In recent years, the risk of damage or failure of axial load bearing structural members has increased rapidly due to increase of accidental vehicle/ship collision events. Therefore …
Hollow structural members are highly vulnerable structural components subjected to transverse impact loads. These tubular members have been used widely in both onshore …
Axial load-bearing structural members often experience significant damage or failure when subjected to moving-vehicle or vessel collisions. Hollow steel tubular columns are highly …
The structural formwork used in aero-plane, vehicle, ship and other structures can be subjected to impact loading when they collide with other objects under explosive event. The …
Bridge columns are continuously exposed to major damage due to vehicle collisions, and such collisions can result in disastrous consequences. Composites such as carbon fibre …
This literature review paper presents the latest technologies, designs and technics which has been used to improve the transverse impact resistivity of Concrete Filled Steel Tubes …
This PhD thesis is devoted to contributing to the existing knowledge of FRP (Fibre Reinforced Polymer) strengthened metallic structural members subjected to dynamic …
