This paper shows the results of an experimental investigation carried out on a connection element of glulam and concrete composite structures, through double-sided push-out shear tests. The connection system was composed ...

Among all of the existing structural systems, the steel-concrete composite elements outstands because it takes advantage of the properties of both materials in the same element. Unlike the system in reinforced concrete ...

Timber-concrete composite structures work appropriately when a suitable connection system is included because the degree of interaction between the materials stiffs the structural system. Thereby, it is extremely important ...

The demand and use of the floor and concrete system has been mainly due to good characteristics and constructive systems that associate steel and concrete. A slim floor composite is defined for the floor system whose beam ...

The development, computational implementation and application of polynomially-enriched plate macro-element are presented in this work. This macro-element has been formulated by the authors for thin isotropic plates using ...

In most constructions are used wooden structures for roofs and many are executed in the conventional system using trusses. With the advancement of architecture, with regard the employability of timber, other ways have been ...

Experimental results and conclusions about punching shear slab failures are presented. The main analysed aspects are the strength influence of the shear reinforcement (studs) and the post-tensioning with unbonded tendons ...

This work discusses the modeling of a complete bolted connection based on a model with one bolt connecting two or three plates. Initially, the behavior of this model with one bolt is analyzed by comparing it with existing ...

This paper reports the results of full-scale tests in beam-to-column connections for composite slim floor systems, including tests on Bare Steel connection and composite connection. The tested system consists of a ...

The objective of this work is to present the finite element modeling of laminate composite plates with embedded piezoelectric patches or layers that are then connected to active-passive resonant shunt circuits, composed ...
