The existing connection between the concrete-filled double steel tubular (CFDST) column and reinforced concrete (RC) beam is difficult to repair reuse after damage. In this paper, a self-centering joint CFDST RC proposed. of realized by prestressed strands, energy dissipation friction. overall purpose research analyze influence strand friction on mechanical behavior joint. By comparing envelope...

In this paper, static performance of square concrete-filled double-skin steel tube (CFDST) chord to hollow section (SHS) brace T-joints are investigated through experimental and numerical studies. Twelve specimens, including 8 with CFDST chord, 2 (CFST) SHS as counterparts, were tested under continuously increasing compressive force on the concentric compression load applied simultaneously chor...

The Yale art historian George Hersey showed us the columns in Figure 1 and asked us whether the ideas of symmetry breaking could be used to help classify architectural columns. Provoked by this question and the intriguing columns in that figure, we attempted to answer Hersey in the following way. We view a column as a deformed cylinder and column symmetries as the subgroup of the symmetries of ...

Stereoscopic vision is extremely precise in detecting minute diierences between adjacent depth planes, but quite imprecise in estimating absolute depth. In this paper, we address the issue of the spatial acuity (and not the stereo acuity) of stereopsis. Static RDS (random dot stereograms) stimuli were used to nd the spatial grain in which human stereoscopic vision operates. Using psychophysical...

Automatic hydraulic press is widely used for pressing ceramic wall and floor tiles, the four columns of its frame withstand the all work force when it works, so the columns are the key compartments of the frame, and its work performance has an important impact on the structural performance of the entire automatic hydraulic press. Took the column thread connection of 32.8MN automatic hydraulic p...

fiber reinforced polymers (frp) have widely used for the purposes of enhances strength and ductility of concrete columns. proper design of such hybrid columns, however, requires a better recognition of the behavior of concrete columns confined with frp. in this paper, the influence of frp thickness, concrete compressive strength, and column size on the performance of eccentrically loaded reacti...

presence of arsenic, a heavy metal, in soil and water resources originating from geological formations of qorveh plain, which is considered as the main agricultural zone of kurdistan province in western iran, has put the agricultural products of this region at risk of pollution. since arsenate, as the most abundance form of arsenic in soil environment, competes against phosphate anion; applicat...
