Axial Compression Behaviors of Columns Fabricated from Bamboo Oriented Strand Boards

Axial compression behaviour of retrofitted long timber columns

Spliced joints are used widely in retrofitting traditional timber structures, especially in heritage conservation applications where as much original material as possible needs to be retained. However, in practice this method is mainly applied based on experience, and there is a lack of understanding and quantification of the mechanical behaviour of retrofitted timber members. This paper presen...

Study on Axial Compressive Behaviors and Bearing Capacity Formulas of the Composite CFST Columns

Decay Resistance of Bamboo Oriented Strand Board Pretreated with Copper-based Preservatives

To enhance the decay resistance of bamboo oriented strand board (OSB) products, the strands were dipped in solutions of alkaline copper quat (ACQ) and copper azole (CA) and bonded with phenol formaldehyde resin into two types of OSB panels, i.e., panels with 100% treated strands and those with treated strands only in the face layers. The results indicated that the decay resistance of treated pa...

Neural Networks Method Applied to the Property Study of Steel-concrete Composite Columns under Axial Compression

In this paper, a new type of steel-concrete composite member, concrete-filled core steel tube with outer angle steel plank reinforced concrete stub column, is proposed and a series of nonlinear 3D(three-dimensional) full-range numerical calculations under axial compression are carried out, some important factors are analyzed, such as the strength of the concrete, the steel tube and the angle st...

Behavior of Hollow-Core FRP-Concrete-Steel Columns Subjected To Cyclic Axial Compression

This report presents the results of an experimental study that was conducted to investigate the effects of key parameters on the compressive behavior of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP)concrete-steel double-skin tubular columns (FSDT). Hybrid FSDT columns have been introduced as a new form of hybrid columns. They consist of an outer tube made of FRP and inner tube made of steel, with sandwiched c...
