Our loadings code has adapted and extended to incorporate new knowledge as it has emerged over the last 50+ years: could a re-write encourage engineers to design better buildings? This paper outlines some intentionally ...

Worldwide, due to the large amount of end-of-life tyre (ELT) stockpiles, reusing and recycling of ELTs in civil engineering applications have become a priority, significantly contributing to lessen environmental and health ...

The dynamic deformation capacity of a structure is the peak storey drift ratio it can safely withstand without collapsing due to dynamic instability. In a previous study, the authors developed a robust procedure to compute ...

Different methods to model building floor diaphragm in-plane stiffness with truss elements are compared to identify the method most suitable for analysis in design. The methods considered include (i) Elastic truss, (ii) ...
