Experimental and numerical investigation on precast CECFST column-to-column connections subjected to axial and eccentric compression by Zhu, Gaoming, Tan, Kang Hai

“…This form of structural members has been increasingly used as columns in high-rise buildings and as piers in long-span bridges. Recently, to promote the application of CECFST columns in countries short of labour, e.g., Singapore, North America and Europe, an advanced precast CECFST column-to-column connection with rapid construction and excellent tensile performance was developed by the authors. …”

An agent-based framework for problem solving in symbiotic simulation systems by Aydt, Heiko

“…An autonomous problem solver agent which is meant to replace a human problem solver and automatically perform what-if analyses, needs to be able to solve different problems during its life span. This requires a flexible approach that does not statically hard-code information about a problem into the problem solving algorithm. …”

Local-flexural interactive buckling of S690 high strength steel slender welded I-section columns: testing, modelling and design by Sun, Yao, Liang, Yating, Su, Andi, Zhao, Ou

“…A testing programme, adopting two S690 high strength steel slender welded I-sections, was firstly conducted and included initial geometric imperfection measurements and ten pin-ended column tests. The testing programme was accompanied by a numerical modelling programme, where finite element models were developed and validated against the test results and then employed to perform parametric studies to generate further numerical data over a wide range of cross-section dimensions and member effective lengths. …”
