Abnormal events, that are unforeseeable low-probability and high-impact events, cause
local failure (s) to structures that can lead to the collapse of other members and, eventually …

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials have gained popularity in civil,
mechanical, aircraft, and chemical engineering domains due to their superior mechanical …

Vehicle collision is an important reason for failing urban or highway bridges. However, few
works have focused on the probability of damage to a bridge under such extreme loads. In …

This paper presents experimental and numerical studies about the effect of geometric shape
of impactors (drop weight) at damage status on weak axis of rectangular hollow section …

With escalating demand for urban parking structures, the columns within these structures are
more susceptible to hazards resulting from vehicle collisions compared to other public …

Steel garages are widely used in urban areas to park cars, and are often subjected to
vehicular collisions. Currently, few design standards provide reasonable guidelines for the …

This paper proposes an innovative bionic corrugated sandwich cylindrical tube (CSCT)
attributed to its lightweight and excellent energy absorption efficiency. The numerical model …

In this paper, ABAQUS software is used to carry out finite element simulation on the axial
compression performance of corroded round steel pipe members reinforced by FRP casing …

This study presents an experimental and numerically study about the effects of fiber
