Dynamic behaviour of reinforced-concrete bridges in freezing conditions

Plotnikova, A.; Wotherspoon, L. (2019-04-04)

The strong influence of ambient temperature variation, and especially freezing of near-surface soils, on the transverse modal response of the bridges in cold earthquake-prone regions has been shown in previous research. ...
FEM prediction of failure mechanisms in RC structural walls: parametric investigation

Dashti, F.; Dhakal, R. P.; Pampanin, S. (2019-04-04)

This study investigates the ability of a microscopic (finite element) model based on curved shell element formulation in predicting nonlinear behavior of planar RC structural walls, identifying the strengths and limitations ...
