In the process of developing next generation design standards for steel structures, most relevant international structural codes including AISC 360, 370, AS/NZS 4100 and Eurocode 3 already incorporate preliminary versions system-based design-by-analysis approaches that allow a direct evaluation strength stainless structures from advanced numerical simulations. As result, recent research works h...

This paper describes the model for compressive stress-strain behavior of steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) in Annex L new Eurocode 2 (version 2022-05, EC2), developed within CEN TC250/SC2/WG1/TG2 – Fiber reinforced concrete. The uses functions obtained from correlations with an extensive database comprised 197 well-documented SFRC tests and 484 flexural tests. We detailedly explain derive ...

This paper reviews the provisions given in draft of second-generation Eurocode 8 (EC8) for design and assessment RC beam-column joint against seismic conditions. The analytical bases were recently published by Michael Fardis. A critical discussion models, supported a numerical example, is given. Validation an independent database exterior joints made. final comparison with respect to (i) curren...
