This paper studies the lateral behavior of a reinforced concrete tessellated structural-
architectural (TeSA) shear wall system. TeSA walls are made of prefabricated repetitive tiles …

This study was carried out to assess the punching shear behavior of flat slabs considering
the use of various column shapes such as L, T, and Cruciform as support. The flat slab floor …

Surrounding rock deformation and consequent support failure are the most prominent issues
in red-bed rock tunnel engineering and are mainly caused by the effects of unloading …

Several studies investigated the precision of non-linear finite element analyses (NLFEA) to
predict the shear capacity of beams or the punching capacity of slab-column connections …

Different tests and calculation methods for determining the punching shear of flat slabs are
based on symmetrical punching shear. However, in practical engineering, most flat slabs are …

Experimental and numerical studies on shear behaviour of macro synthetic fibre reinforced
prestressed concrete (MSFRPC) beams are presented. MSFRPC beams are tested at a …

A thorough understanding of the evolution of strain and damage accumulation is a
prerequisite for effective control of the surrounding rock to ensure good stability and better …

The paper is focused on the calibration of non-linear 3D finite element (FE) analyses to
simulate punching failure of R/C flat slabs. The calibration procedure is developed with …

This study investigated the structural response of timber-plain concrete panels bonded with
epoxy and PUR adhesives under a four-point bending load, both experimentally and …

The study was devoted to the numerical modelling of concrete-to-concrete interfaces. Such
an interface can be found in many modern composite structures, so proper characterisation …
