Effects of creep and shrinkage on the behavior of reinforced concrete gable roof hyperbolic-paraboloids
… geometry. Likewise, then as a corollary, some shells, will experience significant changes in their strength as a consequence of changes in their geometry that develope in response to loads. The special characteristics of concrete, as an aging viscoelastic material, allow the increase of …

Thin-shell Concrete Floors for Sustainable Buildings
… building stock. Already, the production of concrete and steel accounts for a third of worldwide industrial CO2 emissions, representing a major opportunity, and responsibility, for structural engineers to contribute towards a low-carbon future through efficient design. A significant majority …

Low-Cost Masonry for the Design of Barrel-Vaulted Flooring Systems
… housing in LEDCs relies on reinforced concrete frames with flat slabs. This structurally inefficient system heavily depends on imported cement and steel for many locations. Compounding this issue, in LEDCs, the construction sector contributes significantly to their annual carbon …

Stability analysis of edge corrugated shells
The practical construction of reinforced concrete shells highlights two points, both of theoretical and practical interest: 1. in the neighbourhood of the edge, the membrane state is not representative of the actual stress and strain, and the effect of bending moments must be taken into account; 2. …
