Vertical variations of strength in a structural element is a well-established phenomenon. In large cross-sections, horizontal strength gradients can also occur because of local differences in humidity and temperature conditions. When the heat of hydration of concrete is free to dissipate from a cros

This paper is concerned with the ductility, strength and stability behaviour of concrete filled steel box columns. A cross-sectional analysis procedure which considers the nonlinear material properties of steel and concrete has been developed. The steel behaviour includes the presence of residual st
The paper presents theories to predict the direct tensile strength of concrete reinforced with short, discontinuous fibers uniformly dispersed and randomly oriented in the matrix. These theories are based on a law of mixtures approach and an effective fiber spacing concept which take into account th
Tall building columns are subjected to high axial loads particularly at lower levels. In zones of high seismicity, these columns have to maintain their axial load carrying capacity during an earthquake. Conventional ordinary reinforced concrete, structural steel and concrete filled tube columns are
For evaluating the performance of concrete constructions such as foundation piles, a knowledge of the dynamic properties of concrete is also required. Some results of a study of concrete under dynamic impact loading are given in this paper. ~ lOOx200 mm cylindrical specimens were cast from plain and
