Full-scale downburst damage versus boundary layer wind tunnel pressures : a survey analysis
(Northeastern University, 2016-06-11)
On the night of January 29, 2016 a thunderstorm event was registered in Porto Alegre, Brazil. The winds
caused damage throughout the majority of the city, leaving more than 220,000 houses without electricity and
thousands ...
Estudo comparativo entre ensaios em túnel de vento e danos em estruturas reais causados por um downburstComparative study of wind tunnel tests and full-scale damages caused by a downburst
(Asociación Sudamericana de Ingeniería Estructural. Asociación Paraguaya de Estructura, 2016)
Na noite de 29 de janeiro, 2016, uma tormenta TS foi registrada em Porto Alegre, Brasil. Os ventos causaram danos na maior parte da cidade, deixando 220.000 residências sem energia elétrica e milhares sem água. O evento ...
Full scale fatigue test performed to the bolster beam of a railway vehicle
(Springer-Verlag France, 2018-02-01)
Many structural elements are exposed to conditions of load that are difficult to consider during the design stage, such as environment uncertainties, random impacts, overloads and inherent material idealization amongst ...

Damage Assessment Using Modeling of Large-Scale Confined Masonry Building
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018-12)
The seismic behavior of a representative medium-rise building of Mexico City is evaluated using the capacity spectrum method. This method is widely used in the seismic assessment of buildings because it allows obtaining ...
Partially grouted masonry walls with different horizontal reinforcement types: North American-compliant experimental performance for low seismic risk areas
(2023)
The type of horizontal reinforcement can play a major role in the shear response of partially grouted (PG) masonry walls, particularly in the damage pattern and the post-peak behavior. Bond beam reinforcement and bed joint ...
Damage detection in steel–concrete composite structures by impact hammer modal testing and experimental validation
(MDPI, 2022)
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. ...
