Reinforcing Civil Engineering Curricula With Courses Including Project-Based Software Applications

Gerard Guell Bartrina

Civil engineering (CE) is one of the broadest engineering fields, if not the most, and requires undergraduate students to be exposed to a variety of topics; each can be easily recognized as a major in its own. Establishing a successful curriculum is a majo ...

Application of a Point Estimate Method for incorporating the epistemic uncertainty in the seismic assessment of a masonry building

Katrin Beyer, Francesco Vanin

Several sources of uncertainty affect the assessment of existing buildings, including uncertainties associated with the material properties and the displacement capacity of the elements. In engineering practice, Monte Carlo simulations of the nonlinear sei ...

Machine Learning Techniques to address classification issues in Reverse Engineering

Dimitrios Kyritsis

This paper aims to provide a road map for future works related to reverse engineering field of expertise. Reverse Engineering, in a mechanical context, relates to any process working in a bottom-up fashion, namely that it goes from a lower level concept or ...

Analytical model for the out-of-plane response of vertically spanning unreinforced masonry walls

Katrin Beyer, Michele Godio

An analytical model describing the flexural response of vertically spanning out-of-plane loaded unreinforced masonry walls is presented in this paper. The model is based on the second-order Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and captures important characteristics ...

Modelling of the Cyclic Response of an Unreinforced Masonry Wall through a Force Based Beam Element

Katrin Beyer, João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida, Francesco Vanin

The seismic assessment of existing masonry buildings is based on the prediction of their nonlinear response under lateral loading. This requires a reliable estimation of the force and displacement demand. For this purpose, modelling strategies using struct ...

Influence of Lap Splices on the Deformation Capacity of RC Walls. II: Shell Element Simulation and Equivalent Uniaxial Model

Katrin Beyer, João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida, Danilo Tarquini

Spliced longitudinal reinforcement may result in a reduction of both strength and displacement capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) members. This applies in particular when lap splices are located in regions where inelastic deformations concentrate, such a ...

An assessment of how well we account for intangibles

Gaétan Jean A de Rassenfosse

Estimates of intangible capital stock are of prime importance for accurate measurement of productivity growth. Aggregate intangible capital stock is usually estimated using the so-called Corrado-Hulten-Sichel (CHS) new growth accounting framework. Yet this ...

A Practical Engineering Approach to Interpreting Measurement Data in Uncertain Contexts

Ian Smith, Sai Ganesh Sarvotham Pai

Measurement data interpretation has the potential to improve asset management through quantification of reserve capacity and execution of well-engineered interventions. Many recent proposals for data interpretation that include uncertainty are not appropri ...
