Abstract: In this paper, the problem of the local resistance of wood beneath a bolt connector subjected to shear is studied both in the case of load parallel to the grain and perpendicular to the grain. Two specific test methods ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the behavior of spandrels in perforated walls of existing unreinforced masonry buildings. The main results of experimental tests carried out on full-scale brick-masonry coupling beams under in-plane ...

Abstract: The paper investigates the design of continuous steel-concrete composite beams with compact cross section using the elastic analysis with limited redistribution. The permissible moment redistribution which satisfies the ...

Abstract: The research presented in this paper addresses the influence of nonstructural masonry infill on the resistance of multistory buildings to progressive collapse under sudden column loss scenarios. In particular, the structural ...
