Many researches on double skin sandwich having top and bottom steel plates and in between concrete core called as steel-concrete-steel (SCS) were carried out by them on this SCS type using with different materials. Yet, use of coconut shell concrete (CSC) as a core material on this SCS form construction and their results are very limited. Study investigated to use j-hook shear studs under flexure in the concept of steel-concrete-steel (SCS) in which the core concrete was CSC. To compare the results of CSC, the conventional concrete (CC) was also considered. To study the effect of quarry dust (QD) in its place of river sand (RS) was also taken. Hence four different mixes two without QD and two with QD both in CC and CSC was considered. The problem statement is to examine about partial and fully composite, moment capacity, deflection and ductility properties of CSC used SCS form of construction. Core concrete strength and the j-hook shear studs used are influences the moment carrying capacity of the SCS beams. Use of QD in its place of RS enhances the strength of concrete produced. Deflections predicted theoretically were compared with experimental results. The SCS beams showed good ductility behavior.

Seven simply supported steel beams were tested to explain the effect of strengthening by external prestressing strands. All of the beams have the same steel section, clear span length and the strengthening samples which implemented by two external prestressing strands. The tested beams are divided into two categories according to existing of external prestressing strands, the first category consists of one steel beam as a reference, while, the second group deals with steel beams strengthening by external prestressing strands and consists of six steel beams divided according to the eccentricity location of prestressing strand with jacking stress (815 MPa). From experimental results, it was found that the moment curvature curves behavior for the tested beams are stiffer and with less ductility than the reference beams and the ultimate moment capacity is increased with increasing the eccentricity location. While, the maximum radius of curvature at bottom flange decreases with increasing the eccentricity location as compare with the reference beam.

Many physical model tests have examined the performance of rocking foundations during cyclic and seismic loading. These tests varied in model size, testing equipment, superstructure properties, footing shape, supporting soil environment, and loading protocol. “FoRCy, Foundation Rocking database of Cyclic and Monotonic Loading” is a new database (published at https://datacenterhub.org/ ), summarizing the results of monotonic and slow-cyclic loading tests of rocking foundations. The database consists of columns identifying testing equipment and facility, soil, superstructure, and system properties, as well as loading protocol and results. The database contains 456 records (rows), each one being unique in either model configuration or loading amplitude. To illustrate its value, this article shows correlations between (1) settlement, rotation, and factor of safety with respect to bearing capacity and (2) moment and cumulative rotation for shallow footings. Data indicate that the rotation required to mobilize the moment capacity is surprisingly constant (about 0.01 radians) for a wide range of experiments.

An experimental investigation into the moment carrying capacity of short rigid pier foundations in saturated clay is described. Scale models of square piers with different breadths and depths were used in both conventional and centrifugal studies. The results show that the relationships between moment and rotation are nonlinear but do not exhibit any peak values, and that moment limits, defined by limiting angular rotations, increase with increases in pier depth and breadth. Empirical equations are derived between moment carrying capacity and pier geometry, for a range of limiting rotations, and a very close fit is demonstrated between the moment–rotation relationships obtained using these equations and the actual data obtained from the model tests. It is shown that, at the same pier rotations, the moment carrying capacities observed in the centrifugal model tests are significantly larger than those in the conventional model tests. Numerical analyses of the prototype geometries were also carried out using a three-dimensional nonlinear finite-element computer program. The results are shown to provide satisfactory agreement with the moment–rotation behaviour and working limits observed in the centrifuge model tests. Thus, even though conventional modelling is usually legitimate for determining the immediate bearing capacity of rigid foundations in saturated clay, their rotational stability is shown to be significantly affected by self-weight stresses. Some of the existing methods for designing short piers subjected to moments are examined and compared with the results from the centrifuge model tests. Key words : pier foundation, clay, moment capacity.

In plate girders, the use of corrugated webs permits the use of thin web plates without stiffeners, which reduces the cost of beam fabrication and improves fatigue life. Experimental and analytical studies on the behavior of girders with corrugated webs were conducted that have led to design recommendations. For girders with corrugated webs subjected to shear, it was noted from the experimental as well as the analytical results that failure of the web occurs because of local or global shear buckling, which depends on the corrugation configuration. For girders with corrugated webs subjected to uniform bending, the failure was due to yielding and vertical buckling of the compression flange into the web. The test and analytical results indicate that the web offered negligible contribution to the moment-carrying capacity of the beam, and the ultimate moment capacity may be calculated on the basis of the flange yielding, ignoring any contribution from the web. The behavior of girders with corrugated webs under in-plane compressive edge loads applied directly on the top flange was investigated, and design recommendations are made. Tests to examine the behavior of girders with corrugated webs under repeated loads are few. The results from the available tests are reported and compared with the results from test on conventionally stiffened girders with flat webs.

The study for cyclic load-displacement relationship and seismic characteristics of square Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular (CFT) columns is experimentally and analytically conducted. Nine CFT column specimens are tested under constant axial loading and monotonically increasing lateral loading. For predicting the strength and ductility of CFT columns, fiber analysis technique is used. The analytical results show reasonable agreement with experiment results and the moment capacity of CFT columns is predicted with reasonable accuracy using the fiber model. The influence of the steel tube on the lateral response of CFT columns is studied for the evaluation of seismic performance.
