DOI: 10.1177/09544097221128162
Abstract: The dynamic behaviour of a complete crossing panel under a transient moving load is considered using finite element method (FEM). A 3D model is developed in ANSYS software and validated using recent field measurements data… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/buildings10110212
Abstract: While continuous reinforced concrete deep beams with fixed and hinged support conditions are every so often found in structures, little research has focused on their performance. This, in part, can be attributed to the demanding… read more here.
