Concrete-filled steel tubular (CFT) columns have become increasingly popular in structural applications due to their high strength, high ductility, and large energy absorption capacity. These structural properties are the result of integral behavior of the concrete core and the …
With the recent advances in computation technology researchers around the globe are working to simulate the crack propagation. One of the key issues in predicting crack propagation path is the knowledge of the crack initiation angle. The study of crack initiation angles is also …
The present study is concerned with the dynamic behaviour of a shallow steel cylindrical shell subjected to an explosive blast. Although powerful numerical methods, such as the finite element method exist for the investigation of a multitude of problems in structural mechanics, …
Stone columns are known to be a cost effective and environmental friendly ground improvement technique, which is widely used to enhance the performance of shallow foundations built on soft ground. Stone columns increase bearing capacity, reduce settlement, reduce significantly t…
