The performance of timber structures is governed by the nonlinear response at their
connections, where high deformation levels and stress concentrations are developed …

This paper presents an experimental and numerical study on the behaviour of timber beam-
to-steel column connections under cyclic loads. Special attention is given to the …

Damage and failure in quasi-brittle materials such as rocks, concrete, and ceramics, have a
complex non-linear behavior due to their heterogeneous character and the development of …

The prestress loss is one of the main factors affecting the safety of prestressed concrete
structure. While the detecting signals like sound and light are difficult to spread in steel …

This paper describes an experimental characterisation and a non-local finite element
analysis on the influence of the testing temperature on the mechanical properties and …

O Método dos Elementos de Contorno (MEC), associado com a abordagem contınua para
descontinuidades fortes, tem se mostrado uma alternativa bem sucedida na análise de …

In this work, a 3D visco-elasto-plastic damage model is developed to describe the creep and
fatigue failure mechanism of plain concrete. The physical micro-structural degradation due …

La mecánica del daño continuo describe el deterioro progresivo de las propiedades
