A theoretical analysis using three wellknown masonry analysis constitutive models is performed on a masonry structure to simulate the response of the structure to specific seismic forces. The results of the three ...

[EN] Headed studs are often used to facilitate composite actions between steel and concrete structures. In steel building structures, reinforced concrete walls are commonly used to ensure composite action to stiffen steel ...

The purpose of this paper is to present a proposal for the design of steel structures sensitive to buckling due to compression in order to fill in the gaps in the current Standard EN 1993-1-1 guidelines for obtaining the ...

[ES] Es una práctica extendida en el diseño de obras de edificación el empleo en los pórticos de marcos de hormigón armado con tabiquería de obra de fábrica. Estos últimos elementos no se tienen en cuenta, habitualmente, ...

[EN] Experimental tests on masonry infilled reinforced scaled concrete frames with the aim of studying the more important factors that take over the behaviour in the relationship between the structure and the infill, as ...

[EN] Reinforced concrete frames filled with masonry are a type of construction spread throughout the world. In general, masonry has been an element considered as non-structural. Although it participates in the resistance ...

[EN] A novel seismic isolator is presented to detach the structural behavior from the infill effect during earth movements, with the aim of avoiding strong interactions. An experimental campaign was carried out to determine ...

Earthquakes continue to shatter buildings and the people inside them. Jose Adam and Francisco Pallarés of Universitat Politècnica de València report on recent trends in seismic strengthening of building structures.

[EN] The building of masonry bell towers was customary in Europe until the beginning of the twentieth century. At the present time, most of the work carried out on these structures involves either conservation or rehabilitation, ...

[EN] Beam-column joints suffer intense damage from seismic events and are the cause of many buildings collapsing. These zones present complex behaviour under cyclic loads, including tensile-compression cycles, which make ...
