This article reports the finite element (FE) investigation of axial capacities pultruded fiber-reinforced polymer (PFRP) composite channel columns. The nonlinear model (FEM) was developed by using ABAQUS package for glass (GFRP) columns, which included geometric and initial imperfections. FEMs were verified against an experimental result available in literature GFRP validated used to carry out ...

Glass-reinforced composite columns (GRCCs) may provide an economical alternative to conventional construction materials due the superior cost strength provided by bulk glass. Prior this study, no GRCCs had been physically tested, having previously relied on simulation predict behavior of columns. This study utilizes polyurethane resin bonds in place sizing agents for adherence between materials...

To improve the seismic behavior of shear walls, a new composite wall composed steel-fiber-reinforced high-strength concrete (SFRHC) web and two square concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns, namely with CFST is proposed in this paper. Therefore, main purpose paper to present an experimental investigation SFRHC columns. Pseudo-static tests were carried out on seven performance walls was studi...

Engineered cementitious composite (ECC) is a high-performance material with greater shear deformation and strength than normal concrete, which has been proposed for use as component in structures. This study modeled three frames, pure reinforced concrete (RC) frame, an RC frame short columns ECC columns, using the incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) method to evaluate contribution of structural ...
