abstract lateral intake is a hydraulic structure which is used for diversion of some portion of water from a river for the purpose of irrigation, storage and industrial. most of lateral intakes from canal are installed at canal with inclined banks which has not received the attention of the researchers in the past. since the flow discharge and sediment which enters the intake canal depends on t...

current innovative lateral load carrying systems for tall buildings are those in which the lateral drift is limited to an allowable value without considerable influence on economy. this aim is achieved by using special systems capable of using maximum stiffness and strength capacity of individual structural elements. an effective structural solution in this respect is the use of outrigger brace...

The lateral-torsional buckling (LTB) strength of cellular steel girders that were subjected to web distortion was rarely examined. Since no formulation has been presented for predicting the capacity of such beams, in the current paper an extensive numerical investigation containing 660 specimens was modeled using finite element analysis (FEA) to consider the ultimate lateral-distortional buckli...

Band clamps with a flat bottomed V-section are used to connect a pair of circular flanges to provide a joint with significant axial strength. Despite the wide application of Vband clamps, their behaviour is not fully understood and the ultimate axial strength is currently only available from physical testing. This physical testing has indicated that the ultimate strength is determined by two di...

To enhance the local buckling resistance of thin-walled steel pipes and their fire corrosion resistance, a new spirally stiffened square concrete-filled tubular laminated composite member with transverse ribs is proposed. Through four forms combined members for eccentric pressure testing, it was found that: ordinary pipe concrete drum more severe; spiral ribs, limited between stiffening ribs; d...

This article presents an experimental investigation on the bending capacity of steel-concrete composite truss girder (SCCTG). Four full-scale specimens named CB1, CB2a, CB2b and CB3 respectively, are tested and numerical analyzed. Stress distribution, load-displacement relationship, load-slip relationship and ultimate bending capacity of SCCTGs are investigated. The results show that SCCTG foll...
