ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 2-3, Page 785-790, September 2026.Abstract Demountable joints in steel construction have significant roles in enhancing sustainability in the built environment, as it encourages the reusability. Demountable truss joints investigated in this paper consist of truss elements with Rectangular Hollow Sections (RHS) assembled using self‐drilling screws.

Compression design of built‐up members suffering from major/minor axes coupled instabilities
ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 2-3, Page 1931-1936, September 2026.Abstract This study examines the flexural buckling behavior of compressive built‐up members in steel truss bridges, with emphasis on the interaction between major‐ and minor‐axis buckling. When the critical loads about the two axes are close, their coupling significantly reduces axial resistance.

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.AlB2‐KAlF4 composites were fabricated via SHS using Al and KBF4. Phase evolution, microstructure, and reaction mechanism were characterized. KBF4/Al melting initiates the reaction; BF3‐Al redox yields AlB2 and KAIF4 with distinct morphologies. ABSTRACT Using Al and KBF4 as raw materials, AlB2‐KAlF4 composites were synthesized by self‐propagating high ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2719-2741, September 2026.ABSTRACT Viscous dampers (VDs) are widely used to mitigate the excessive responses of long‐span bridges. However, VDs face some intricate challenges in engineering practices, including high damping coefficient requirement, potential base shear amplification and tremendous damping force under high velocity. To address these issues, this study develops a
