Say we consider a beam made up of thin layers (laminae) aligned with the longitudinal axis of the beam, and for which the laminae can slide with respect to each other along the longitudinal axis as ...

Stud connectors are widely used to realize the shear connection of steel girders and prefabricated bridge decks in prefabricated steel–concrete composite beams. However, the dense arrangement of stud ...

Electromechanical and other service ducts must be vertically carried out through structural components. Most research have examined the strengthening of the transverse opening region in concrete beams ...
