..., and flexural strength under static and cyclic loading. The GF and PPF reduced the compressive strength compared with the control concrete (without fibre), whereas SF improved it by ∼7%. All FRCs exhibited enhanced tensile strength. In the concretes reinforced with GF ( GFRC ), tensile strength...

... Pagoda at Xingjiao Temple were designed and fabricated. Cyclic loading tests were conducted to observe the failure process and characteristic data of the specimen. A numerical model was established using a discrete modelling approach for simulation, and the variation range of mortar strength...

... of compressive strength, fibre volume fraction and reinforcement ratio under monotonic and cyclic loading. The results indicate that increasing the fibre content to 4% enhances load capacity by approximately 20% and energy absorption by about 24%. Beams reinforced with HSS exhibited improved ductility, reduced...

... to analyse the effects of the steel core thickness and the friction coefficient between the core and the steel casing. Using non-linear static analysis under cyclic loading based on AISC 341-10, Abaqus was used for modelling. The results showed that increasing the friction coefficient and the core thickness...

... vulnerable part. To study the performance of the wet joint in the closure section under cyclic loading, six specimens are tested, considering loading mode, interface treatment method, setting of regular reinforcement and prestressing. Results show that the damage of the wet joint accumulates and plasticity...

...Biswajit Roy, PhD; Arshad Hussain Choudhury, MTech; Aminul Islam Laskar, PhD The post-fire performance of slag-based geopolymer materials in structures under cyclic loading has yet to be reported and the condition of the rebars inside such structures remains unexplored. In the present work, cyclic...
