The real now, which has a duration of about 3 seconds, is the moment in which what happened glides in to the past and becomes already history, whereas the future did not yet arrive. The real now and architecture. ...
MANSLAB2018Mechanical Model for Drift-Induced Punching of Slab-Column Connections without Transverse Reinforcement
Aurelio Muttoni, Katrin Beyer, Ioannis Sokratis Drakatos
A mechanical model is presented for predicting the momentrotation relationship of interior slab-column connections without transverse reinforcement when subjected to seismically induced drifts. The model accounts explicitly for the three load-transfer acti ...
2018Rotational stiffness of web-flange junctions of pultruded GFRP decks
Thomas Keller, Julia De Castro San Roman Fest, Sonia Yanes Armas
The rotational behavior of the web-flange junctions (WFJs) of a pultruded glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bridge deck system with trapezoidal cell cross-sectional geometry was investigated. The rotational response of three WFJ types, in two bending m ...
Elsevier2017Analytical model for the out-of-plane response of vertically spanning unreinforced masonry walls
An analytical model describing the flexural response of vertically spanning out-of-plane loaded unreinforced masonry walls is presented in this paper. The model is based on the second-order Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and captures important characteristics ...
Wiley-Blackwell2017Local structural effects in fiber-reinforced polymer web-core sandwich structures
Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) pultruded decks and sandwich panels currently represent two of the most extensive applications of FRP materials for load-bearing structural components in the bridge and building domains. Based on the state of the art, ...
EPFL2017On Moments Of Twisted L-Functions
We study the average of the product of the central values of two L-functions of modular forms f and g twisted by Dirichlet characters to a large prime modulus q. As our principal tools, we use spectral theory to develop bounds on averages of shifted convol ...
Johns Hopkins Univ Press2017Semi-Rigid Moment-Resisting Behavior of Multiple Tab-and-Slot Joint for Freeform Timber Plate Structures
Historically based on the transfer of ancestral know-how, the art of carpentry changed considerably at the beginning of the 21st century with the arrival on the market of engineered wood products (EWP) and computer numerically controlled machines (CNC). Th ...
EPFL2017Development of a Steel Brace with Intentional Eccentricity and Experimental Validation
Conventional buckling braces are the most commonly used steel bracing systems but are characterized by intense local midlength buckling that leads to unstable energy dissipation and finally fracture. Moreover, they are unable to dissipate energy in the eve ...
American Society of Civil Engineers2017Characterization of rotational behavior of web-flange junctions of pultruded GFRP bridge decks
Thomas Keller, Julia De Castro San Roman Fest, Sonia Yanes Armas
The rotational behavior of the web-flange junctions (WFJs) of a pultruded GFRP bridge deck system was investigated. The rotational response of three WFJ types was characterized. An experimental procedure based on three-point bending and cantilever experime ...
2016Seismic behaviour of slab-column connections without transverse reinforcement
Reinforced concrete (RC) flat slabs supported by slender columns are often used as gravity load resisting system for buildings in regions of moderate and high seismicity. Such buildings are typically braced by RC walls, which carry the largest portion of t ...
