Furthering knowledge on the flow pattern around high-rise buildings: LES investigation of the wind energy potential
(Elsevier, 2022)
To understand the favourable locations for maximum yield of urban wind energy, understanding the flow pattern on the roof region of high-rise buildings is crucial. However, very few studies in the literature report on the ...
Rotation-free isogeometric dynamic analysis of an arbitrarily curved plane Bernoulli-Euler beam
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019)
A novel rotation-free isogeometric formulation of in-plane dynamic analysis of an arbitrarily curved Bernoulli-Euler beam in the convective frame of reference is presented. The driving force behind the present study has ...
Innovative decoupling system for the seismic protection of masonry infill walls in reinforced concrete frames
(Elsevier, 2019)
Reinforced concrete frame structures with masonry infills often exhibit serious damage after earthquake events, as the infills are generally installed without additional constructive measures in contact to the reinforced ...
Object-oriented framework for 3D bending and free vibration analysis of multilayer plates: Application to cross-laminated timber and soft-core sandwich panels
(Elsevier, 2021)
In the paper, the main steps involved in the development of an object-oriented computational framework for the 3D bending and free vibration analysis of multilayer plates are presented. The mathematical formulation for ...
Three-dimensional stress analysis and design of cross-laminated timber panels using full-layerwise-theory-based finite element method
(Elsevier, 2020)
Cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels have an increasing market share and extensive application in civil engineering, as full size walls or light floor structures. Due to their low environmental impact, excellent thermal ...
Unfavorable geometric imperfections in steel plate girders subjected to localized loads
(Elsevier, 2021)
Recent experimental studies have shown that the current EN1993-1-5 patch loading resistance model underestimates the ultimate strength of steel plate girders in certain cases, especially for longitudinally stiffened steel ...
Experimental testing of decoupled masonry infills with steel anchors for out-of-plane support under combined in-plane and out-of-plane seismic loading
(Construction and Building Materials, 2022)
Because of simple construction process, high energy efficiency, significant fire resistance and excellent sound isolation, masonry infilled reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures are very popular in most of the countries ...
Influence of slab deflection on the out-of-plane capacity of unreinforced masonry partition walls
(Engineering Structures, 2023)
Severe damage of non-structural elements is noticed in previous earthquakes, causing high economic losses and posing a life threat for the people. Masonry partition walls are one of the most commonly used non-structural ...
Dynamic response of three-dimensional rigid and flexible foundations on layered soils with local inhomogeneities
(Elsevier, 2022)
The dynamic response of rigid and flexible three-dimensional (3D) foundations of arbitrary shape, placed on a homogeneous or layered halfspace, which may contain a finite, longitudinally invariant structure or inhomogeneity, ...
Influence of patch load length on strengthening effect in steel plate girders
(Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 2022)
The present paper aims to numerically investigate the influence of patch load length related to various geometric parameters on the patch loading resistance of steel plate girders. Geometric parameters such as the web ...
