Abstract: Closed-for solutions are presented for bending beams with linearly and (in the binomial form) parabolically varying depth and for bending beams with linearly varying width. The solutions are achieved by transforming the ...

Abstract: The paper presents the analytical solution to the system of differential equations governing behavior of reinforcing‐bar anchorage under generalized excitations. The solution uses a bilinear model for steel and assumes a ...

Abstract: The analytical solutions for the deflections and for the critical load over which structural prismatic masonry collapses without reaching the compressive strength are presented. The analysis is developed by assuming that ...

Abstract: The collapse of reinforced concrete structural elements subjected to compression is linked to the instability of the reinforcement bars. This phenomenon may occur in the longitudinal region between two consecutive hoops, ...

Abstract: Analytical solutions are presented for deflections beyond the elastic limit for prismatic and nonprismatic beams (beams with linearly varying depth) restrained and loaded in any way. The analytical solutions provide by ...

Abstract: The stability condition of masonry walls subjected to seismic transverse forces is investigated by translating the problem into the analysis of a fixed–free ended prismatic column undergoing static horizontal forces ...
