Tensegrities are spatial, reticulated and lightweight structures that are increasingly investigated as structural solutions for active and deployable structures. Tensegrity systems are composed only of axially loaded elements and this provides opportunitie ...
Steel-concrete composite bridges with twin-I steel girders and prefabricated slabs constitute an economical and competitive solution for small and medium bridge spans. In recent years they have started to gain their share in the construction market. Howeve ...
Strut and tie models and stress fields are methods that can be used for the dimensioning and detailing of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures as well as for the check of existing ones. This paper presents an innovative approach towards the autom ...
Verification of the computation of local quantities of interest, e.g. the displacements at a point, the stresses in a local area and the stress intensity factors at crack tips, plays an important role in improving the structural design for safety. In this ...
At present, more powerful tools for numerical modelling and structural analysis are available for the use in fatigue design and assessment of complex structures. Taking advantage of these tools, structural hot spot stress approach (SHSS) can predict the fa ...
