Abstract With the market introduction of new reinforcing materials, such as corrosion‐resistant steel, the effect of their stress–strain relationship on the ductility of reinforced concrete structures needs to be evaluated. Their moment‐curvature behavior significantly influences bending moment redistributions, rotation capacity, and deformation at ...

Experimental analysis of bolted connections for precast concrete walls under cyclic tensile loading
Abstract Dry‐bolted connections in precast wall structures simplify the assembly process and offer significant advantages in terms of construction speed and cost. In fact, the reduction of the required workmanship, compared to wet connections, makes this solution highly competitive.

Multi‐level fatigue reliability assessment of reinforced concrete railway bridges
Abstract This paper presents a multi‐level reliability framework for assessing the fatigue life of reinforced concrete (RC) railway trough bridges subjected to cyclic loading. The framework incorporates increasing levels of analytical complexity and real‐world data in four steps. First, an analytical model applies S–N curves and the Palmgren–Miner rule

Effect of post‐aging conditions on mechanical and thermal properties of FDM‐printed parts. ABSTRACT In this study, the thermal and hydrothermal aging of TPU produced with the FDM technique was simulated and subjected to a series of tests. The alterations in the internal structures of the samples that had been subjected to tensile, hardness, adhesive ...

ABSTRACT Thermoplastic composite pipes (TCPs) have potential applications in offshore oil and gas industries because of their strength, lack of corrosion, and flexibility. Designed for fluid transportation in high‐pressure and high‐temperature environments, manufacturing defects and operational loads can compromise their performance.
