[EN] In this work, a non-linear 3D numerical model to study concrete-filled tubular (CFST) columns is presented. The numerical model is capable to consider the passive confinement that occurs in the concrete core of CFST ...
Structural engineers usually limit the use of HSC columns to seismic active zones because of their brittle behavior in comparison with NSC, even though it presents advantages both in terms of mechanics and durability. A ...

[EN] A type of cost-effective and very high strength concrete (VHSC) with 28-day compressive strength of 100-150 MPa is developed for applications in concrete-encased steel composite column constructions. This paper ...
Hernández Figueirido, David; Romero, Manuel L.; Bonet Senach, José Luís; Montalva Subirats, José Miguel(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)
Forty-nine experimental tests were conducted on rectangular and square tubular columns filled with high-strength concrete (f'(c) 590 MPa) subjected to axial load and a nonconstant bending moment distribution. The test ...
[EN] This paper deals with the economic optimization of high-performance post-tensioned concrete box-girder pedestrian bridges. To this end, a program analyzes and evaluates the structural restrictions following Spanish ...
