Numerical dynamic characterisation of concrete bridge stays
Abstract Following the recent collapse of a cable‐stayed bridge in Genoa, Italy, an interest has arisen to understand if it would have been possible for unknown localised material deterioration and/or decrease in prestress levels to introduce noticeable changes in the dynamic behaviour of RC stays.

Three‐dimensional testing of fasteners
Abstract Experimental results of tests to investigate the load‐bearing behavior of anchor channels embedded in concrete and subjected to loads in three‐dimensional (3D) interaction are presented. For testing, a variably adjustable rig is introduced in which arbitrary 3D loads are applied with just one hydraulic cylinder.

A review of progressive collapse research and regulations [PDF]
History has demonstrated that buildings designed to conventional design codes can lack the robustness necessary to withstand localised damage, partial or even complete collapse. This variable performance has led governmental organisations to seek ways of

Study on collapse mechanism of steel frame with CFST-columns under column-removal scenario [PDF]
The design of structure against progressive collapse has tended towards more quantitative design where utilizing catenary action becomes essential. In this paper, a single internal column removal test was conducted for a 1/3 scale 4-bay steel frame with ...

Dynamic analysis using finite elements to calculate the critical wear section of the contact wire in suburban railway overhead conductor rails [PDF]
The purpose of this study is to determine the critical wear levels of the contact wire of the catenary on metropolitan lines. The study has focussed on the zones of contact wire where localised wear is produced, normally associated with the appearance of
