TRC improved flexural capacity of an aged cracked bridge slab-beam
Study on carbon textile-reinforced concrete strengthening of aged bridge slabs shows 24.8% capacity increase and effective crack control under sustained service loads.
Cracks do not always mean stone vault failure
Methodology for evaluating load-bearing capacity of cracked cylindrical stone vaults through experimental interaction dependencies between bending moments and axial forces.
BIM data model proposed for tension-supporting geotechnical elements
Novel BIM data model for tension-based ground reinforcement integrates design, installation, inspection, and maintenance phases with defined LOD requirements and IFC compatibility.
Validated single-strut model captures infilled RC frame seismic behavior
Advanced single-strut modeling framework for masonry-infilled RC frames with lightweight infills. Validates material-specific nonlinear hinges for seismic performance assessment with 10% accuracy.
AAC infill improved ductility more than clay infill
Experimental and numerical investigation of RC frames infilled with clay masonry versus autoclaved aerated concrete under cyclic loading, with macromodeling validation.
Updated finite element model matched footbridge vibrations more closely
—
in EngineeringModel updating of a laboratory footbridge combining spliced girders and composite deck panels using experimental modal analysis and sensitivity-driven optimisation.
Thrust line methods for masonry arches and compressive strength
Historical development and recent advances in thrust line method for masonry arches, incorporating compressive strength in limit analysis formulations.
Masonry buildings showed recurring earthquake damage patterns
Study of masonry building damage from Turkish earthquakes reveals critical failure patterns including out-of-plane wall collapse, poor connections, and material deficiencies. Findings support.
Rubber-stiffened steel plates showed delamination as the main failure mode
Study on rubber-stiffened steel plates and rapid-hardening concrete for sustainable bridge expansion joints, examining static performance, failure mechanisms, and design parameters for jointless.
