The effect of two localized axisymmetric initial imperfections on the critical load of elastic
cylindrical shells subjected to axial compression is studied through finite element
modelling. This was carried out by means ...

Mínguez Gómez, Soledad(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2020-10-15)
[ES] El presente trabajo aborda el estudio del pandeo y post-pandeo de placas y paneles rectangulares, propios de la estructura semi-monocasco predominante en los diseños aeronáuticos actuales. Se añade la influencia de ...
Portoles, J.M.; Romero, Manuel L.; Bonet Senach, José Luís; Filippou, F.C.(Elsevier, 2011-04)
The paper describes 37 tests conducted on slender circular tubular columns filled with normal and high strength concrete subjected to eccentric axial load. The test parameters were the nominal strength of concrete (30, 70 ...
Tensairity is a lightweight structural concept consisting of struts and cables stabilised by an inflated tube (Luchsinger et al. [1]). One of the latest structural developments is the
application of a fabric web inside ...
Miguel, Lucía; Monleón Cremades, Salvador(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2009-12-15)
This paper presents a hybrid folded plate-space truss model and its application to the
analysis of the structural behaviour of a steel tram viaduct in the city of Valencia (Spain).
The first part of this work deals with ...
GODOY, Luis A.(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2009-11-25)
This paper presents an overview of recent research aimed at understanding the behavior of aboveground steel tanks under wind loads, carried out by the author and by other researchers in this field. The tanks considered are ...
TOMAS, Antonio; MARTI, Pascual; TOVAR, Juan Pedro(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2009-12-23)
Depending on their geometry, supports, material and loads configuration, shells can
experience a reduction in the buckling load. If this happens, the shell is said to be sensitive to imperfections. Several approximate ...
Bendito, A.; Romero, Manuel L.; Bonet Senach, José Luís; Miguel Sosa, Pedro; Fernández Prada, Miguel Ángel(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009-09)
[EN] This paper proposes a new equation for the effective length factor k-factor for reinforced concrete columns in braced frames.
The new formula is valid both for normal and high-strength concrete. The equation was ...
Portoles Flaj, José Manuel; Serra Mercé, Enrique; Romero, Manuel L.(Elsevier, 2013-07)
This paper describes 24 tests conducted on slender circular tubular columns filled with normal, high, and ultra-high strength concrete for plain, bar reinforced and steel fiber reinforced columns. These were reinforced and ...
[EN] A thorough analysis of slender columns under axial force and bending moment requires second order effects assessment. Concrete s creep is one of the factors that increase lateral displacements of the bar in the long ...
The rail network in Spain is around 16.000 km of Iberian, standard and narrow gauge, connecting the main population cities and hubs of transport. Due to its geographical location in southern Europe, during the summer months ...
[EN] Mild steel hot-rolled sections are commonly prismatic because of the rolling process with a furnace, but welded sections made from steel plates do not have such a constraint, especially when robotic welding machines ...
ROTTER, J. Michael(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2009-11-25)
Silos and tanks are probably the commonest form of large engineering shell structure in
service, but their placement on industrial sites and out of the public eye often leads them to be neglected by researchers and the ...
Portoles Flaj, José Manuel; Romero, Manuel L.; Filippou, Filip C.; Bonet Senach, José Luís(Elsevier, 2011-05)
This paper proposes an efficient numerical model for the simulation of the behavior of slender circular
concrete-filled tubular columns subjected to eccentric axial load with single curvature, for the cases of
both normal ...
VANLAERE, Wesley; DOERICH, Cornelia; LAGAE, Guy; VAN IMPE, Rudy(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2009-12-11)
The main part of a traditional silo is the cylindrical shell placed upon a limited number of
support columns in order to facilitate emptying operations. These local supports lead to
stress concentrations in the cylinder ...
