Structural Behavior of Flexible and Semi-Rigid Beam-Column Joint Connections by FEM
Abstract: This study investigates the structural behavior of flexible and semi-rigid beam-column joint connections in cold-formed steel (CFS) structures, focusing on the use of Finite Element Modeling (FEM) to simulate their performance under various loading conditions. Traditional analysis methods often oversimplify beam-column connections, treating them as either perfectly rigid or fully flexible, which does not accurately capture real-world joint behavior. In reality, many beam-column joints exhibit semi-rigid characteristics, where the stiffness …

Structural Health Monitoring of Polypropylene Fiber- Reinforced Composite Using Accelerometer Sensors
Abstract: This study explores the application of accelerometer sensors for structural health monitoring (SHM) in evaluating the performance of polypropylene fiber-reinforced composites (PFRC). Incorporating polypropylene fibers into concrete enhances its structural integrity and durability. However, accurately assessing PFRC behavior under various conditions is crucial for its practical application in construction. This research employs advanced accelerometer sensor technology for real-time monitoring and assessment of PFRC performance. Experimental investigations captured and analyzed the …
