The effect of material strength on the behaviour of concrete‐filled steel elements

Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2004
Composite columns and beams are a combination of concrete and steel elements realising the advantages of both types of materials. According to codes for concrete‐filled column, the plastic resistance of the cross‐section is given as a sum of the ...

Analytical Modelling of LACFCST Stub Columns Subjected to Axial Compression

Mathematics, 2021
This paper presents a numerical investigation of lightweight aggregate concrete-filled circular steel tubular (LACFCST) stub columns under axial compression. A finite 3D solid element model of the LACFCST stub column was established by adopting a plastic-

Genetic Algorithm Optimized Structured Dictionary for Discriminative Block Sparse Representation

IEEE Access, 2020
This paper presents a few innovations towards learning a discriminative block-structured dictionary. The learning process of such a dictionary is broadly divided into two steps: block formation and dictionary update.

Practical design equations of the axial compressive capacity of circular CFST stub columns based on finite element model analysis incorporating constitutive models for high-strength materials

Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2022
Step into the 21st century, high strength materials have been increasingly used in engineering practice. However, current design codes for concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns have limitations when applied to high strength materials. At the meantime,
