In the case of prestressed concrete structures, information about the actual state of
prestressing is an important basis for determining their load-carrying capacity as well as …

This study focuses on numerical finite element modelling of the global mechanical
behaviour of circular hollow section columns with steel fibre-reinforced concrete infill at …

RESUMO A maioria dos materiais estruturais de Construção Civil tem suas propriedades
mecânicas reduzidas, quando submetidos a temperaturas elevadas. Por isso, a capacidade …

A numerical analysis of the limit state for solids, with an adequately described structural
geometry, is often a computationally demanding task, and there is a need for an effective …

Non-engineered buildings (NEBs) are prone to earthquake damage. One type of damage
that often occurs in NEBs is the separation of beam and column elements owing to joint …

Complex triaxial stress states are present in many reinforced concrete structures. These
structures are often analyzed using simple hand calculations based on methods designed …

The use of near-surface mounted (NSM) carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) is a
promising technique for strengthening deficient reinforced concrete members. In order to …

The use of composite materials is an effective technique to enhance the capacity of
reinforced concrete columns subjected to the seismic loading due to their high tensile …

Although many numerical investigations are available on external strengthening of
reinforced concrete columns using fiber-reinforced polymer jackets, there are few numerical …

The paper presents the results of experimental investigations and numerical analyses
performed on reinforced concrete flat slabs. Two tests were carried out on two flat slab …
