In the framework of EUROfusion Consortium the Work Package Heating and Current Drive addresses the engineering design and R&D for the electron cyclotron, ion cyclotron and neutral beam systems. This paper reports the activities performed in 2014, focusing ...
This paper analyses the potential of different possible folded form topologies for generating timber folded surface structures. The main advantage of such structures lies primarily in the realm of ecology and sustainability. By offering an integral way of ...
Recent earthquakes in Chile (2010, M 8.8) and New Zealand (2011, M 6.3) have shown that, despite many years of extensive research and subsequent design code advancements, several modern reinforced concrete walls underperformed or even failed during these s ...
Reinforced concrete slabs without shear reinforcement under concentrated loads near linear supports are typical cases of bridge deck slabs, transfer slabs or pile caps. Such members are often designed or assessed in shear/punching shear with code provision ...

This paper evaluates the effectiveness of single and multi-mode nonlinear static procedures (NSPs) as well as the FEMA P58 simplified approach versus rigorous nonlinear response history analyses (NRHA) for estimating seismic demands of steel special moment ...
This paper quantifies the lateral overstrength and the collapse risk of steel buildings with perimeter special moment frames (SMFs) designed in highly seismic regions in North America. State-of-the-art analytical models that consider the contributions of t ...

The mechanical response of post-tensioned glass beams is explored in this paper. This is done through bending experiments on post-tensioned glass beam specimens with either mechanically anchored or adhesively bonded steel tendons by which a beneficial pre- ...
With the occurrence of higher and more frequent axle loads on roads, in particular bridge deck slabs are more severely solicitated by fatigue loading. To avoid heavy interventions for strengthening of deck slabs, an improved building material is used, name ...
