometrically scaled glass reinforced epoxy tubes subjected to non-coincident quasi static-indentation

Fahad Almaskari, Farrukh Hafeez

The purpose of this paper is to study the behaviour of glass reinforced epoxy tubes subjected to repeated indentation loads at two non-coincident indentations 180° apart.

Theoretical and experimental study on driving force and flow characteristics of damping control valve of shock absorber

Fangwei Xie, Dengshuai Wang, Cuntang Wang

The purpose of this paper is to study the flow characteristics of damping control valve of shock absorber, and obtain the minimum driving current required under different working…

Investigating the in-plane flexibility of steel-deck composite floors in steel structures

Ehsan Bazarchi, Yousef Hosseinzadeh, Parinaz Panjebashi Aghdam

It is common practice in structural engineering to assume floor diaphragms infinitely stiff in their own plane. But, most of the code provisions lack clarity and unity in…
