Modelling the structural behaviour of the fold-away shelter
… namely wood wool cement boards (wwcb) and F11 structural plywood were tested under uniaxial loading. Furthermore, finite element models (FEM) supplemented the experimental work. An FEM of the corner metal bracket and a 2-dimensional FEM for the timber-framed shear wall were generated and …

Structural Behaviour of Self Consolidating Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete Beams
… and brittle in tension, SFRC transforms this behaviour and improves the diagonal tension capacity of concrete and thus can result in significant enhancements in shear capacity. However, one of the drawbacks associated with SFRC is that the addition of fibers to a regular concrete mix can cause …

Structural behaviour of concrete segmental lining tunnels: towards design optimisation
… (CSLs) can lead to either material waste or structural damage within the tunnel design life. Most research to date on CSL behaviour during construction neglects the sequential ring loading and TBM-lining transverse interactions, which this thesis proved to be key in the short and long term …

The structural behaviour of horizontally curved prestressed concrete box girder bridges
… beenin progress to analyse and understand the behaviour of all types of box-girder bridges, the resultsfrom these different research projects are unevaluated and dispersed. Therefore, a clear understanding of an accurate study on straight and curved box-girder bridgesis needed. In this study, a …

Engineering properties and structural behaviour of high strength reinforced concrete beams
… out concerning engineering properties and structural behaviour of HSC. The experimental investigation and theoretical considerations described in this thesis have been undertaken as an attempt to start to remedy this problem.<br/><br/>As part of the investigation into the structural …

Analysis of the structural behaviour of grouted pile/sleeve connections for offshore structures
… when slip occurs and successfully simulates the behaviour of plain pipe connections up to ultimate load. An elastic-plastic, work-hardening, cracking and crushing constitutive model is developed to represent the behaviour of grout material. This is used for a detailed finite element analysis of …

Structural behaviour of precast lightweight foamed concrete sandwich panel (PLFP) with shear truss connectors
… double shear truss connectors to determine its structural behaviour with validation from experimental work and to develop the empirical equation to predict its ultimate strength under axial load. PLFP panel is made of foamed concrete as the outer wythes which enclose a core layer of polystyrene. …

Structural behaviour of circular concrete filled steel tube column fill with selfcompacting concrete incorporating coal bottom ash as fine aggregate replacement
… steel tube and the concrete, hence influence the behaviour of CFST column. Employing selfcompacting concrete (SCC) in CFST column as an infill concrete remove the necessity for compaction. However, higher volume of fine aggregate required in SCC makes SCC less preferable. The objective of this …

Structural Behaviour and Seismic Performance Assessment of Steel Plate Shear Walls with Corrugated, Perforated, and Low Yield Point Steel Web Plates
… results in the design of a high-performing structural system. Advantages of LYP steel as the infill plate material have been demonstrated in different studies; however, the structural characteristics of LYP steel shear walls employing corrugated and perforated infill plates have not been …

Experimental and theoretical evaluation of progressive collapse capacity of reinforced concrete framed structures
… collapse has not been an integral part of structural design. It is difficult to predict the structural behaviour of building members during progressive collapse because of the dynamic nature of the event and the limited experimental tests conducted to understand the nature of progressive …

Validation of the deck behaviour due to post-tension loading of Ashton arch bridge
… profiles. The author set out to validate the structural behaviour of the tie-beams, after the post-tensioning construction stage. This objective was achieved by validating selected finite element model parameters with field conducted tests. The input parameter, which is the prestress loading …

Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of FRP Strengthened RC Beams under Static and Cyclic Loads
… the majority of numerical studies focus on structural behavior of FRP strengthened RC beams under static load. Very few finite element models for analysis of FRP-RC beam have been developed under cyclic load, and also the degradation of material properties of concrete, steel and FRP with …

The Analysis of Thermal and Fire Performance of Cementitious Building Components
This work is concerned with the thermal and structural behaviour of reinforced concrete members in fire conditions. The numerical analyses of temperature histories and mechanical behaviour of reinforced concrete structural members subjected to fire are the major components of this research. In this …

The behaviour of steel fibre reinforced concrete material and its effect on impact resistance of slabs
… and it has a better potential as a practicable structural material for such application under extreme loads such as impact. However, concrete is a developing material and the relevant studies towards the change and development of concrete which researchers have carried out to date reveals that …
