This paper deals with the modeling of punching shear failure in reinforced concrete slabs using nonlinear finite element analysis. The 3D finite element analyses (FEA) were performed with the appropriate modeling of element size and mesh, and the constitutive modeling of concrete. The FE numerical models are validated by comparing with the experimental results obtained from tested specimens and...

In this study, a two-phase simplified approach is proposed to predict the in-plane strength capacity of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls. first phase, damage and failure patterns URM walls are determined from available observational (field) data, experimental data also numerical analysis data. Then, set rules estimate wall panels. second valuable information employed develop model with coarse m...

Abstract This paper investigates the response of finned piles in sand subjected to static lateral load through laboratory tests and full-scale field tests. Firstly, model were carried out on free headed single different shaft diameters with without fins explore performance under loading. The results obtained from monotonic loading three series combination pile presented. effect improving stiffn...

Abstract. The modern unification of the European standards EUROCODE requires securing a constant quality of metallurgical production in the EU countries. In this paper, experimentally found statistical characteristics of yield stress, ultimate tensile strength and ductility of Czech and Austrian steel are presented. In the probabilistic reliability analysis, the experimentally found yield stres...

Rock-socketed pile is widely used in coastal wharf, Marine bridge, and power engineering, the end bearing function considered more design process. However, lateral friction resistance of rock-socketed piles an important part, load transfer mechanism pile–soft rock interface research focus. In this paper, a comparative analysis was adopted test, ten groups test specimens were made, including fiv...

The method of encasing the stone column with a proper type geosynthetic material is widely used technique to provide required lateral confinement and avoid dispersion granular into soft clay. Along improved ultimate load capacity reduced settlement bulging, encasement preserves easy drainage ability columns. This paper presents finite element analysis results hypothetical embankment on soil dep...

In this paper, the seismic performance of reinforced concrete moment-resisting frame with cold-joint subjected to monotonic lateral load has been studied numerically using Pushover analysis. Two modes fracture may occur for in a in-plane loading. The are Mode-I (stress orthogonal local plane crack surface) and Mode-II parallel surface but front). order model verify its behavior mode I II mechan...
