    Abstract: This paper investigates the buckling behavior of Q690 high-strength steel tubes under combined axial compression and bending loads through experimental testing and finite element analysis (FEA). A total of 27 full-scale specimens with varying slenderness ratios (λ) and diameter-to-thickness (D/t) ratios were tested to evaluate their load-bearing ca... Show More

    Abstract: Canopy effect has been paid more and more attention in high-filling engineering in cold and arid regions of China. Vapour transfer is considered as the main cause of canopy effect in freezing soil in the literature. However, the influencing factors of vapour transfer in freezing soils have not been systematically analyzed in the literature. Based o... Show More
