Behaviour of Structural Concrete and Concrete Pavements
Sep 2nd
Concrete is probably the most widely used construction material in the present. It is used, for instance, in buildings, bridges, roads, offshore platforms and nuclear installations. Hence, it is quite understandable that the modelling of the concrete constitutive relations has been the subject of intensive research in the last twenty years.
Evaluation of Pavement Bearing Capacity
Jul 15th
Flexible road pavements are submitted to stresses, which are due both to vehicle loads as well as to the effects of climatic factors. The analysis of pavement behaviour, be it in the phase of design of a new road or in that of design of its rehabilitation, renders it essential for one to know the indicators of the bearing capacity of the pavement structure and subgrade.
Buckling Analysis of Tubular Beam Columns
Jun 27th
As the purpose of design in engineering is optimization, structural systems throughout the years have evolved towards high strength, slender and light structures. This trend leads not only to the immediate savings of material, but essentially to the indirect savings in fabrication, construction and service life of the structures. In rigid frame construction, columns may carry transverse loads which tend to produce bending about both axes. when using plastic design methods, wind bracing in at least one plane is an essential practice. Therefore, bracing constitutes an important element of structural design and plastic design demands adequate bracing.
