No engineering structure can be built on the ground or within it without the influence of
geology being experienced by the engineer. Yet geology is an ancillary subject to students …

In this paper new advances in the application of 'Theory of Plastic Mechanism
Control'(TPMC) are presented. TPMC is aimed at the design of structures assuring a …

A new method for designing moment resisting steel frames failing in a global mode is
presented in this paper. Starting from the analysis of the typical collapse mechanisms of …

This conference is the first in a series of conferences dedicated to Fracture Mechanics of
Concrete Structures. Due to the recent explosion of interest in research on fracture in …

In this paper, the closed form solution of the Theory of Plastic Mechanism Control (TPMC) is
extended to the case of Moment Resisting Frames–Eccentrically Braced Frames (MRF–EBF) …

A design methodology aiming at the development of a collapse mechanism of a global type
for eccentrically braced frames is presented in this paper. This result is of primary …
