This current study was conducted to establish a bolted connection experimental database on Malaysia woods. The effort of improving the retrofit guideline in designing wall-diaphragm connections masonry buildings can be continuously done. Brittle failure verifications Meraka hardwood verify occurrence row shear are presented this paper. species selected due its common use as structural rafters a...

the present study is concerned with the simultaneous optimization of the size of components and the arrangement of connections for performance-based seismic design of low-rise spsws. design variables include the size of beams and columns, the thickness of the infill panels, the type of each beam-to-column connection and the type of each infill-to-boundary frame connection. the objective functio...

A common lateral force resisting system for cold-formed steel (CFS) buildings consists of shear walls sheathed with oriented strand board (OSB). Previous experimental and computational research on CFS shear walls, as well as those with other framing materials, has demonstrated that the complex interaction of the fasteners with the sheathing is an important factor in the nonlinear behavior of th...

There is a growing need for the rehabilitation, repair, and upgrading of concrete structures such as bridges and buildings. The repair or rehabilitation of reinforced concrete structures often offers a lower cost alternative to rebuilding, and it is traditionally achieved by bonding steel plates to the tensile face of a reinforced concrete member. The shear strength can be enhanced with plates ...

This article describes molecular dynamics simulations of an ionic liquid (IL) confined between iron oxide surfaces under relatively high pressure and severe shearing, representative of a typical steel-steel lubricated contact. The simulations reveal the presence of hydrodynamic and thermal slip at the walls, despite the wetting nature of the fluid/wall interface. A crucial consequence of the te...

A series of tests was conducted on six 2.7 m × 3.7 m shear wall specimens consisting of cold-formed steel framing sheathed on one side with sheet steel adhered to gypsum board and on the opposite side with plain gypsum board. The specimens were subjected to various sequences of simulated seismic shear deformation and fire exposure to study the influence of multi-hazard interactions on the later...

In the present study, a new method for retrofitting reinforced concrete beam is introduced in which steel-concrete composite jackets containing steel fiber is used. For this purpose, 75% of the peripheral surface of reinforced concrete beams was initially reinforced using steel plates and bolts, and steel fiber reinforced concrete was used between the steel plates and the peripheral surfaces of...
