Nonlinear structural analysis as an assessment tool for existing concrete structures

Performance Modelling of Timber Facade Elements

Windows and doors are essential elements of buildings. These seemingly simple components have become increasingly complex over the last decades. They have to fulfil an increased number of functions which ask for contradictory solutions and need to comply with more and more severe requirements. Windows and doors need to be transparent to allow...

Shear assessment of reinforced concrete slab bridges

The capacity of reinforced concrete solid slab bridges in shear is assessed by comparing the design beam shear resistance to the design value of the applied shear force due to the permanent actions and live loads. Results from experiments on half-scale continuous slab bridges are used to develop a set of recommendations for the assessment of...
