This paper presents the case study of a detailed analysis of the failure of an external clay brick wall that had been built in 1995. The failure involved the collapse of a considerable part of the outer wall as well as ...
[EN] Lattice and porous structures have attracted attention in scientific literature due to the development of 3D printers that facilitate their manufacturing. A thorough understanding of the mechanical behaviour of these ...

[EN] Background and Objective: Hip fracture morphology is an important factor determining the ulterior surgical repair and treatment, because of the dependence of the treatment on fracture morphology. Although numerical ...
This paper analyses the influence of temperature changes on load transmission between floor slabs and shores during the in situ casting of concrete slabs by the shoring-clearing-striking method. Therefore several experimental ...
