  Shear strength of non-slender reinforced concrete beams, in which a/d¿ 2.5, is enhanced due to arching action. Current shear design methods for such elements, including the Strut-and-Tie Method (STM), show deviations with ...
• Wave hydrodynamic forces over mooring lines on floating offshore wind turbines 

  Trubat Casal, Pau; Molins i Borrell, Climent; Gironella Cobos, Xavier (2020-01)
  Article
  Restricted access - publisher's policy

  The mooring loading of floating offshore wind turbines are mainly induced by the platform motions through the fairleads. The dynamic analysis usually only considers the hydrodynamic forces over the mooring by the motion ...

  This paper presents an experimental study of the structural behaviour of masonry walls retrofitted with Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM) to improve their in-plane shear strength and deformation capacity. The experimental ...
• B-spline sectional model for general 3D effects in reinforced concrete elements 

  Poliotti, Mauro; Bairán García, Jesús Miguel (Elsevier, 2020-03)
  Article
  Restricted access - publisher's policy

  In this paper, an efficient sectional model for the nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete elements sensible to 3D stress-components effects is presented. The classic plane-sections kinematic hypothesis is enhanced with ...
