Fatigue in steel?concrete composite beams can result from cyclic loading, causing stress fluctuations that may lead to cumulative damage and eventual failure over an extended period. In this paper, the experimental findings from fatigue loading tests on ...

Bonded joints used in wing sections and frames of aircraft structures are mostly exposed to cyclic loadings instead of static ones during their services. Bending types of dynamic loadings are mostly encountered. In this study, the fatigue response of a s...

Fibre ropes offer beneficial properties for mooring of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs). However, the mooring line?s stiffness is both load-history and load-rate dependent. A quasi-static stiffness is observed for slow loading, with a higher stiff...

This study proposed a novel experimental platform to conduct dynamic loading tests of a truncated model steel catenary riser (SCR) within the touchdown zone (TDZ). The facilities of the platform, including a soil tank, a loading system, and a soil stirri...

Given that the existing drainage strengthening methods for underwater damaged piers are expensive, inefficient, and cause shipping traffic disruptions, an urgent need exists to explore undrained strengthening methods, such as the precast concrete segment...

The rehabilitation of steel structures with Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRP?s) may appear less effective because they can be bolted or welded with steel plates that display the same mechanical properties. However, this technique has some unwanted conseque...
