The shear behaviour of concrete has been widely studied in the field of structural engineering, yet it is still considered an unresolved issue. In one hand, the design co [...]

This research work proposes the development of a simplified method for simulated design of existing reinforced concrete (RC) motor-way bridges. Given the fragmentary avai [...]

A numerical procedure for modeling beam and/or column shear failures in RC infilled frames is presented. The main novelty relies in the use of inelastic fiber-based frame [...]

This paper presents a new approach for modeling the tensile cyclic response of reinforced concrete (RC) subjected to biaxial stress conditions. The model is based on equi [...]

This research aims to obtain envelopes of the ductility and shear demands in reinforced concrete (RC) wall buildings subjected to ground motions. These envelopes could be [...]

Aim of this research is the development and the calibration of a mathematical model for simulating the response of a large-scale uniaxial shaking table facility. The syst [...]

Most of the Italian school buildings were not designed according to seismic criteria and, therefore, they are vulnerable from a seismic point of view. A clear proof of th [...]

Fibre beam-column elements thus far proved to be very accurate in the simulation of flexure dominated behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) frames. However, when the shea [...]
