Structural components used in civil engineering applications are often subjected to compressive loads. Unlike the tensile strength of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials, their compressive strength is resin-dominated, exhibiting lower values and more ...
Geometrical domains characterising the degrees of freedom of a structural system within the context of Maxwell’s reciprocal representation of force and geometry are likely to provide indicators of the constitutive elements of structural robustness. Structu ...
The safety of buildings which have been affected by a natural disaster such as an earthquake is currently evaluated manually by certified inspectors who identify visible damage on the structural elements. This process has been proven to be time-consuming, ...
The approach proposed here is linked to Maxwell’s reciprocal representation of force and geometry for structural modelling. It is based on the approach of Fivet & Zastavni [2014] of modelling interactive constraint-based structural equilibriums in which ge ...
Examining the results of a large set of quasi-static cyclic tests on unreinforced masonry (URM) walls showed that the drift capacity of URM walls reduces with increasing wall size. Such a size effect is of concern since most wall tests were carried out on ...
RC slabs without shear reinforcement subjected to c oncentrated loads near lin ear supports are typical cases of deck slabs of bridges, transfer slabs or pile caps. Such elements are often designed or as sessed in shear with code provisions calibrated on ...

Assessing the strength of existing structures has become a major issue for structural engineers. Such analyses are often performed after changes of use of the structure or due to new design codes requirements. This is particularly relevant with respect to ...
The paper addresses the practical implementation of active vibration control using self-sensing actuators, intending to equip smart structures. The control objective is to reduce the structural vibration of a simply-supported plate subject to time-harmonic ...
A probabilistic approach is necessary to estimate the magnitude of the braking force that compares in terms of return period with the vertical traffic loads present in bridge design codes. A data set from a Danish Field Operational Test served as support t ...
In the present paper the experimental results of in-plane shear tests on masonry walls subject to cyclic loads under constant axial load and externally strengthened with composite grid embedded in a cementitious matrix are synthetized. The experimental res ...
