To explore the feasibility of using ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) to strengthen
reinforced concrete (RC) beams in torsion, pure torsion tests on 9 specimens have been …

The combination of geopolymer sea-sand concrete (GSSC) and basalt fiber reinforced
polymer (BFRP) reinforcement has the potential to optimally exploit the advantages of both …

This study develops an interpretable machine learning model for predicting the bond
strength of CFRP-steel epoxy bonding interfaces and reveals key bond parameters. A total …

The fatigue cracking at transverse diaphragm cutouts and rib-to-diaphragm connections is
one of the primary ways in which orthotropic steel decks (OSDs) are damaged. In this study …

This study investigated the retardation mechanisms and modeling methodology for the
fatigue crack growth (FCG) of a high-strength Q500qE steel after a single overload. Different …

Applying fracture mechanics theory to heterogeneous welded joints might lead to an
uncertain assessment of fatigue crack propagation behavior and, consequently, an …

The stress ratio effects and the scatter of the fatigue test results are the key issues in the
design of steel fatigue performance. This paper reports an experimental and probabilistic …

In this investigation, the influence of stress ratio on high cycle fatigue (HCF) behavior of
GMAW butt joints made of micro alloyed HSLA steel is studied. The fatigue test was …

This paper presents a study on the fatigue behavior of butt-welded high-strength steels
(HSSs) Q960, Q890, and HG785. Fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) experiments in the base …

High-temperature mechanical properties of bridge steels, which were rarely investigated,
are the foundation for fire resistance analysis and design of bridges. This study investigates …
