Test results revealed that slender columns experienced an increase in load-bearing capacity ranging from 27.1 % to 32.4 % after strengthening, while the ductility enhancement reached a peak of 52.0 %. A column
The slenderness ratio, which at first glance suggests an obscure metric in the fashion world, is an engineering concept that is used to estimate the strength of a weight-bearing column, usually one made of steel. In particular, the slenderness ratio is a measure of a column's tendency to b...
Flange slenderness ratio can be relaxed to 0.38(E/Fy)0.5provided that web slenderness ratio is <1.5 (E/Fy)0.5for long links. • The overstrength factor required by AISC 341 overestimates shear capacity of long links. • Two different equations to predicted the overstrength factor for long...
The wooden column was bound with HPBBC and spaced steel strips to achieve damage-free strengthening. The slenderness ratio is an essential factor affecting the mechanical properties of wood poles, which is significant to be studied. The effect of the slenderness ratio on the axial compression ...
The results showed that the CFRP hoop wraps provided confinement to the concrete and the steel tube, and thus effectively improved the behavior of the CFST columns. The strengthening effect of the CFRP hoop wraps decreased when the slenderness ratio increased. The existing AISC expression of ...
