In this work, a deterministic approach is adopted to analyze the robustness of timber roof Gaggiandre shipyard at Arsenale Venice. The capacity traditional truss withstand design loads as result damage in strut-tie node evaluated according alternative load path method. Two layouts trusses are analyzed and compared: before after Austrian retrofitting intervention, performed late 1800s. For both ...

Recent exponential increase in inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placements has led to a higher rate of filter complications. A 46-year-old man with a past history of IVC filter placement for bilateral deep vein thrombosis presented with lower abdominal pain. Imaging studies demonstrated IVC filter strut penetrations into multiple structures. Upper endoscopy confirmed an uncomplicated single IVC ...

The loads in the deep beams are transmitted diagonally from load area to support by means of strut and tie. It is characterized having a small span depth ratio. which causes distribution stresses be non-linear within beam, motivates researchers study effect placing longitudinal hollows extent these holes affect behavior for types beams. In addition advantages added hollow beam such as reducing ...

In this paper, five reinforced concrete double-corbel specimens with the same designed bearing capacity are produced according to triangular-truss method (TTM) in GB 50010-2010. Corbels different dimensions and reinforcement configurations obtained by separately varying compressive strength shear span. The differences mechanical performance load-bearing of corbels compared evaluate accuracy rat...

The introduction of Distributed Optical Fibre Sensing in experimental testing reinforced concrete structures has enabled the acquisition measurements with an unparalleled level detail, providing accurate and ubiquitous description cracking deflections throughout element. However, most available research using this technology focused on study beam specimens high quality data for calibration deve...
