This study presents the experimental and numerical investigations on structural steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) columns under combined axial lateral cyclic loadings. The main parameters evaluated are peak strength, mode of failure, hysteretic response, stiffness degradation, energy dissipation potential SRC columns. A parametric has been conducted using a finite element software ABAQUS to predi...

To compare the deterioration mechanism of reinforced concrete beams between combined effect cyclic loading and carbonation sum both individual factors, an optimized test procedure was introduced in this study. The macroscopic microscopic results showed that decrease resistance could be attributed to changes pore structures crack patterns by loading. However, process flexural tensile correspondi...

Wind turbines are typically designed based on fatigue and serviceability limit states, but still require an accurate assessment of bearing capacity. Overconsolidated clay deposits in Canada often have a thin layer crust with relatively high undrained shear strength developed from weathering, desiccation, geochemical processes. However, existing design methods only assess the capacity using effe...
