Abstract In order to study the seismic performance of steel tube bundle composite shear wall with different constructions. Based on failure tests three specimens without end, studs and stiffener, a feasible numerical model is established by ABAQUS. The hysteresis curve energy dissipation coefficient, skeleton ductility were further analyses varying axial compression ratio spacing internal diaph...

in this study, the effect of cold rolling process on the microstructure and texture evolution in 1wt. % si non-orientedelectrical steel was investigated. for this purpose, all samples were processed through single-stage hot rolling at1100 ° c and two-stage cold rolling (cross rolling and unidirectional rolling) with intermediate annealing at 650 °cfor 35 seconds. finally, all of them were fully...

The use of composite structures is increasingly present in civil construction works. Steel-concrete composite beams, particularly, are structures consisting of two materials, a steel section located mainly in the tension region and a concrete section, located in the compression cross sectional area , both connected by metal devices known as shear connectors. The main functions of these connecto...

The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of radial motion of an arterial wall on the shear stress that flowing blood imposes on the wall (wall shear stress). Wall shear stress is known to influence endothelial cell function and may play a role in atherogenesis, but its magnitude and distribution in the circulation are not well understood. To simulate arterial wall motion, we use...

This paper details tests on steel-wood-steel connections with thin dowels carried out at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. Connections configurations were selected in such a way that the influence of the main parameters such as dowel slenderness ratio, dowel strength, fastener spacing and end distance and the number of dowels could be studied. An important issue of the pa...

Numerous studies were contemplated on the structures with distinctive structural configuration and ample amount of work is currently being performed through investigation response individual behavior shear walls bracings by varying configurations their material properties. Seismic design philosophies had mentioned firmly that a structure must accomplish Life Safety Performance Level for both re...
