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: Because of the negative environmental and social impacts of built environment activities, several rating systems were developed in the last two decades to help professionals evaluate the sustainability of their design and ...

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: s the U.S. polar-orbiting satellites NOAA-15, -18, and -19 and NASA?s Aqua satellite reach the ends of their lives, there may be a loss in redundancy between their microwave (MW) soundings, and the Advanced Technology ...

Abstract: Although extensive research has investigated how the built environment near people’s homes and work places influence automobile travel behavior, little is known about how commuting routes affect travel outcomes. This article ...
