Strengthening of composite beams is highly needed to upgrade the capacities existing beams. The strengthening methods can be classified as active or passive techniques. Therefore, main purpose this study provide detailed FE simulations for strengthened and unstrengthened steel–concrete at sagging hogging moment regions with without profiled steel sheeting. developed models were verified against...

For some electrostatic precipitators, profiled steel sheets are used as casing wall which is subjected to both bending and vertical compression. By nonlinear finite element method, the influences of structural parameters on load bearing capacity of profiled steel sheet wall were investigated. For the loading path, the uniform transversal pressure was applied firstly, and then the vertical compr...

This paper describes the testing of Profiled Steel Sheet Dry Board (PSSDB) load bearing wall system. Experimental tests were conducted on various PSSDB wall samples, with and without infill materials to study its effect on the PSSDB load bearing wall performance. A proprietary profiled steel sheet, Ajiya Cliplock (0.48 mm thick) attached to Cemboard (10 mm thick) on one side, and Cemplank (10 m...
