In the study, in order to enhance the durability and constructability of the pile foundation, hybrid FRP-concrete composite pile is developed and its applicability considering construction is discussed. Existing FRP-concrete composite pile is consisted of concrete pile and filament winding FRP wound outside of the pile. To improve the axial and transverse load carrying capacities longitudinal reinforcement is also needed additionally, and hence a new type hybrid FRP-concrete composite pile (HCFFT) is suggested. A new type HCFFT which is composed of pultruded FRP, filament winding FRP, and concrete filled inside of the FRP tube is proposed to improve compressive strength as well as flexural strength of the HCFFT pile. The load carrying capacity of proposed HCFFT pile is evaluated and discussed based on the result of experimental and theoretical investigations.

The concrete-filled steel tubes have been widely used in buildings and civil structures. However the corrosion of the steel tubes results in the loss of load carrying capacities of the members and, therefore, there is a need for regular maintenance. To mitigate such maintenance issues and prevent the loss of load carrying capacity, FRP composite were suggested as the candidate material. A number of research works has shown that the use of FRP tubes produced by filament winding technique was very effective on the improvement of compressive strength of the concrete-filled FRP tubes (CFFT). However the filament wound FRP tubes did mot contribute to the increase of the flexural strength of a CFFT. In this paper, a new type of FRP tube which consists of several pultruded open sections assembled by filament winding technique is proposed to improve compressive strength as well as flexural strength of a CFFT. The load carrying capacity of proposed CFFT is discussed through the analytical investigation.

In the construction of composite bridge structures, various types of shear connectors are usually used to provide an efficient load transfer and the composite action of two or more different materials. In the previous work conducted by authors, a new type of the shear connector was introduced, which is the perforated shear connector with flange heads (T-shaped perforated shear connector), and the structural behavior of the shear connector was discussed based on the results of push-out tests. For the practical design of new shear connector, it is necessary to develop the equation for the prediction of the load carrying capacity of the shear connector. In this study, the existing design equations for the Perfobond shear connector were briefly analyzed and the equation for the prediction of the shear capacity of T-shaped perforated shear connector was suggested empirically. By comparing the results obtained by the suggested equation, the existing equations for the Perfobond shear connector, and the experiment, the applicability and effectiveness of the suggested equation was estimated.

The H-beam with corrugated webs is a new type of H-beam, whose webs are produced by substituting corrugated webs for flat webs. In this paper, analysis was conducted to study main design principles for H-beam with corrugated webs used in a project, including component design and joints design. Compared with H-beams, the products have superior load-carrying capacity and more favorable economic advantages.

The paper presents a study of the transverse bending behaviour of corrugated web beam with and without web openings. Examined steel beams consist of two flanges and a thin triangularly corrugated web, connected by automatic welding. In the literature, the influence of web opening over transverse load carrying capacity was dealt with mostly for steel beams with plane, sinusoidal and trapezoidal corrugated webs, so researches of beams with triangularly corrugated webs were found out to be very limited. A parametric study is carried out for various web slenderness and corrugation densities. A general-purpose finite element analysis software ABAQUS was used. The corrugation densities adopted in this study represent practical geometries, which are commonly used for such structures in building practice. Models with and without web openings were analysed and examined in terms of load-deformation characteristics and ultimate web shear resistance. Recommendations are given for the practical design of corrugated web beams weakened by circular openings.

Micro-vibration of aerostatic bearings has been the bottleneck in the improvement of the moving and positioning accuracy of ultra-precision fabrication and metrology equipments. In this study, a new type of aerostatic bearing restrictor has been proposed. The prototype of arrayed microhole restrictor, instead of the conventional single hole restrictor was developed with the aim of reducing the harmful micro-vibration of aerostatic bearings. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was employed to numerically calculate the air flow field. It is found that the employment of arrayed microhole restrictors can reduce the amount of micro-vibration while maintain the load carrying capacity and stiffness of the aerostatic bearing. Experimental measurement of the micro-vibration confirms the effectiveness of this new type of restrictor.

As a new type of artificial neural network model, HTM has become the focus of current research and application. The sparse distributed representation is the basis of the HTM model, but the existing spatial pool learning algorithms have high training time overhead and may cause the spatial pool to become unstable. To overcome these disadvantages, we propose a fast spatial pool learning algorithm of HTM based on minicolumn’s nomination, where the minicolumns are selected according to the load-carrying capacity and the synapses are adjusted using compressed encoding. We have implemented the prototype of the algorithm and carried out experiments on three datasets. It is verified that the training time overhead of the proposed algorithm is almost unaffected by the encoding length, and the spatial pool becomes stable after fewer iterations of training. Moreover, the training of the new input does not affect the already trained results.

One of the main factors concerning durability and service life of steel-reinforced bridges is corrosion of steel bars especially when exposed to a harsh environment. The use of glass fibre reinforcing polymer (GFRP) bars as non-corrosive material has emerged as an innovative solution to corrosion related problems, reduce the maintenance cost, and increase the service life of bridge structures. A recent cost-effective design of PL-3 bridge barrier was developed at Ryerson University incorporating high-modulus GFRP bars with headed ends. This paper presents results of full-scale static tests to collapse performed on the developed PL-3 bridge barrier at interior and exterior locations to investigate the ultimate load carrying capacity to be compared with Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code (CHBDC). The experimental ultimate load carrying capacity of the barriers was observed to be far greater than CHBDC factored design transverse load. The failure pattern was initiated by a trapezoidal crack pattern at the front face of the barrier, followed by punching shear failure at the transverse load location. Based on the punching shear failure developed in the barrier wall and comparison with available punching shear equations in the literature, an empirical punching shear equation is proposed to determine the transverse load carrying capacity of PL-3 bridge barrier walls reinforced with GFRP bars.
