Abstract: The paper shows the shear-lag effect in slabs of twin-girder steel–concrete composite decks due to the main prestressing techniques such as support settlements, bonded cables inside the concrete slab, and external slipping ...

Abstract: This paper presents results from the dynamic monitoring of a reinforced concrete school building located in Camerino (central Italy) during the seismic swarm following the first main shock of the Central Italy earthquake ...

Abstract: Taking into account the long-term behavior of the concrete, a model for analyzing the shear-lag effect in composite beams with flexible shear connection is proposed. By assuming the slab loss of planarity described by a ...

Abstract: The paper deals with the dynamic characterization of a reinforced concrete (RC) frame school building in central Italy before and after the seismic retrofitting, obtained by coupling the building with an innovative patented ...
