An innovative self-centring damper equipped with shape memory alloy elements and wedge-
shaped friction plates (ie SMA-VFSD) characterised by multiple energy-dissipation …

This paper attempts to acquire fundamental knowledge on the mechanical properties of high
strength steels and the corresponding high strength weld metals at arctic low temperatures …

Using steel slag, a waste by-product in the steel industry to replace natural aggregates to
produce concrete can offer a sustainable solution in mitigating the environmental problems …

The self-centering braced frames (SCBFs) have been widely investigated for enhancing the
building structures' post-earthquake repairability by reducing or even eliminating the …

Steel slag is a waste by-product from steelmaking industry but has potential for concrete
industry due to its specific physical and chemical properties. Even though the effect of steel …

In this study, the hysteretic behaviour of shape memory alloy (SMA) plates under cyclic
tension-release loadings was examined to promote their seismic applications, with an …

The present paper reports an experimental and numerical investigation on the behavior of
concrete-filled cold-formed steel elliptical stub columns. The test program was performed on …

Tests were conducted on 360 specimens to investigate the post-fire behavior of slag
concrete containing supplementary cementitious material (SCM) consisting of fly ash (FA) or …

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) tube-concrete-encased steel (FTCES) composite column
shows superior load-bearing capacity, stiffness, deformation capacity and it has excellent …

Abstract Superplasticizer (SP), particularly poly-carboxylate based, can improve
substantially the strength-workability limits of cement powder paste by decreasing the water …
