Over the past 15 years, there have been some research outcomes in other disciplines that could be used to produce new, more accurate and realistic numerical models characterise pedestrian loads significantly improve predictions of response for multiple-pedestrian scenarios. However, disconnection between fields has not facilitated this further research. Using this, paper presents (a) a new soph...

Studying the evolution characteristics of damage strength and water absorption behavior hollow glass beads solid buoyancy materials used for manned submersibles in hyper-pressure environment will help people to understand mechanism induced submersibles. To explore influence different pressure, temperature, loading rate load cycle times on deformation, failure, buoyant materials, hydrostatic pre...

Glued-laminated timber (Glulam) is an innovative engineered product and has been widely used for constructing spatial grand structures tall buildings due to its exceptional natural attraction, easy processing, decent fire resistance outstanding structural performance. However, global serviceability performances of constructed from Glulam products beams, columns bracings CLT lift core floors und...

In regions prone to seismic activity, buildings constructed on soft soil pose a significant concern due their inferior performance. This situation often results in considerable structural damage, substantial economic loss, and increased risk human life. To address this problem, study focuses the retrofitting of steel moment-resisting frames using friction metal-yielding dampers, taking into acc...

Abstract Rock-socket pile design predominantly depends on the shaft resistance to support load at serviceability state. However, due limited understanding of pile–rock interactions, capacity is normally calculated using empirical correlations. In this study, load-bearing mechanisms rock-socketed piles were investigated through a miniaturised pile–load test setup in soft synthetic rock. X-ray CT...

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is an innovative engineered product and has been widely used for constructing tall buildings due to its excellent structural performance good strength with multi-layers of boards in both perpendicular directions. However, the global serviceability constructed from CLT products lift core, walls, floors under wind load not well known yet, even though it crucial a desi...

The current structural engineering practical standards are unable to offer an universal design standard for long-spanning lightweight stadium roofing structures. As such, the procedure of a particular roof is not replicable another. This research aims present novel structures considering Lakhwiya Optus Stadium and CommBank as experimental cases. Using finite element analysis (FEA) software Stra...
