Study of shear performance of steel-timber composite connection with different shear connectors

Case Studies in Construction Materials
The shear resistance of steel-timber composite (STC) connections largely depends on the shear performance of shear connectors. Three types of shear connectors, i.e., welded stud, screw, and screw-grout were considered in this paper.

Assessment of Different Retrofitting Methods on Structural Performance of RC Buildings against Progressive Collapse

Applied Sciences, 2022
Progressive collapse refers to the spread of primary local damages within the structure. Following such damages due to removing one or more load-bearing columns, the failure spreads in a chain and causes structural failure. This study represents a report
