Proactive Risk-Based Integrity Assessment of Water Distribution Networks
(2010)
Sustainable management of urban water distribution networks should include not only new methods for monitoring, repairing or replacing aging infrastructure, but also (and more importantly) expanded methods for modelling ...
Effect of the seismic excitation angle on the dynamic response of adjacent buildings during pounding
(2015)
The excitation angle or angle of incidence is the angle in which the horizontal seismic components are applied with respect to the principal structural axes during a time history analysis. In this study, numerical simulations ...
Discrete Model for the Structure and Strength of Cementitious Materials
(2017)
Cementitious materials are characterized by brittle behavior in direct tension and by transverse dilatation (due to microcracking) under compression. Microcracking causes increasingly larger transverse strains and a ...
