Elastic Stability Of Flexural Members In Civil Engineering Design
<p>The elastic lateral torsional stability of flexural members is studied. The effects of moment distribution between supports and load height with respect to shear center are examined using numerical and analytical methods. From these methods, independent moment and shear factors are developed for …

Design of an endoscopic biopsy needle with flexural members
… data from 10x scaled prototypes, variations of a flexural design captured 1.1 grams of a tissue phantom on average, as compared to wedge-type designs that averaged of 0.7-0.8 grams. Peak entrance forces for the flexure design were lower than for both wedge and extended wedge designs, and …

Steel-free hybrid reinforcement system for reinforced concrete flexural members
"New materials and design methods are being investigated for the design of bridge components to alleviate the current devastating corrosion problems. A research project was initiated at the University of Missouri (UM) and the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) to develop a nonferrous …

Behaviour of High- and Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete Flexural Members
… of high- and ultra-high performance concrete flexural members. The work starts with an investigation to develop mix proportions for ultra-performance concrete with and without fibres to achieve the desired dimensional stability as reported in Chapters 2 and 3 in this thesis. The optimal …

Design and Behavior of Composite Steel-Concrete Flexural Members with a Focus on Shear Connectors
… aspect of design of composite steel-concrete flexural members. The first part deals with a new type of shear connection in composite joists. Composite steel-concrete flexural members have increasingly become popular in design and construction of floor systems, structural frames, and bridges. A …

A Framework for Cyclic Simulation of Thin-Walled Cold-Formed Steel Members in Structural Systems
… supported by hysteretic nonlinear models for CFS members and screw-fastened connections. Design of CFS structures subjected to lateral seismic forces traditionally relies on the strength of subassemblies subjected to lateral loading of systems, such as strapped/sheathed shear walls and diaphragms, …

Minimising Embodied Carbon in Concrete Floors
… (2) adopting low-strength concrete in flexural members; (3) analysing conventional alternative slab types; and (4) optimising column layouts. Nonlinear relationships observed in optimisation methods highlight key design aspects to target for maximum reductions in embodied carbon. The …

Structural Performance of High Strength Lightweight Concrete Pretensioned Bridge Girders
… development length, prestress loss, camber, and flexural capacity are satisfactory for use with fully-bonded, pretensioned flexural members consisting of HSLWC and to make recommendations for improvements where necessary. Twelve high strength pretensioned beams of variable unit weight (eight …
