    Abstract: The beam column connection is the most critical zone in a reinforced concrete frame. The strength of connection affects the overall behavior and performance of RC framed structures subjected to lateral load and axial loads. The study of critical parameters that affects the overall joint performances and response of the structure is important. Recen... Show More

    Abstract: According to similar criteria, the on-site lattice support on-site in the typhoon area is 62m high and scaled down at 1: 150 to produce an aeroelastic scaled model of the lattice support. Based on the specifications and the characteristics of the wind field in the area where the project is located, a type A landform is used for wind tunnel tests. T... Show More

    Abstract: The permafrost in wetland area is very sensitive to temperature change due to its special geological conditions. By observing the temperature data of the pile-soil junction of the bored concrete pile, as well as measuring the geotechnical parameters and thermophysical parameters of the soil around the pile, it statistically analyzes the significant...
