Abstract: This paper describes a new framework for the assessment of potential damage caused by tunneling-induced settlement to surface masonry buildings. Finite element models in two and three dimensions, validated through comparison ...

Abstract: This paper formulates an analytical calculation model for predicting the cracking behavior of reinforced concrete ties to provide more consistent crack width calculation methods for large-scale concrete structures in which ...

Abstract: Advanced numerical modeling of high-strength concrete (fc>60  MPa) structures designed to withstand severe thermal conditions requires detailed and reliable information on the mechanical properties of the material exposed ...
