Steel-concrete composite systems are an efficient alternative to mid- and high-rise building structures because of their high strength-to-weight ratio when compared to traditional concrete or steel constructive systems. ...

This study addresses the interplay between strain/stress fields and paleo-fluid migration in the Southern Andean Volcanic Zone (SVZ). The SVZ coexists with the margin-parallel Liquine-Ofqui Fault System (LOFS) and with ...

Prequalification of the Double Split Tee (DST) connection has been conducted using hot-rolled shapes, whose availability is still limited in several countries. In addition, the range of available T web and flange thicknesses ...

The prediction of the wear behaviour of components under conditions of cavitation and hard particle erosion requires the implementation of a new model capable of accounting for the accelerated damage due to the synergic ...

The paper presents an integrated framework which deals with natural hazards (tsunamis), physical vulnerability modelling, risk of failure for industrial structures (metal structures) and structural resilience provided by ...

Today’s wireless networks provide us reliable connectivity. However, if a disaster occurs, the whole network could be out of service and people cannot communicate. Using a fast deployable temporally network by mounting ...
