Abstract: Local effects on the shear connection of composite girders induced by longitudinal actions such as the anchorages of prestressing cables, concrete shrinkage, or a uniform thermal action on the slab are analyzed. Closed-form ...

Abstract: Inflammation plays a key role in the development and stability of coronary plaques. Endothelial cells alter their expression in response to wall shear stress (WSS). Straight/tubular and asymmetric ...

Abstract: The paper shows the shear-lag effect in slabs of twin-girder steel–concrete composite decks due to the main prestressing techniques such as support settlements, bonded cables inside the concrete slab, and external slipping ...

Abstract: This paper presents a study on the effectiveness of various casting techniques used to control slab tensile stresses during the construction of continuous steel-concrete composite bridge decks. The main features describing ...

Abstract: The viscoelastic analysis of composite steel-concrete continuous beams, with prestressed slab and flexible shear connectors, is presented. Two prestressing systems, involving the application of prestressing forces before ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a simplified time-dependent analysis for continuous steel-concrete composite beams with flexible shear connection, subjected to static actions, settlements of the supports, shrinkage, and prestressing ...
