The present research deals with the cyclic and standard pull-out resistance of deformed steel bars embedded in lightweight normal concrete. This paper is a continuation previous paper, where experimental results are detailed. In set against formulas diagrams provided by Eurocode Model Code 1990, then comparative discussion performed. case loading, damage defined Palmgren–Miner hypothesis, as we...

<p>Ship collision is still one of the risk-prone expositions for bridges crossing navigable inland and mar- itime waterways. Within preparation 2nd generation Eurocodes a 3rd (final) draft an updated EN 1991-1-7 edited [2]. Rules background information Eurocode impact rules concerning maritime waterway traffic are given. The recommendations cover aspects like dynamics, load-indentation-fu...

In this text we will formalise a novel solution, the Bayesian Volumetric Map (BVM), as a framework for a metric, short-term, egocentric spatial memory for multimodal perception of 3D structure and motion. This solution will enable the implementation of top-down mechanisms of attention guidance of perception towards areas of high entropy/uncertainty, so as to promote active exploration of the en...

The climatic data on which the current generation of Eurocodes are based mostly about 20 years old, with some exceptions recent updates at a national level. second for structural design is expected to be nationally implemented within next few and operational National Annexes should subsequently developed maps revised. Some models extreme climate actions still missing including wind action effec...
