Experimental investigations and design of precast concrete‐filled steel corrugated sheet slender columns with intermediate connection

Structural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 193-210, February 2026.
Abstract Concrete‐filled steel corrugated sheet (CFSCS) offers confinement to the core concrete while the outer galvanized corrugated steel sheet (GCSS) offers excellent corrosion resistance. Application of precast multiple CFSCS columns connected through high‐performance concrete (HPC) in constructing a slender column offers ease of construction while

Validation and Investigation of a Multiaxial Progressive Damage Model Through Glass Fiber Reinforced Tube Specimen Under Fatigue Loading

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 1, Page 84-101, January 2026.
ABSTRACT In the field of composite structure fatigue simulations, progressive damage models are common tools. However, these models are dependent on the definition of meta parameters, such as the residual stiffness following an interfiber failure mode. This study presents a progressive damage model utilizing shell elements, with the material parameters

Optimization of Concrete Beams Reinforced with GFRP Bars

Journal of Soft Computing in Civil Engineering, 2022
Members with GFRP bars exhibit different behavior from those with steel bars due to the brittle and low elastic modulus of the GFRP bars. However, there are limited studies considering the optimum design of reinforced concrete members with GFRP bars compared with extensive studies for reinforced concrete members with steel bars.
