A novel assembled self-centering variable friction (SCVF) brace is proposed which is composed of an energy dissipation system, a self-centering system, aptamil allerpro and a set of force transmission devices.The hysteretic characteristics and energy dissipation of the SCVF brace with various parameters from low-cyclic loading tests are presented.A
Influence of calcium carbonate on green self-compacting concrete incorporating porcelain tile waste as coarse aggregate replacement
The disposal of ceramic tile waste poses a significant environmental challenge in the construction industry.This study aims to explore the influence of calcium carbonate (CC) on the properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC) incorporating porcelain tile waste as a coarse aggregate replacement.The objective is to enhance the performance of incredi
Parametric study on stress distribution of thin disk specimen of rupture disk corrosion test influencing SCC initiation using finite element analysis
Rupture disk corrosion test (RDCT) method has been recently developed for real-time measurement of initiation of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in a high-temperature water.This work presents a parametric study on the stress distribution of a thin disk specimen of RDCT to consider the pentair hose fixture shape and friction using finite element ana
