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 ...
An efficient model for 3D analysis of steel frames exposed to fire
(Elsevier, 2024)
The paper presents a nonlinear concentrated plasticity frame element for advanced analysis of steel frames exposed to elevated temperatures. The element extends the formulation based on the generalized plasticity material ...
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 ...
LES study on the urban wind energy resources above the roof of buildings in generic cluster arrangements: Impact of building position
(Elsevier, 2023)
Urbanisation brought an increasing prevalence of groups of high-rise buildings and raised new questions about their impact on local wind flow conditions and the wind energy harvesting potential. The focus of this study is ...
Experimental results of reinforced concrete frames with masonry infills with and without openings under combined quasi‑static in‑plane and out‑of‑plane seismic loading
(Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2023)
Reinforced concrete (RC) frames with masonry infills can be encountered all over the world, especially in earthquake prone regions. Although masonry infills are usually not considered in the design process, in the case of ...
Influence of inter-panel connections on vibration response of CLT floors due to pedestrian-induced loading
(Engineering Structures, 2023)
Long-span cross-laminated timber (CLT) floors are typically an assembly of prefabricated CLT panels connected together on the site. The actual connections are commonly neglected in design calculations. Hence, a CLT floor ...
Flat slab response for seismic and cyclic actions prediction with numerical models
(Engineering Structures, 2023)
As an outcome of a recent European research project, the modelling of the response of flat slab structures for seismic and cyclic loading was the object of a blind competition. No other blind tests are available in the ...
Performance of RC cast-in-place buildings during the November 26, 2019 Albania earthquake
(Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2022)
This paper documents performance of cast-in-place reinforced concrete (RC) buildings in the Durrës municipality during Albania earthquake of November 26, 2019 (MW 6.4). Both mid- and high-rise RC buildings were affected ...
Shake‑table testing of a stone masonry building aggregate: overview of blind prediction study
(Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2023)
City centres of Europe are often composed of unreinforced masonry structural aggregates, whose seismic response is challenging to predict. To advance the state of the art on the seismic response of these aggregates, the ...
Numerical analysis of the in-plane behaviour of decoupled masonry infilled RC frames
(Engineering Structures, 2022)
Damage of reinforced concrete (RC) frames with masonry infill walls has been observed after many earthquakes. Brittle behaviour of the masonry infills in combination with the ductile behaviour of the RC frames makes infill ...
