Journal ArticleDOI
A simple formula for predicting the horizontal capacity of masonry portal frames
TL;DR: In this article, a simple formula for predicting the horizontal capacity of masonry portals is proposed and discussed, and closed form expressions for the multipliers for each of them have been derived.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hexagrid – hexagonal tube structures for tall buildings: patterns, modeling, and design
TL;DR: In this article, a general homogenization approach has been established for dealing with any structural patterns, and a methodology for characterizing the structural patterns from the mechanical point of view has been developed and specified for hexagrid and diagrids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Limit analysis of masonry circular buttressed arches under horizontal loads
TL;DR: The suggested procedure is automatic, and structural engineers can easily implement it in a computer algebra system to identify the failure mechanism and the position of the hinges that minimises the horizontal load multiplier.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental Investigation on European Welded Connections
TL;DR: In this article, the results of a test program devoted to the assessment of the cyclic behavior of beam-to-column welded connections are presented, where three specimen groups, characterized by different values of the relative column-beam-panel zone strengths, are designed and tested under different loading histories.
Journal ArticleDOI
Closed form solution for predicting the horizontal capacity of masonry portal frames through limit analysis and comparison with experimental test results
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the in-plane seismic capacity of masonry portal frames, which can be considered the basic structural element in historical buildings, using the limit analysis approach to provide simplified expressions of the horizontal collapse multiplier.
