programme was undertaken to model the mechanical behaviour of the fractured zone

and the influence of radial bolts on the ground deformation around the galleries. For simplicity, the tunnel section

is assumed to be circular and the problem...

parametric study is performed to evaluate effects of different parameters namely concrete cover thickness, steel plate thickness, thickness of the strengthening plate installed around the opening and bolt spacing on general behavior of the CSPSW. In addition...

In recent years, using steel plate shear walls has turned from an idea to a practical and acceptable lateral load resisting system. Steel plate shear wall is a relatively new structural system, which has been accepted by ...

In recent years, there has been an increasing incidence of failure of rock bolts due to stress corrosion cracking and localized corrosion attack in Australian underground coal mines. Unfortunately, prediction of the risk of failure from results...

and offshore structures due to their better performance and advantages. Mechanical connectors are used for better performance of the slabs. In the present research, stud bolt connectors are used together with nuts. The core is composed of ordinary concrete...

. Cohesive material-epoxy resin or shear connectors are usually used to connect the plates to the concrete core. SCS sandwich composites are being developed to be used in offshore structures and buildings.
Stud bolt is one of the shear connectors...
