The automation of the visual detection of structural elements and cracks have the potential in the future to greatly improve the post-earthquake safety evaluation of buildings in terms of time and accuracy. In addition, models could be combined with these ...
Capacity-designed steel moment-resisting frames (MRFs) dissipate the seismic action through inelastic flexural yielding of protected zones located at the beam ends and the first story column bottom end. During low-probability of occurrence seismic events, ...
The objective of this work concerns the analysis and design of an existing deep beam with a high thickness in reinforced concrete, according to the standards defined in the Eurocode. The structure is inserted in a hydroelectric plant in the Alentejo region ...
Located at the shore of Geneva Lake, in Switzerland, the Chillon viaducts are two parallel structures consisted of post-tensioned concrete box girders, with a total length of 2 kilometers and 100m spans. Built in 1969, the bridges currently accommodate a t ...
The punching shear resistance formulation provided by Model Code 2010 is calibrated on the basis of experimental tests on isolated slabs supported on columns. According to Level of Approximation approach, several quantities are required for the design punc ...
Punching shear failures of structural concrete members have been the focus of attention of numerous works presented over the last decades. Although various rational approaches have been developed to predict these failures, there is still no unanimity on a ...
The fatigue safety of the reinforced concrete deck slab of a sixty-year-old steel-concrete road viaduct as well as the riveted steel girders of a 130 year old railway bridge was questioned based on the results of conventional assessment consisting in "re-c ...
Proper test and analysis methods are necessary for characterizing the tensile behavior of strain hardening Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites (UHPFRC) accurately and representatively. In this paper, the direct tensile tests (DT ...
Aging bridges of the German federal road network often cannot be rehabilitated or replaced timely due to insufficient funding and complex regulations of building laws. Consequently, novel building materials and alternative solutions get the opportunity to ...
The influence of the level of deformation of the flexural reinforcement on the punching strength is well-established and mechanically founded since the pioneer works of Kinnunen and Nylander in the 1960’s. In code provisions, this influence is sometimes re ...
