This paper presents a new model for predicting the compressive strength of steel-confined concrete on circular concrete filled steel tube (CCFST) stub columns under axial loading condition based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) by using a large wide of experimental investigations. The input parameters were selected based on past studies such as outer diameter of column, compressive strength...

concrete filled steel tube columns (cfst) are a kind of composite columns according to advantages of cfst relative to reinforced concrete and steel columns. use of these materials is common in recent years especially in high building, unnecessary of molding, high ductility, proportionate resistance with low volume, economical, low deformation relative to steel columns are among advantages. in t...

We experimentally studied the propagation of coupled fluid stress waves and tube flexural waves generated through projectile impact along the axis of a water-filled tube. We tested mild steel tubes, 38–40 mm inner diameter and wall thicknesses of 0.8 mm, 6.4 mm, and 12.7 mm. A steel impactor was accelerated using an air cannon and struck a polycarbonate buffer placed on top of the water surface...

Paper presents the research of austenitic steel AISI 304after ion nitriding at 400◦C and at t =4h, for the two different variants of samples distribution in the working plasma reactive chamber tube. In order to assess the effectiveness of ion nitriding variants emission spectroscopy – GDOES, surface hardness tests, microstructure research (LM) of nitrided layers were made. It has been found tha...

Present-day glaucoma implants, i.e., long-tube implants, were introduced by Molteno et al. in 1976 [31]. !e most commonly used implants include Molteno and Ahmed singleand doubleplate implants, and the Baerveldt and Krupin implants. All implants are long-tube implants based on the original Molteno design. !e Ahmed and Krupin implants are valved implants. !e most recent addition to tube-shunt de...

This paper explores a new method for rapid structural damage inspection of steel tube slab (STS) structures along randomly measured paths based on a combination of compressive sampling (CS) and ultrasonic computerized tomography (UCT). In the measurement stage, using fewer randomly selected paths rather than the whole measurement net is proposed to detect the underlying damage of a concrete-fil...
