Accounting for modeling errors and inherent structural variability through a hierarchical bayesian model updating approach: An overview
(2020)Mechanics-based dynamic models are commonly used in the design and performance assessment of structural systems, and their accuracy can be improved by integrating models with measured data. This paper provides an overview ... -
Assessment of SSI interaction effects for deep diaphragm walls and adjacent buildings considering spatial variability of parameters, post-peak behavior and concrete cracking
(2021)Recent research works into the design and response evaluation of deep diaphragm walls and induced settlements to adjacent buildings demonstrated that the nonlinear behavior of surrounding soil, cracking effects affecting ... -
Buckling of clad pipes under bending and external pressure
(2011)The present paper concerns the structural behaviour of clad pipes. This is a double wall pipe, composed by two pipes that are in contact through an appropriate manufacturing procedure; a thick-walled carbon steel "outer ... -
Can Existing Design Codes Be Used to Design Flexural Reinforced Concrete Elements Strengthened with Externally Bonded Novel Materials?
(2018)The use of composite overlays to strengthen or rehabilitate existing structural elements has been investigated over the past few decades. The most common composites that were used are based on Glass or Carbon fibers ... -
Circular tunnel in a gradient elastoplastic rock mass
(2020)This paper attempts to study the mechanical behavior of an elastoplastic rock mass around an underground circular excavation by using gradient theory. The problem (in plane conditions) is reduced to that of a circular hole ... -
Earthquake resistant design and rehabilitation of masonry historical structures
(2005)A general methodology for the earthquake resistant design and rehabilitation of damaged masonry historical structures is presented. The whole process is illustrated through a case study: The rehabilitation of Zoodohos Pigi ... -
The effect of the daylight zone on lighting energy savings
(2020)Daylighting is the cornerstone of low energy building design. Therefore, the adoption of a daylight - harvesting lighting control system can substantially increase lighting energy savings. These are strongly depended on ... -
Fuzzy control system for smart energy management in residential buildings based on environmental data
(2021)Modern energy automation solutions and demand response applications rely on load profiles to monitor and manage electricity consumption effectively. The introduction of smart control systems capable of handling additional ... -
Interface modelling between CFD and FEM analysis: The dual-layer post-processing model
(2017)Purpose: The primary purpose of this paper is the development of a fire-structure interface (FSI) model, which is referred in this study as a simplified "dual-layer" model. It is oriented for design purposes, in the cases ... -
Joint Strength or "Efficiency" Factors of Steel Lap Welded Joints for Use in Water Conveyance
(2019)Joint "efficiency" factors are proposed for pressure vessels, piping, and pipelines by ASME standards. For the particular case of non-radiographically-tested lap-welded joints, a low value of joint "efficiency" is proposed. ... -
Multi-objective parameter identification in structural dynamics
(2003)The structural identification problem is formulated in a multi-objective context that allows the simultaneous minimization of the various objectives related to the fit between measured and model predicted data. Thus, the ... -
Numerical and experimental assessment of the airflow field and ventilation rates in a naturally ventilated free cubical cattle house with large openings
(2013)An efficient natural ventilation system in dairy cattle buildings is essential both for animal welfare and for environmental issues since the naturally ventilated livestock buildings are a major source of greenhouse gas ... -
Numerical Evaluation of Pile Response Under Combined Lateral and Axial Loading
(2018)Piled foundations are frequently subjected to simultaneous axial and lateral loadings. However, the interaction effects of the one loading on the other are, in most cases, disregarded for the sake of simplicity. With the ... -
Overbreak risk assessment in the Athens metro TBM tunnels
(2004)Assessment of IBM tunneling conditions and potential for damage in building and archaeological remains is of greatest benefit in resolving problems associated with the construction of the Athens Metro, Greece. In this ... -
Pareto optimal structural models and predictions consistent with data and modal residuals
(2008)A multi-objective identification method for model updating based on modal residuals is proposed. The method results in multiple Pareto optimal structural models that are consistent with the measured modal data, the class ... -
Pile groups under axial loading: An appraisal of simplified non-linear prediction models
(2019)The settlement behaviour of vertically loaded pile groups has been the subject of an extensive body of research over the past two decades. In particular, this work has identified the over-conservatism associated with ... -
