According to recent publications, from 2005 to 2008 there were more than 13000 terrorist attacks around the world which took more than 73000 human lives. The attacks were [...]

In our contribution we will show how the Trefftz Radial Basis Functions (TRBF), i.e. RBF satisfying the governing equations can be used to increase the efficiency of mode [...]

Civil infrastructure around the world is in a state of utter disrepair and significant efforts are needed on the part of all stakeholders to render our failing infrastruc [...]

Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) can improve not only mechanical properties but also durability due to reduced crack width by fiber bridging effect. From the view point of [...]

It is well established that most construction materials behave differently under static and dynamic loading. The stress-rate sensitivity of concrete, steel and rock has b [...]

Cracking behavior of lime mortar renders subjected to shrinkage is numerically investigated by the finite element method (FEM). The render materials selected for the stud [...]
