Engineering Characteristics and Reinforcement Approaches of Organic Sandy Soil by Jun Hu, Liang Jia, Wei Wang, Hong Wei, Juan Du

“…As the unconfined compressive strength of the cement-admixed organic sandy soil was much lower than that of ordinary sand, some innovative ground improvement technologies were proposed for stabilizing organic sandy soil, such as thermal pile, fiber, and steel-, bamboo-, and freezing-cemented soil columns. The main purpose of these technologies is to enhance the bearing capacity of organic sandy soil but reduce the usage of cement, as the latter is not an eco-friendly material.…”

Experimental Study on the Seismic Performance of a Partition Damped Wall-Filled Frame Structure by Shuainan Zhai, Zuyin Zou, Zhanyuan Zhu, Zixing Zhang, Wei Liang, Xuanhao Cheng, Shuzhen Chang

“…The mechanical performances of the different frames are studied, including the characteristics of the deformation failure modes, hysteretic curves, skeleton curves, rigidity degeneration, energy dissipation capacity, and the lateral displacement of the frame columns. The research results show that the partition damping filler wall can significantly decrease the diagonal bracing effect of the filler wall on the steel frame. …”

Prediction of buckling damage of steel equal angle structural members using hybrid machine learning techniques by Nang Xuan Ho, Tien-Thinh Le, The-Hung Dinh, Van-Hai Nguyen

“…For this purpose, a database concerning compression tests of steel equal angle structural members was constructed from available resources with geometry variables such as length, width, thickness, mechanical properties of materials such as yield strength and initial imperfections (i.e. residual peak stress and initial geometric imperfections) and critical buckling load of columns. The hybrid PSOANN model was adopted because its prediction capability is higher than the traditional technique – i.e. scaled conjugate gradient (SCG). …”
