Vargas, Daniel (author), Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), Genikomsou, Aikaterini S. (author)Eccentric punching shear can occur in concrete slab–column connections when the connection is subjected to shear and unbalanced moments. Unbalanced moments occur in all floor slabs at the edge and corner columns. As such, this problem is of practical relevance. However, most punching experiments in the literature deal with concentric punching...journal article 2022

Bueno Perez, M.R. (author), Bidarra, Rafael (author)Several datasets of stories and text have been proven useful for a variety of research fields. Yet, many of these datasets have suffered from the burden of being manually authored and/or annotated, affecting their size and potential to grow. To overcome this problem, we propose a novel database of stories collected from TaleMaker, an online...conference paper 2022
