An experimental investigation of circular concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns subjected to very low-elevation lateral impacts was performed. Six circular CFST members were prepared for ...

One of the major challenges confronting the civil engineering community today is extending the service life of degraded steel structures. Replacement of degraded structures is often not feasible, and ...

The integrations needed to determine beam deflections require the enforcement of the appropriate displacement and rotation boundary conditions (BCs). It is important that we be able to recognize these ...

In civil engineering, flexural beams are used to control the effect of vibrations that can cause cracks to appear in surfaces (concrete slabs) and beams. This is particularly important in buildings ...

When used in structural engineering, the term deflection refers to load-induced displacement, which typically affects beam designs. It can be an extremely complicated value to calculate when ...
