Abstract: The stability condition of cantilevered masonry piers subjected to their own weight and to a concentrated compressive top load is investigated, considering no-tension material with nonlinear stress-strain law in compression, ...

Abstract: The response of reinforced concrete members under uniaxial tension is investigated by an analysis model alternative to that based on the usual discretization of concrete and steel into tridimensional axisymmetric finite ...

Abstract: The stability of masonry piers subjected to their own weight and to eccentric compressive force at the top is analyzed. Prismatic fixed free‐ended columns are examined, considering no tension material having linear behavior ...

Abstract: The dynamic response of eccentric buildings under harmonic ground motion in a large‐displacement field is analyzed. In examining one‐story elastic systems, two effects of nonlinearity for the resisting elements are considered: ...

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 ...

Abstract: The effectiveness of external wrapping with fiber-reinforced polymer for enhancing the curvature ductility of lightly reinforced concrete members is investigated. Referring to members with circular transverse cross sections, ...
