The objective of this study was to develop prediction mathematical equations to compute reinforcement steel quantity in traditional residential buildings based on 158 sets of data collected in the West Bank in Palestine. The records related to the quantities were collected from consultancy firms that provide reinforced concrete design services. The data were collected for residential buildings ...

This paper will focus on aspects of the advanced analysis and underlying behavior of composite structures with concrete-filled steel tube (CFT) columns. Through a detailed examination of the results of a suite of full-scale slender CFT beam-column tests, insight into the cyclic behavior of such members is gained, specifically pertaining to local buckling of the steel tube and the plastic hinge ...

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...

Damage evolution of rectangular concrete-filled steel tube (RCFT) column and beam-column members as documented in experimental tests is presented in this paper. An experimental database was first constructed that included RCFT tests available in the worldwide literature. Based on the experimental data, appropriate damage states for RCFT members, connections, and frames were defined at different...
