Airworthiness certification requires proof of structure strength, which is performed generally through a building block approach. To achieve this, representative intermediate-scale experiments generated by test benches are, in general, needed, in additio...

Unreinforced masonry (URM) walls are common load-bearing structural elements in most existing buildings, consisting of masonry units (bricks) and mortar joints. They indicate a highly nonlinear and complex behaviour when subjected to combined compression...

The soil resistances along the embedded ground chain affect the pull-out capacity of anchor as they determine the magnitude and direction of tension at the padeye. To facilitate analyses, the chain was usually simplified as a cylindrical line. The chain ...

A hybrid two-phase flow solver is proposed, based on an Euler?Euler two-fluid model with continuous blending of a Volume-of-Fluid method when phase interfaces of coherent gas pockets are to be resolved. In a preceding study on a two-dimensional bladed re...
