The main goal in this project was to study the behavior of Concrete-Filled Double-Skin Tube (CFDST) columns subjected to fire following earthquake scenarios. For this purpose, the behavior of CFDST ...

Concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns represent a mature yet evolving area of structural engineering. By encasing concrete within a steel tube, these composite members harness the compressive ...

Engineers at Washington University have developed a design for the framework of columns and beams that support reinforced concrete bridges so they will better resist earthquakes and be erected faster ...
