This paper examines the reliability of welded stud shear connectors for steel-concrete composite bridge girders. A finite element model of a simply-supported bridge was created featuring link connector elements representing the shear studs between beam and ...
A laboratory research program carried out at the University of Waterloo featured the testing of three large-scale steel-concrete composite beam specimens with embedded bolt shear connectors. A detailed assessment of the connector performance was made, faci ...
The aim of this paper is to propose a new framework for assessment of fatigue partial safety factors with focus on steel bridges welded joints. Fatigue resistance S-N curves for constant amplitude (CA) and variable amplitude (VA) loadings are defined using ...
Purpose – The purpose of this study is to develop a robotic training system for the hand movements during manual welding. The system provides real-time notice-feedback with sound or light alarms, whenever the welding hand vibrates beyond the nominal level ...
