This study addresses the vital issue of the variability associated with modeling decisions in dam seismic analysis. Traditionally, structural modeling and simulations employ a progressive approach, where more complex models are gradually incorporated. Fo...

In addition to traditional building materials, such as steel and concrete, wood has been gaining increasing prominence in recent years. In the past, the use of wood was limited due to its susceptibility to damage by fungi, insects, and temperature. These...

The article presents experimental tests carried out to investigate the effect of crack width (0.4, 0.8, 1.5, and 3.0 mm) on the behavior of anchor bolts under static and dynamic loading. Ultimate loads for anchors reached 220 kN depending on the anchor t...

Concrete dams are massive unreinforced quasi-brittle structures prone to cracking from multiple causes. The structural safety assessment of cracked concrete dams is typically performed using computational analysis through numerical methods, with adequate...

Several stress-strain models were used to predict the strengths of steel fiber reinforced concrete, which are distinctive of the material. However, insufficient research has been done on the influence of hybrid fiber combinations (comprising two or more ...

In this paper, 3D finite element simulations were conducted for lap-spliced ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) beams using ABAQUS software. Based on the concrete damaged plasticity (CDP) model, the plastic damage factor was introduced to simulate the...

Sometimes it is difficult to choose the most appropriate failure criterion for the problem analyzed. For brittle materials, attention must be paid to the availability of experimental data and the calibration of the representative parameters, within the c...

The ductility and strength of reinforced concrete (RC) columns could be noticeably improved by replacing steel bars with polymeric bars. Despite the previous research on RC columns, most of those studies focused only on the lateral load capacity of this ...

Throughout the last few decades, the scientific community has paid great attention to the structural safety of historical masonry constructions, which have high vulnerability with respect to seismic activities. Masonry towers are very widespread in Italy...

Finite element analysis (FEA) is widely adopted these days to investigate relatively heavy structures such as reinforced concrete (RC) deep beam, which requires a higher investment of resources. This research aims to investigate a numerical modeling tech...
