Abstract: An analytical model for the nonlinear dynamic behavior of unreinforced masonry walls subjected to out-of-plane loading is developed. The formulation is based on variational principles, dynamic equilibrium conditions, and ...

Abstract: The dynamic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with externally bonded composite materials is analytically investigated. The analytical model is based on dynamic equilibrium, compatibility of deformations ...

Abstract: A theoretical approach for the dynamic viscoelastic response of reinforced concrete (RC) beams and one-way slabs strengthened with adhesively bonded composite materials is developed. The analytical model is based on ...

Abstract: Experimental results are presented concerning the boundary shear stress and boundary shear force distributions in a compound section comprising of one rectangular main channel and two symmetrically disposed flood plains. ...

Abstract: The results of some experiments are reported concerning the boundary shear stress and boundary shear force distributions in a smooth channel of rectangular cross section. An empirically derived equation is presented which ...
