A new methodology is presented for the ultimate strength and moment–curvature analysis of
arbitrary composite sections under biaxial bending and axial load. The definition of section …

A new incremental-iterative procedure based on the arc-length constraint equation is
proposed in order to determine both interaction diagrams and moment capacity contours for …

Capacity domains of reinforced concrete elements, computed according to Eurocode 2
provisions, have been investigated from a probabilistic perspective in order to examine the …

The numerical models for simulating the seismic response of a frame member are generally
classified into two categories according to the nonlinearity distribution in the element …

We outline a general approach for extending the classical Boussinesq's solution to the case
of pressures distributed according to a polynomial law of arbitrary order over a polygonal …

In this work, the dynamical behavior of a pantographic sheet undergoing sinusoidal (in time)
imposed displacement is numerically investigated. The used model has been largely …

The design of reinforced concrete sections of arbitrary shape, namely with variable
geometry, holes as well as with arbitrary distribution of reinforcing steel bars, is a very …

We present the preliminary results of a novel approach to the state determination of
polygonal sections of arbitrary shape endowed with elasto-plastic uniaxial constitutive laws …

In this work an automatic procedure for evaluating the axial force-biaxial bending yield
surface of reinforced concrete sections in fire is proposed. It provides an accurate time …

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 …
