A method for the structural analysis and design of arched reinforced masonry and/or concrete structures
(International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), 2021)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialExtraordinary architectural examples of shell structures have been built using reinforced masonry and concrete. The current sparse use of this construction type can be attributed, among other reasons, to a lack of simple ... -
A three-dimensional approach to the Extended Limit Analysis of Reinforced Masonry
(Elsevier, 2022-01)
Article
Accés obertThe Extended Limit Analysis of Reinforced Masonry (ELARM) is a simple and user-friendly method for the design and structural analysis of singly-curved, reinforced tile vaults (López López et al., 2019). It is based on limit ... -
Analytical models to determine in-plane damage initiation and force capacity of masonry walls with openings
(American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2021-11)
Article
Accés obertMasonry panels consisting of piers and spandrels in buildings are vulnerable to in-plane actions caused by seismicity and soil subsidence. Tectonic seismicity is a safety hazard for masonry structures, whereas low-magnitude ... -
Bounds and adaptivity for 3D limit analysis
(2009-06-08T10:28:14Z)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés obertIn the present paper we compute upper and lower bounds for limit analysis in two and three dimensions. From the solution of the discretised upper and lower bound problems, and from the optimum displacement rate and stress ... -
Comparison of seismic analysis methods applied to a historical church struck by 2009 L’Aquila earthquake
(2015-07)
Article
Accés obertThis paper presents the seismic assessment of a historical church by means of different analysis methods. The church of San Marco, seriously damaged by 2009 L’Aquila earthquake, Italy, is chosen as case-study. The analysis ... -
Computational limit analysis for anchors and retaining walls
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Escola Tècnica Superior de Camins Canals i Ports de Barcelona, 2011-11-15)
Comunicació de congrés
Accés obertThe computation of the bearing capacity of engineering structures commonly relays on results obtained for simple academic examples. Recent developments in computational limit analysis have allowed engineers to compute ... -
Decomposition techniques in computational limit analysis
(2013)
Comunicació de congrés
Accés obertNumerical techniques for the computation of strict bounds in limit analyses have been developed for more than thirty years. The efficiency of these techniques have been substantially improved in the last ten years, and ... -
Lower bound element and submodel for modelling of joints between precast concrete panels
(CIMNE, 2015)
Comunicació de congrés
Accés obertIn practice, precast concrete structures are designed using either analytical methods or linear finite element tools, and the in-situ cast joints between the precast panels are assessed using conservative empirical design ... -
Multi-level numerical modelling and analysis of tile vaults
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-08-11)
Article
Accés obertThe complex structural behaviour of masonry, with its brittle response in tension, frictional response in shear, and anisotropy, makes it challenging to model accurately. Tile vaults, with their unique features such as ... -
Optimal collapse simulator for three-dimensional frames
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Escola Superior d'Enginyers de Camins Canals i Ports de Barcelona, 2011-11-15)
Comunicació de congrés
Accés obertIn this work a limit analysis for 3D structures software package is presented. The goal is to obtain for a certain structure the load factor λ that applied to the external loads induces collapse to the structure. The ... -
Parallel 3D limit analysis via the alternating direction method of multipliers
(CIMNE, 2015)
Comunicació de congrés
Accés obertThis document presents a parallelized implementation of a FEM formulation concerning both the upper and lower bound limit analysis theorems. By applying these methods to evaluate the stability of a vertical cut ... -
The basis for ductility evaluation in SFRC structures in MC2020: an investigation on slabs and shallow beams
(John Wiley & sons, 2023-08)
Article
Accés obertThe paper presents a synthesis of an extensive experimental campaign on linear and two-dimensional steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) structural elements carried out to check the ductility requirements aimed at ... -
Tile vaults as integrated formwork for concrete shells: construction, experimental testing, structural analysis and design
(Associació de Consultors d'Estructures, 2023-09)
Article
Accés obertFormworks for concrete shells are typically expensive and wasteful. Tile vaults can be used as permanent formwork for concrete shells, to reduce construction waste and cost, and thereby provide an interesting solution for ... -
Tile vaults as integrated formwork for reinforced concrete: Construction, experimental testing and a method for the design and analysis of two-dimensional structures
(Elsevier, 2019)
Article
Accés restringit per decisió de l'autorTile vaults are traditional, unreinforced masonry structures made of thin bricks (tiles), mortar and fast-setting cement or gypsum. They can be constructed without the need for a formwork, except at the boundaries, making ...
