Inelastic Flexural Behaviour and Ductility Characteristics of Steel-Encased Composite Beams Incorporating Normal and High-Strength Concrete Under Out-of-Plane Actions: Nonlinear Finite Element Investigation
Abstract This study presents a rigorous investigation into the inelastic flexural response of steel-encased composite reinforced concrete beams incorporating out-of-plane segmental configurations fabricated from normal strength concrete and high-strength concrete. A total of thirteen beam specimens were organized into...
