This paper presents an optimal design procedure for a pendulum tuned mass damper
(PTMD) to mitigate the global structural vibrations of offshore wind turbines (OWTs) in the …

The paper presents the results of flexural and shear tests up to failure on full-scale hollow-
core slabs (HCS) having a depth of 500 mm. A detailed non-linear 2D finite element model …

The shear strength of precast prestressed hollow core (PPHC) slabs is numerically
assessed for 200, 265, 320, 370, 400 and 500 mm thick units, the cross-sections of which …

Prestressed hollow core slabs are a concrete element widely used as construction floor
product, which manufacturing process has greatly been improved in recent years. Several …

This research investigate the behavior of reinforced normal and lightweight aggregate
concrete hollow core slabs with different core shapes, shear span to effective depth (a/d) …

Abstract Der Einsatz von Hohlkörpern in Stahlbetonplatten leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag
zur Reduktion der Treibhausgasemissionen im Bauwesen. Während sich die …

The seismic analysis of long-span cable suspended bridges is undoubtedly a problem in
structural analysis that involves a high number of uncertain parameters. In this work, through …

The attack of environmental aggressive agents progressively reduces the structural
reliability of buildings and infrastructures and, in the worst exposition conditions, may even …

The construction of multi-story buildings is a complex process that requires careful
consideration of time and safety. This research study aims to optimize the reinforced …

This paper focuses on the application of ground penetrating radar (GPR) technique for civil
engineering purposes, addressing the issues related to wave polarisation and antennas …
