Abstract: Over the last few decades, a significant effort has been made to achieve accurate evaluation of the resistance of RC elements subjected to pure shear or combined internal forces including shear. Regarding the latter, ...

Abstract: In current engineering practice, safety checks on serviceability and determinations of ultimate limit states of segmental bridges built by cantilevering are generally performed, either considering separately the contributions ...

Abstract: The performance of a prestressed concrete beam, subjected to bending moment

Abstract: A simple physical model, for prediction of ultimate shear strength of steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams is developed on the basis of a plastic approach originally proposed for reinforced concrete beams without ...

Abstract: This paper presents a two-dimensional model to describe the gas flow in an integrated reactor, developed at the CNR-ITAE Institute, and aimed to design a βeta5kWe hydrogen generator, named HYGen ...

Abstract: In this paper, a study about stay stressing procedures of concrete arch bridges built by cantilevering with temporary stays is presented. Particularly, the partial elastic scheme method is proposed to find the initial cable ...

Abstract: The load-carrying capacity of slender reinforced concrete piers depends on the horizontal retaining forces exerted by the bridge deck. The magnitude of these forces is a function of the behavior of the restraints connecting ...
