Optimisation of Novel Elliptically-Based Web Opening Shapes of Perforated Steel Beams [PDF]
A new study was carried out and presented herein, on the optimisation of novel elliptically-based web opening shapes which enhance the structural behaviour of the perforated beams as well as lead to economic design in terms of both manufacture and usage.

Secondary Moments due to Prestressing with Different Bond at the Ultimate Limit State
Secondary effects of prestressing develop in statically indeterminate structures (e.g., continuous beams) due to the restraint of deformations imposed by hyperstatic restraints.

An experimental study of the large deformation of plastic hinges [PDF]
Abstract Recent applications of structural plasticity to areas such as vehicle crashworthiness has led to interest in the large deformation plastic collapse of general frames. Even when displacements are comparable to the original structural dimensions, the plasticity is confined to localized regions or “hinges”.

Horizontal saddle-supported storage vessels: Theoretical and experimental comparisons of plastic collapse loads [PDF]
Previous experimental work (1) on cylindrical vessels supported at the ends and subjected to central loading indicated that different collapse mechanisms could occur when the loading is applied either through loosely fitted saddles or through welded ...

To analyze the multidimensional elastic–plastic response of the frame structure with magnetorheological (MR) dampers under strong seismic excitations, the test of the MRD was performed, the location matrix of the MRD in the frame structure was derived ...

Steel frame structures have been increasingly widely used in high-rise and multi-story building design. However, traditional rigid welded beam–column joints exhibit poor ductility and high residual stress, which are key reasons for their susceptibility ...

Experimental Study of Seismic Behavior and Modification of the Failure Region of Mechanical Bar Splices [PDF]
The problem of overcrowding at the junction of the rebars is very significant, particularly for seismic details. Due to bar length limits, splicing of reinforcing bars is unavoidable in reinforced concrete (RC) structures and may alter the overall ...

On the lumped damage modelling of reinforced concrete beams and arches
The analysis of reinforced concrete structures can be performed by means of experiments or numerical studies. The first way is usually quite expensive, so the second one sometimes is a good option to understand the physical behaviour of actual structures.

Would RC wide-beam buildings in Spain have survived Lorca earthquake (11-05-2011)? [PDF]
Lorca earthquake (11-05-2011) is most destructive event recorded in Spain, causing nine fatalities and other severe consequences. Its important intensity was rather unexpected, and serious concern arose regarding risk of building stock in Spain.
