  Effects of tensile stresses on punching shear strength of RC slabs 

  Fernández Sánchez, Pablo Gonzalo; Marí Bernat, Antonio Ricardo; Oller Ibars, Eva; Domingo Tarancón, Magí (Editorial Club Universitario, 2019)
  Conference report
  Open Access

  RC slabs can be subjected to transverse loads and tensile in-plane forces, as it occurs in top slabs of continuous bridges under negative moments. Tensile forces can reduce the shear or punching capacity of the slab, aspect ...

  This paper presents the results of a series of nonlinear time history analyses per-formed in Abaqus on a single-span two-storey moment resisting frame. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the base shear when the structure ...
• Critical buckling load on transversally and longitudinally stiffened steel plate girders subjected to patch loading 

  Herrera, Juan Carlos; Chacón Flores, Rolando Antonio (CRC Press, 2019)
  Conference report
  Restricted access - publisher's policy

  It has been investigated that the patch loading resistance model available in European design rules may lead to an underestimation for plate girders with closely spaced transverse stiffeners. Predicting models have been ...
