Abstract: This paper presents a computational approach for the assessment of masonry structures based on the well known analogy between the equilibrium of arches and that of hanging strings or cables working in tension. According ...

Abstract: A numerical model for the analysis of the geometric and material nonlinearities of plate and thin shell steel structures, based on the finite element method, is presented together with its application to some practical ...

Abstract: A general step-by-step model for the nonlinear and time-dependent analysis of reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete, and composite steel-concrete planar frame structures is presented. The model can simulate segmental ...
