Domus has curated a selection of projects in Italian ports, exemplary cases that represent the complex transformation of the relationship between port and city.

2.1. Experimental investigation Forty CES columns underwent casting and experimental axial load testing. The columns were designed with a cross-sectional area of 230 mm by 230 mm and incorporated an I ...

The macromodel, by which the beam and column are simulated by fiber beam elements, has been extensively used in the progressive collapse analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) frames due to its high ...

The warping effects may predominate in geometrically nonlinear analysis of open cross-section members. The formulation of conventional beam-column elements incorporating the warping effects is ...

Four years after the collapse of Champlain Towers South killed 98 people in Surfside, investigators piecing together the rubble are homing in on shoddy construction as what most likely caused the ...

The longitudinal rebars for the columns were 8Ø18 bars corresponding to a 1.7% reinforcement ratio. The Ø10 stirrups were spaced at 200 mm over the entire height of the column. No transverse ...

Test results demonstrated adequate torsional resistance up to 60% of the theoretical steel corbel strength. Parastesh et al. (2014) developed a new ductile moment-resisting beam-column connection, ...
