This paper presents a novel CFST column-foundation connection detail to improve stress
transfer and damage control. To achieve this aim, seven specimens were created in the lab …

An approach is presented for the estimation of the parameters required to simulate the
nonlinear monotonic (ie, backbone) rotational response of Exposed-Column-Base-Plate …

This paper describes the finite element model for predicting the fundamental performance of
embedded steel column base connections under monotonic and cyclic loading. Geometric …

Column base connections are critical components in steel structures because they transfer
axial forces, shear forces and moments to the foundation. Exposed column bases are quite …

Adherence between reinforcement and the surrounding concrete is usually ignored in finite
element analysis (FEA) of reinforced concrete (RC) members. However, load transition …

This study investigated the lateral load resistance performance of connection joint of a
reinforced concrete (RC) wall structure connected to steel pipes. Four cases of connections …

This thesis firstly examines the demountability and performance of the conventional steel
column connections under various loading conditions through the developed finite element …
