This study proposes a double-composite section to enhance the s serviceability of twin-girder railway bridges, especially in terms of the flexural stiffness of the composite section in negative-moment regions. This paper deals with experiments on continuous twin-girder bridge models with 5m-5m span length with the proposed double-composite action. From results of static tests on the bridge models, several design considerations were investigated including effective width, shear connection and ultimate strength of the double-composite concrete slab showed full shear connection, which verified the suggested empirical equation. From the flexural behavior of the double-composite section, the effective width of the bottom concrete slab can be evaluated as that of the concrete slab under compression. The ultimate flexural strength of the bridge models verified the validity of the rigid plastic analysis of the double-composite section. Design guidelines were suggested based on the test results.

The existing Double T-Beams have been positively constructed in America and Europe due to their elegant appearance and simple section shapes. However, there are some problems; thery are relatively weak in the structural resistance, and need to use somewhat limited and complicated construction methods. In this paper, new composite beams made of concrete and steel are proposed, by taking adventage of their merits in an effort to solve thess controversial problems. In addition, feasibility is presented in developing composite Double T-Beams by introducing pre-stressing forces as well to enhance structural safety.

A design optimization is performed for the double-bolted joint in cylindrical composite structures by using a simplified analytical method. This method uses failure criteria for the major failure modes of the bolted composite joint. For the double-bolted joint with a zigzag arrangement, it is necessary to consider an interaction effect between the bolt arrays. This paper proposes another failure mode which is determined by angle and distance between two bolts in different arrays and define a failure criterion for the failure mode. The optimal design for the double-bolted joint is carried out by considering the interactive net-tension failure mode. The genetic algorithm (GA) is adopted to determine the optimized parameters; bolt spacing, edge distance, and stacking sequence of the composite laminate. A purpose of the design optimization is to maximize the burst pressure of the cylindrical structures by ensuring structural integrity. Also, a progressive failure analysis (PFA) is performed to verify the results of the optimal design for the double-bolted joint. In PFA, Hashin 3D failure criterion is used to determine the ply that would fail. A stiffness reduction model is then used to reduce the stiffness of the failed ply for the corresponding failure mode.

The double-row long-short composite anti-sliding piles system is an effective way to control the landslides with high thrust. In this study, The double-row long-short composite anti-sliding piles with different load segment length (cantilever length) and different pile row spacing were studied by a series of physical tests, by which the influences of load segment length of rear-row piles as well as pile row spacing on the mechanical response of double-row long-short composite anti-sliding pile system were investigated. Based on the earth pressures in front of and behind the piles obtained during tests, then the maximum bending moments of the fore-row and the rear-row piles were calculated. By ensuring a equal maximum moments in the fore-row and the rear-row piles, the optimum lengths of the rear-row piles of double-row long-short composite system under different piles spacing were proposed. To investigate the validity of the reduced scale tests, the full-scale numerical models of the landside were finally conducted. By the comparisons between the numerical and the physical test results, it could be seen that the reduced scale tests conducted in this study are reliable. The results showed that the double-row long-short composite anti-sliding piles system is effective in the distribution of the landslide thrust to the rear-row and the fore-row piles.

The use of the co-cured joining method for composite structures is attractive due to several benefits. However, since the design stress level in cyclic loads is often smaller than the joint strength obtained from the static tensile load test, it is important to establish proper fatigue design criteria. Although some researchers have reported on co-cured joints, there are only a few papers published on the fatigue characteristics of co-cured joints. In this paper, the effect of bond parameters on the fatigue characteristics of a steel-composite co-cured double lap joint under cyclic tensile loads was experimentally investigated. We considered the surface roughness of the steel adherend and the stacking sequence of the composite adherend as bond parameters. A fatigue failure mechanism of the co-cured double lap joint was explained systematically by investigating the surfaces of failed specimens.

This paper presents on the structural behavior of the the methyl methacrylate monomer (MMA) double wide flanged the glass fiber-reinforced polymer(GFRP) pipe composite structures for the manhole raise. The evaluation of structural performance on this composite structure was conducted by the axial load, fatigue load, and ultimate load test. The assessment indicates that the MMA double wide flanged GFRP pipe composite structures was confirmed safety, durability and reliability in result as expected. It was found that this composite structure was able to short working times to around 30-50% and construction costs to around 10-23% with compare other construction methods. Also, environmental pollution and civil complaints will be prevented because there will be no longer any noises, vibrations, dust, or construction wastes.

A procedure for constructing a double sampling plan with zero acceptance number for the first sample whose combined sample size does nat exceed that of the given single or double sampling plan is studied. Using this procedure a double sampling system is proposed that can be used in place of MIL-STD-105D system when the quality history is good, and its composite quality characteristics are tabulated and compared with those of MIL-STD-105D system. The study reveals that composite ASN's of the proposed double sampling system are considerably smaller than those of corresponding MIL-STD-105D system with no appreciable changes in other composite quality characteristics. The procedure is also applied to K SA 3102 plans with similar results. A cost model that can be used in comparing a given single sampling plan with the proposed double sampling plan is also developed.

Co-cured joining method is an efficient joining technique because both curing and bonding processes for the composite structures can be achieved simultaneously. It requires neither an adhesive nor a surface treatment of the composite adherend because the excess resin, which is extracted from composite materials during consolidation, accomplishes the co-cured joining process. In this paper, we considered three bond parameters, affecting tensile load bearing capacity of the co-cured single and double lap joints. Filially, we nave presented optimal bonding conditions for co-cured single and double lap joints with steel and composite adherends under tensile loads.

In this paper aeroelastic behavior of 3-phase nano-composite beam-plate with double delaminations is investigated. It is tried to study the effect of carbon nano-tubes (CNTs) on critical flutter pressure of reinforced damaged nano-composite structures. In this case, the CNTs are appending to the polymer matrix uniformly. The Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka model is used to obtain the effective material properties of 3-phase nano-composite beam-plate. To investigate the aeroelastic behavior of delaminated beam-plate subjected to supersonic flow, it is assumed that the damaged segments are forced to vibrate together. The boundary conditions and auxiliary conditions at edges of delaminated segments are used to predict critical flutter pressure. The influence of CNTs and different delamination parameters such as delamination length, axial position and its position through thickness are investigated on critical flutter pressure.

Progressive failure analysis of steel composite double T-beam is performed to investigate the mechanical effects of steel composite fabricated in the webs of double-T beam to replace concrete placing forms. The analysis is based on nonlinear finite element scheme considering material nonlinearities of concrete, reinforcing bar and PS steel. Four-parameter strength envelope defines the hardening and softening phenomena of concrete with consideration of the various levels of confining pressures. Rankine maximum strength criterion defines the elasto-plasticity of PS steel and reinforcing bar, and Von Mises $J_2$ failure criterion for steel plate which wraps the concrete webs of double T-beam. A 6m long two-span steel composite double T-beam is analyzed and compared with the experimental results.
