RISStructural Analysis, Retrofitting Design, and In Situ Control of Permanently Damaged Long-Span Timber Beams of a Historical Building in the South of Italy
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In 2018, under service conditions, excessive deflections were observed in the long-span timber beams of the first floor of the former Saint Elisabeth Monastery in Palermo (Italy). The building was constructed in the sixteenth ...
Retrofit of External Beam-Column Concrete Joints with Diagonally Crossed Reinforcement: Experimental and Analytical Investigations
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Experimental research was carried out regarding the flexural behavior under cyclic reversal loading of six full-scale external beam-column concrete joints cast with plain concrete in the presence of shear reinforcements ...
Simplified Model of PC Concrete Beams with Corroded Strands in Highway Viaduct: Case Study and Analytical Modeling
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this paper, several cases of failure of prestressed reinforced concrete (PC) beams of a viaduct in Italy due to cable corrosion are presented. Therefore, a simplified model to determine the flexural response of corroded ...
Robustness Requirements for the Design of Plane Frames
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: As part of a safe design, which guarantees the stability of the structures against exceptional events and mistakes in the design or construction phase of the manufacture, it is necessary to study the robustness of structures. ...
External Reinforced Concrete Beam-Column Joints: Experimental Investigation, Analytical Prediction, and Simple Design Suggestions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Experimental research was carried out regarding the flexural behavior of three full-scale external beam-column concrete joints cast with plain concrete in the presence of shear reinforcements in the joint regions constituted ...
Shear Strength of RC Beams without and with Stirrups: Analytical Expressions and Comparison with Experimental Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, some recent analytical expressions including those of codes for shear strength calculation of reinforced concrete (RC) beams without and with stirrups are discussed and verified against experimental data ...
Simple Analytical Procedure for Hand Calculation for the Push-Down Curve of RC Buildings with Lost Column on the First Floor
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The goal of this research was the analytical determination in a closed form of the linearized push-down curves of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings subjected to instantaneous lost of a column at the first floor. The ...
Simplified Flexural Response of Steel Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the present paper, an analytical model is proposed that is able to determine the flexural response of supported beams under four-point bending tests. Cases of normal strength reinforced concrete beams with longitudinal ...
Flexural Behavior of Glass Beams with T and I Shape Cross Sections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Glass beams having T or I cross sections can be obtained as glass panels or laminated glass (LG) panels assembled with polymer adhesives of different types, such as semirigid (silicones, modified silicones, and polyurethanes) ...
Performance of Steel Fibrous Reinforced Concrete Corbels Subjected to Vertical and Horizontal Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A softened strut-and-tie macromodel able to reproduce the flexural behavior of corbels in plain and fibrous concrete and with the presence of steel bars, including softening of compressed struts and yielding of main and ...
