Space trusses are structural systems, generally made of tubes, used worldwide because of their advantages in covering long-span roofs. In addition to having a low cost, the truss weight is relatively reduced. The load capacity of these structures dep...
This study is to analyse the dynamical instability (or the buckling) of a steel space truss using the accurate solutions obtained by the high-order Taylor series method. One is used to obtain numerical solutions for analysing instability, because it...
Concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns have been widely used in residential buildings due to their high bearing capacity, good ductility, and reliable seismic performance. However, conventional circular, square, or rectangular CFST columns may pro...
In the paper, the eccentric compression behavior of the truss-reinforced cross-shaped concrete-filled steel tubular (CCFST) column is investigated. A total of eighteen CCFST columns were tested under eccentric compression, and the key test variables...
This paper shows an extensive study on the Typical Connections used in Double-Layer Space Truss. For this structural system, the ends of the bars are flattened to connect the bars. However, the flattening process results in a highly plastic stamping...
A trussed concrete-filled square steel tubular (CFSST) composite column frame is proposed for multi-story residential buildings. The frame provides high lateral resistance and can be integrated within wall systems. To evaluate its seismic performance...
In this study, the human-induced vibration performance of an innovative Deltabeam–CLT composite floor system was investigated. The Deltabeam–CLT composite floors were modelled using the finite element software package ABAQUS 6.14, the dyn...
This article highlights the absence of published paradigms hybridized by The Cuckoo Search (CS) and Stochastic Paint Optimizer (SPO) for optimizing truss structures using composite materials under natural frequency constraints. The article proposes a...
A structure does not reach a stable state during the construction process, and hence its structural reliability is low. In order to ensure the safety of the construction process and final structural quality, it is necessary to analyze the safety and...
Steel truss–arch composite bridge systems are widely used in bridge engineering to provide sufficient space for double lanes. However, a lack of research exists on their mechanical performance throughout their lifespan, resulting in uncertainti...
Aqueduct, one kind of bridge structure overpassing a long space, is a significant structure for water delivery for the purpose of agricultural or domestic usage. Aqueduct has quite different loads from other forms of bridges, of which temperature eff...
In modern construction, there is a growing demand for floor systems that offer high spatial efficiency and easy integration of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) services. The top-chord-free Vierendeel-truss composite slab (TVCS), which omits...
The Zhanjiang Bay Laboratory R&D Building project aims to create a favorable working, research, and living environment. Zone II of the Zhanjiang Bay Laboratory R&D Building is equipped with a large-span, heavy-load transfer truss to obtain a...
In the development process of intelligent construction, the safety assessment of prestressed steel structures as an important research direction has become more and more attractive in academia. Digital twins (DTs) is the key technology to realize int...
To investigate the impact of various compartment partition plate connection methods within a shield utility tunnel on the mechanics behavior of the connecting nodes and the overall structural integrity, this study examines and simulates three distinc...
This study aims to verify which the performance-based design was successfully applied in the construction of the main exhibition hall of the first Hebei Garden Expo, China. Based on the idea of “equality and connectivity” among humans, buildings, and...
Bridges are the essential components in lifeline transportation systems, and their safe operation is of great importance. Information on structural damage could assist in timely repairs and reduce downtime. With the latest advancements in sensing tec...
Aging railroad bridges present complex challenges due to advancing deterioration and outdated design assumptions. This study develops a comprehensive analytical approach for assessing an aging steel truss railroad bridge through finite element (FE) m...
Hurricanes often devastate trees throughout coastal China; accordingly, developing a method to quantitatively evaluate the changes in tree phenotypic characteristics under continuous strong winds is of great significance for guiding forest cultivatio...
The ground motion in the near-fault region of an earthquake is characterized by exceptional energy levels, powerful velocity impulses, substantial spatial variability, and notable permanent displacement. These unique attributes can dramatically escal...
