The analysis of reinforced concrete shell structures accounting for material nonlinearity is
addressed. The structural response is numerically evaluated using a mixed shell finite …

This work presents an efficient fiber analysis for evaluating the shakedown safety factor of
three‐dimensional frames under multiple load combinations. Mixed finite elements are …

This work introduces a mathematical problem named limit fire analysis for estimating the
structural safety of 3D frames in case of fire, taking into account the stress redistribution. It is …

Damage, cracking, and strain localization mechanisms often lead to unstable structural
responses characterized by snap-backs (ie, force and displacement decrease …

This paper introduces an advanced computational method for assessing the biaxial bending
capacities of arbitrary-shaped reinforced concrete and steel–concrete composite cross …

To study the importance of post-earthquake fire events, 500 reinforced concrete (RC) frames
were designed without seismic considerations. These consist in three-bays frames with a …

The paper presents a nonlinear concentrated plasticity frame element for advanced analysis
of steel frames exposed to elevated temperatures. The element extends the formulation …

A reduced order model for the nonlinear dynamic seismic analysis of elasto‐plastic 3D
frame structures is presented. It is based on an approximated solution space for the …

Non-uniform heating in structures under fire involves the appearance of 3D-phenomena and
typically requires the use of complex models built with finite elements shell or solid. Although …
