1. Testing and analysis of composites with 3D woven reinforcement
Abstract : Composites with three-dimensional (3D) reinforcement have several benefits, compared to laminated composites. Their through-thickness reinforcement increase the out-of-plane properties significantly and could eliminate problems with delaminations. Also, these composites have proven to have great damage tolerance and energy absorption. READ MORE

2. Modelling Alternative Load Paths in Platform-Framed CLT Buildings : A Finite Element Approach
Abstract : Timber has become more popular as a construction material during recent years. Engineered wood products, such as glued laminated timber and cross-laminated timber, have enabled the construction of multi-storey buildings. Tall buildings with many occupants need to resist a disproportional collapse in case of unexpected exposures, e.g. READ MORE

3. Development and application of corotational finite elements for the analysis of steel structures in fire
Abstract : The ignition and the propagation of a fire inside a building may lead to global or local structural collapse, especially in steel framed structures. Indeed, steel structures are particularly vulnerable to thermal attack because of a high value of steel conductivity and of the small thickness that characterise the cross-sections. READ MORE

4. Structural Earthquake Response Analysis
Abstract : AbstractEarthquakes are one of the most dangerous natural phenomena causing damage to buildings and other structures as well as injury and death of people. These destructive processes can never be prevented to happen, but their impact on the structures can be minimized. READ MORE

5. Corotational formulation for nonlinear analysis of flexible beam structures
Abstract : Flexible beam structures are popular in civil and mechanical engineering. Many of these structures undergo large displacements and finite rotations, but with small deformations. Their dynamic behaviors are usually investigated using finite beam elements. A well known method to derive such beam elements is the corotational approach. READ MORE
