Mechanical behaviour of adhesive joint under tensile and shear loading

Due to various advantages of Fibre-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) decks, the FRP to steel composite bridge system is being increasingly used in new bridge structures as well as rehabilitation projects for old bridges. This paper focuses on the mechanical behaviours and failure modes of the adhesively-bonded joins between FRP sandwich decks and steel...

Material behavior of high strength steel S690 in fire and after fire

Practical design of stepped columns

This paper deals with buckling aspects of the design of stepped columns in heavy mill buildings. In these structures, columns have to carry significant axial loads that usually act eccentrically and strength reducing bending moments due to lateral loads. A simple physical model for buckling behaviour analysis is proposed and formulated using the...

Experimental investigation on FRP to steel adhesively-bonded joint under tensile loading

Due to various advantages of Fibre-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) decks, the FRP to steel composite girder system is being increasingly used in the construction of new bridges as well as the rehabilitation projects of old bridges. This paper focus on the mechanical behaviors and failure modes of the adhesively-bonded oins between FRP sandwich decks...

TIG-dressing of High Strength Butt Welded Connection. Part 2: Physical Testing and Modelling

Weld improvement techniques are aimed at reducing the notch effects of welds and generally focus on two aspects: a change of geometry of the weld toe and a change of the weld residual stresses. In this paper, fatigue tests are discussed, performed on butt welded specimens in steel grades ranging from S460 to S1100 in the TIG-dressed condition....

Analysis on Adhesively-Bonded Joints of FRP-steel Composite Bridge under Combined Loading: Arcan Test Study and Numerical Modeling

The research presented in this paper is an experimental study and numerical analysis on mechanical behavior of the adhesively-bonded joint between FRP sandwich bridge deck and steel girder. Generally, there are three typical stress states in the adhesively-bonded joint: shear stress, tensile stress, and combination of both. To realize these...

TIG-dressing of High Strength Steel Butt Welded Connections. Part 1: Weld Toe Geometry and Local Hardness

This paper presents the results of extensive measurements on weld toe geometry of as-welded and TIG-dressed butt welded connections in high strength steels S460, S690 and very high strength steels S890 and S1100. Descriptions of the measurement techniques and data analysis are presented. Four weld toe parameters have been formulated to...
