The current study is consistent with the ongoing research on constructing resilient structures
by restricting damage inside replaceable components at expected locations employed in …

The strength of high-strength steel butt-welded joints with a similar steel grade may be quite
different due to their discrepancies in the processing methods of high-strength steel. The …

Previous studies on the mechanical properties of high strength steel (HSS) Q690 at fire were
mainly focused on the heating stage and post-fire stage, while few studies have been …

Understanding of energy dissipation process of the selected material for a crashworthy
structure is essential for its safety and reliability. Critical stress analysis for notched …

High-strength bolts are widely used in beam-column connections of high-rise steel framed
buildings. At the event of a fire, high-strength bolts may experience significant creep in a …

Mechanical properties of steel at elevated temperatures induced by fire are essential for
structural fire-resistance design and analysis. Currently, the mechanical properties of high …

Different welding cooling methods used in steel manufacturing confer different mechanical
properties to the produced material. The use of the electric arc-type welding connections …

The carbon dioxide fire extinguishing process can produce temperatures as low as− 80° C.
However, the effect of rapid cooling and ultralow temperatures on the properties of steel is …

S45C carbon steel is widely used as a raw material for tools and automotive components. In
machine components, a material that has hard and ductile properties is also needed, with …

The current research of the QP and QPT process has been focused on controlling the
heating temperature and holding time, or adding alloy elements into the steel to induce …
