As a renewable building material with low embodied energy characteristics, wood has gained more and more attention in the green and sustainable building industry. In terms of material resource and physical properties, scrimber composite not only makes full use of fast-growing wood species, but also has better mechanical performance and less inherent variability than natural wood material. In th...

In recent years, ground columns, such as vibro-concrete columns and geosynthetic-reinforced stone columns, have been increasingly used to support superstructures and embankments when they are constructed on soft foundations. Several new column technologies have emerged, including different shapes of concrete columns and composite columns. The column technologies have also been combined with oth...

Abstract Nowadays, composite beams and columns were used as structural members for their higher strength rigidity load-carrying structures. Generally, the concrete-encased column has a compound section formed by steel surrounding concrete will be made composite. Based on studies of encased sections based experimental computational analysis over static dynamic load cases shows advantages convent...
