The use of composite materials is an effective technique to enhance the capacity of
reinforced concrete columns subjected to the seismic loading due to their high tensile …

Steel-concrete composite columns are used extensively in high rise building and bridges, as
a type of hybrid system. However this approach is a relatively new concept for construction …

The behaviour of partially encased composite columns under eccentric and concentric axial
loading tends to be complex because of the interaction of the concrete with the thin-walled …

Steel–concrete composite beams are widely utilized as cost-effective structural solution in
both buildings and bridges. Partial interaction through the possible occurrence of slips at the …

Buckling is a complex phenomenon, influenced by the non‐linear material properties, as
yielding of steel, cracking of concrete as well as, slenderness, geometrical imperfection and …

In the recent era, built-up columns have been continuously used by the engineers in the
design and analysis of tall buildings and bridges. Vibration analysis of these types of …

Column bases transfer reactions from the structure to the foundation. When subjected to
normal forces, shear forces and in-plane bending moments, they deform, particularly in …

An experimental program to investigate the behavior of axially loaded short columns
strengthened with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) wrap was performed. A total of 14 …
