Experimental Study on the Seismic Behavior of Squat SRC Shear Walls with High Axial Load Ratio

Buildings, 2022
This paper aims to study the seismic behavior of squat steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) shear walls with a high axial load ratio. Nine squat SRC shear walls with varying axial load ratios, steel ratios, and horizontal distributed reinforcement ratios were

A multi-scale approach for the optimum design of sandwich plates with honeycomb core. Part I: homogenisation of core properties [PDF]

, 2014
This work deals with the problem of the optimum design of a sandwich panel. The design process is based on a general two-level optimisation strategy involving different scales: the meso-scale for both the unit cell of the core and the constitutive layer ...

Microphysiological Glomerular Filtration Barriers: Current Insights, Innovations, and Future Applications

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
The glomerular filtration barrier (GFB) is the first step of blood filtration by the kidneys. The concerning increase of kidney diseases makes the development of new models essential. In this context, microphysiological glomerular filtration barriers focus on closely reproducing the physiological architecture of the in vivo GFB: podocytes, glomerular ...

Simplified Analytical Model and Shaking Table Test Validation for Seismic Analysis of Mid-Rise Cold-Formed Steel Composite Shear Wall Building

Sustainability, 2018
To develop the cold-formed steel (CFS) building from low-rise to mid-rise, this paper proposes a new type of CFS composite shear wall building system. The continuous placed CFS concrete-filled tube (CFRST) column is used as the end stud, and the CFS-ALC ...

Non‐Destructive and Mechanical Characterization of the Bond Quality of Co‐Extruded Titanium‐Aluminum Profiles

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study investigates the bond quality of co‐extruded aluminum–titanium hybrid profiles, focusing on the lateral angular co‐extrusion (LACE) process. It examines how heat treatments (HT) affect intermetallic phase formation, bond strength, and material properties.

Glued timber concrete composite walls using ultra-high-performance concrete

Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2022
This paper gives a short introduction of the development of cross laminated timber (CLT) concrete composite walls with a glued connection. In the composite walls, prefabricated ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) lamellas replace timber lamellas at ...

Thin-wall composite sphere in finite shear deformation

International Journal of Solids and Structures, 2017
Abstract We examine the mechanical response of an incompressible thin-wall composite sphere (TWCS) within the framework of finite deformation elasticity. Specifically, we consider TWCSs with a neo-Hookean core phase and a stiffer or a softer shell subjected to simple shear displacement and traction boundary conditions.

Structural performance of steel-concrete sandwich beams with carbon nanofiber reinforcement [PDF]

, 2019
Cementitious materials such as concrete are typically characterised as quasi-brittle with low tensile strength and low strain capacity, which hence affect the long-term durability of the structure.
