In this study, the concrete-steel bond strength of concrete filled cylindrical steel tubes has been experimentally investigated. 22 short, high strength and normal concrete filled circular steel tubes were tested. Push-out test was carried out as the common method to evaluate the bond carrying capacity. Four different concrete mixes were used in preparing the specimens. The steel tubes were w...

The sections composed of concrete and steel, which include concrete-encased concrete-filled tubes, generally have defects due to the low tensile strength of concrete. Therefore, an appropriate method was used for the combination of concrete-filled tubes (CFT) and prestressing strands which is encased in concrete. The conventional design guidelines are commonly developed for materials with norma...

The widely adopted the high strength steel tube is an important way to solve lightweight body and collision safety. traditional pressure hydroforming hot gas forming through “expansion” deformation form hollow parts, internal driving force. There are some industrial difficulties such as heavy dependence on pressure, wall thickness thinning low production efficiency, which limits application of ...

Increasing material’s strength is of particular importance. Improving material’s mechanical properties such as strength could reduce the size and weight of the structure. The size and weight of the structure are among the effective parameters in design. Since the past a variety of methods have been developed to increase the strength of metals that are capable of increasing metals’ strength to a...

objectives: micromechanical retention of resin cements to alloys is an important factor affecting the longevity of metal base restorations. this study aimed to compare the bond strength and etching pattern of a newly introduced experimental etchant gel namely nano met etch with those of conventional surface treatment techniques for nickel-chrome (ni-cr) and high noble alloys.  materials and met...
