Rheological damping of slender rods
(2019-09)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyEfficient and accurate modelling of mooring and cable systems for Floating Offshore Wind Turbines are a key factor in the coupled dynamic analysis for the realistic assessment of such floating structures. In order to improve ... -
Evaluation of Mallorca Cathedral seismic behavior using different analysis techniques
(University of the Aegean, 2019-01)
Article
Open AccessThe paper discusses the seismic assessment of Mallorca cathedral in Spain. This cathedral is an audacious Gothic structure built on the island of Mallorca during 14th-16th centuries, characterized by its large dimensions ... -
Influence of the patch loading length on the buckling coefficient of longitudinally stiffened plate girders
(2019-04)
Article
Open AccessCurrently, one of the most used steel bridge assembly methods is the Incremental Launching Method (ILM). Its practical application consists in passing the bridge assembly through a launching shoe as well as over each support ... -
Dynamic investigation of a large historical cathedral
(John Wiley & sons, 2017-03)
Article
Open AccessThe presented research aimed at studying the dynamic behavior of Mallorca cathedral (Mallorca Island, Spain) under ambient sources of vibration and seismic events. The cathedral is one of the greatest built masonry structures ... -
Numerical study on stainless steel I-shaped links on eccentrically braced frames
(2019-08)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyStrength, ductility and strain-hardening on austenitic stainless steel are interesting structural properties that suggest a potential strategic structural application as dissipative members in seismic-resistant systems. ... -
Challenges, tools and applications of tracking algorithms in the numerical modelling of cracks in concrete and masonry structures
(2018-06)
Article
Open AccessThe importance of crack propagation in the structural behaviour of concrete and masonry structures has led to the development of a wide range of finite element methods for crack simulation. A common standpoint in many of ... -
Sensitivity analysis on the levelized cost of energy for floating offshore wind farms
(Elsevier Ltd, 2018-12-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this paper, a sensitivity analysis is performed on the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for floating offshore wind farms (FOWFs). The analysis is carried out for three floating wind turbine concepts and three different ... -
Influence of the flanges width and thickness on the shear strength of reinforced concrete beams with T-shaped cross section
(Elsevier, 2019-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyShear design of reinforced concrete beams with T section considers only the contribution of the web, mainly provided by aggregate interlock. However, as the load increases and large web crack openings take place, aggregate ... -
Resistance of stud shear connectors in composite beams using profiled steel sheeting
(Elsevier, 2019-05)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn composite beam design, headed stud shear connectors are commonly used to transfer longitudinal shear forces across the steel-concrete interface. This paper describes the structural performance of shear connection in ... -
A new concrete plastic-damage model with an evolutive dilatancy parameter
(Elsevier, 2019-04-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyTypical plastic-damage models for concrete use a constant dilatancy parameter. On problems sensitive to confinement and shear softening, this parameter needs ad hoc calibration to fit experimental observations. This makes ... -
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
Restricted access - author's decisionTile 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 ... -
Performance-based slenderness limits for deformations and crack control of reinforced concrete flexural members
(Elsevier, 2019-05)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe use of high strength materials allows flexural members to resist the design loads or to cover long spans with a reduced depth. However, the strict cross section dimensions and reinforcement amount required in ULS are ...
