Effects of reinforcement details on behavior of drilled shaft footings
(2023-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper presents an experimental study on the structural behavior of reinforced concrete drilled shaft footings, also commonly referred to as pile caps, supported on four drilled shafts. The test program investigated ... -
Numerical modelling of traditional buildings composed of timber frames and masonry walls under seismic loading
(2022-02)
Article
Open AccessExisting heritage buildings are often composed of diverse materials and structural typologies, representing a challenge for structural analysis tasks. This work investigates the combined use of simple Lumped Plasticity ... -
Bending-shear interaction buckling of stainless steel plate girders: numerical investigation and design method
(Elsevier, 2023-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyA comprehensive numerical investigation of transversely stiffened stainless steel plate girders under combined bending and shear was carried out in this paper. By using the finite element (FE) software package ABAQUS, ... -
How the carbonation treatment of different types of recycled aggregates affects the properties of concrete
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-02)
Article
Open AccessIn this research work, two types of recycled aggregates were used: (1) the recycled concrete aggregate, RCA, obtained by crushing the parent concrete produced using limestone cement and (2) the recycled concrete aggregate ... -
Efficient constitutive model for continuous micro-modeling of masonry structures
(2023-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyMasonry is a composite material often modeled as an equivalent homogenous material. However, the complexity of its micro-structure leads to complex mechanical responses, which are almost impossible to capture accurately ... -
Robust estimation of axial loads sustained by tie-rods in historical structures using Artificial Neural Networks
(2022-10)
Article
Open AccessWidely used simplified analytical methods for estimating the tensile force in tie-rods are clearly not applicable when they contain significant discontinuities or irregularities. A common example for which this fact becomes ... -
Diagonal tension performance of concrete panels reinforced with hooked end steel fibers
(2022-12)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe increase in strength of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) depends mainly on factors such as the dosage, aspect ratio and number of hooked ends of the fibers. Previous studies proposed models to estimate the flexural ... -
Use of fiber orientation factor to determine residual strength of steel fiber reinforced concrete
(2022-12-19)
Article
Open AccessThe post cracking behavior of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) subjected to direct tensile stresses is strongly related to the distribution and orientation of the fibers in the crack plane, which can be precisely ... -
Transfer matrix method for calculating the transverse load distribution of articulated slab bridges
(2022-10)
Article
Open AccessArticulated slab bridges have been widely used by transportation administration for short-to-medium span bridges because of their good economy, convenient construction, and environmental advantages, while the presence of ... -
Historical development and seismic performance of unreinforced masonry buildings with vertical extensions in the city centre of Barcelona
(2022-08)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper presents the historical development of the vertical extensions of unreinforced masonry buildings in the Eixample district of Barcelona and their impact on the seismic behaviour. Existing masonry buildings of ... -
Simplified numerical approach for the structural analysis of monumental historical aggregates: the case study of Certosa di Calci
(2022-08)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyMonumental historical buildings are worldwide recognized as a fundamental component of the World Cultural Heritage to be preserved for future generations. Their structural performance analysis needs to face challenging ... -
Reliability of stainless steel frames designed using the Direct Design Method in serviceability limit states
(2022-09)
Article
Open AccessSteel structures can be consistently and efficiently designed using system-based design-by-analysis approaches such as the Direct Design Method. However, since direct design approaches lead to potentially lighter structural ...
