In this work we propose using phase diagrams to explain the dynamical behaviour of simple mechanical systems. First the motion of the system x (t) is experimentally measured, and then the derivatives, v(t) and a(t), are ...
[EN] This paper presents an experimental study on the behavior of shear connectors embedded in steel-reinforced concrete joints. In steel-reinforced concrete joints, the shear connectors are commonly used to transfer ...
[EN] This paper presents an experimental study on demountable shear connectors in profiled composite slabs. Overall, three groups of push-off tests were conducted to assess the shear capacity, stiffness and ductility of ...
[EN] In steel frame structures, composite floor is an important element that plays a significant role in contributing to lateral stability. Its working role in the in-plane action is to transfer lateral loads, such as wind ...
[EN] In order to exploit the potentials in mechanical and constructional performance of steel reinforced concrete structures and prefabricated structures, three innovative kinds of partially precast steel reinforced concrete ...

The application of thin-walled cylindrical shells, as the essential structural members, has
been known for engineers and functional duty of them is basic necessaries of modern
industries. These structures are prone to ...
[EN] Drones designed for racing usually feature powerful miniaturised electronics embedded in fairly light and strong geometric composite structures. The main objective of this article is to analyse the behaviour of various ...

[EN] An important factor in the design of concrete structures is the accurate estimation of the anchorage length, because it can determine the geometrical dimensions of structural elements such as corbels, ledegd ends and ...
BARRERA PUERTO, ANGELA; Bonet Senach, José Luís; Romero, Manuel L.; Miguel Sosa, Pedro(Elsevier, 2011-12)
The use of high strength concrete (HSC) in columns has become more frequent since a substantial reduction of the cross-section is obtained, meaning that slenderness increases for the same axial load and length, producing ...
