Resilient Performance of Self-Centering Hybrid Rocking Columns: Theory, Experiment, and Numerical Simulation by Shi Yan, Tao Wang, Xing Su

“…In addition, a group of RED-HRC specimens were tested under pseudo static loading to investigate the resilient performance by considering the main influencing factors of the cross-sectional area of the prestressed unbonded tendons, the initial value of the prestressing force, the axial compression ratio of HRCs, and the thickness of the RED. Moreover, a finite element model (FEM) validated by the experimental data was established by using the ABAQUS platform to further study the resilience of the proposed RED-HRCs, focusing on the energy dissipating efficiency of the RED. …”

Reinforcing Effect of Carbon Nanotubes/Surfactant Dispersions in Portland Cement Pastes by Oscar A. Mendoza Reales, Caterin Ocampo, Yhan Paul Arias Jaramillo, Juan Carlos Ochoa Botero, Jorge Hernán Quintero, Emílio C. C. M. Silva, Romildo Dias Toledo Filho

“…Mechanical properties of the pastes cured at 7 days were measured, and their fracture behavior was characterized using the linear elastic finite element analysis. It was found that the reinforcing effect of MWCNT was masked by the negative effect of surfactants in the cement matrix; nevertheless, nanotubes were capable of increasing both stress and strain capacity of the composite by controlling the crack propagation process at the tip of the crack.…”
