Historical masonry arch bridges are an integral part of our cultural heritage and deserve the attention and the efforts required to safeguard their patrimonial value. There is currently a diverse range of methods available to engineers for evaluating the l ...
We present results from a numerical investigation of the coiling patterns obtained when a slender elastic rod is deployed onto a moving substrate. The Discrete Elastic Rods method is employed to explore the parameter space, construct phase diagrams, identi ...
The overall aim of the authors' work is to create a computer aid to support the macroplanning of five-axis parts, and in this context this paper presents the methodology developed to enable the determination of set-up orientations on five-axis machine-tool ...
The present work investigates an innovative class of timber structure with potential applications in roofing, facade and bridge construction, called Timberfabric. The development of Timberfabric structures originates from the approach of harnessing the str ...
The work and findings reported in the paper are interesting to the discussers and will advance the understanding of the shear-failure mechanism of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Some details need further discussion and clarification. In many cases, shear ...
Ultra-High Performance Fibre-Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) is a material characterised by significantly improved mechanical and durability properties compared to other concretes. In recent years, an important research effort has been made to identify approp ...
In this paper we study the dynamic behavior of an isotropic Kirchhoff- Love beam and investigate the equilibrium position of an Euler-Bernoulli beam. Using the discrete Euler-Lagrange and Lagrange-d’Alembert principles, we simulate the behavior by means of ...
The latest trends in contemporary architecture are fully transparent pavilions: a single storey building free of any steel or concrete frame, where glass panels are used as unique vertical structural elements to support the roof and as wind bracing to stab ...
We present a theoretical and numerical framework to compute bifurcations of equilibria and stability of slender elastic rods. The 3D kinematics of the rod is treated in a geometrically exact way by parameterizing the position of the centerline and making u ...
The present research represents a theoretical and experimental contribution to the understanding of the structural behaviour of elements made of ultra-high performance fibre-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC). UHPFRC is investigated as an advanced cementitious m ...
