AUTOMATIZATION OF STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF ANEMOMETRIC GUYED MASTS USING SAP2000 MATLAB OAPI
This paper presents the application of a MATLAB-based framework that automates the modelling, analysis and design of anemometric steel guyed masts via the SAP2000 Open Application Programming Interface (OAPI). The design procedure is carried out in accordance with the current generation of Eurocode standards. The efficiency of the OAPI is demonstra...

DEMOUNTABLE COLUMN BASE FOR REUSABLE MOMENT-RESISTING STEEL FRAMES
An innovative joint, constructed to allow steel columns to be easily removed and reused from concrete foundations, is proposed, contributing to the design for deconstruction and reuse practices. The connection assembly primarily consists of anchor couplers and anchors embedded in a concrete foundation, and a demountable upper part of the anchors, c...

TORSION AND WARPING CONSTANT FOR STEEL I BEAMS WITH BATTEN PLATES
A reliable calculation method for torsion constant (IT) and warping constant (Iw) of I section with batten plates is presented. As welding of the batten plates transforms the cross section from an open to a two-cell closed one, the associated torsion theory becomes rather complex. St. Venant torsion theory of thin-walled closed sections is extended...

A CAD-BASED REFINED ZIG-ZAG THEORY FINITE ELEMENT FRAMEWORK USING GMSH SOFTWARE
A computational framework for the structural analysis of laminated composite plates is presented. The framework combines geometry and mesh generation in Gmsh software with a Refined Zig-Zag finite element solver written by the author. The imported mesh provides the discretization of the computational domain, while the laminate definition, material ...

IZAZOVI OCJENJIVANJA POTRESNE OTPORNOSTI POSTOJEĆIH ZGRADA
Potresi koji su 2020. godine pogodili Zagreb i Petrinju pokazali su visoku seizmičku ranjivost postojećeg fonda zgrada u Republici Hrvatskoj, posebno starijih zidanih građevina izgrađenih prije uvođenja suvremenih protupotresnih propisa. U radu su prikazani osnovni elementi procjene seizmičkog rizika, problematika identifikacije kritične tipologije...

METHODS FOR DETERMINING MASONRY COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH: FROM EXPERIMENTS TO AI APPROACHES
The compressive strength of masonry walls represents one of the key mechanical characteristics of masonry structures. Its determination goes beyond a simple consideration of the properties of individual materials and depends on the complex interaction between masonry units, mortar, assembly geometry, and loading conditions. This paper presents a sy...

TESTING OF MASONRY WALLS FOR STRUCTURAL CONDITION ASSESSMENT AND MASONRY STRUCTURE DESIGN
The assessment of existing masonry structures requires reliable information on their actual material properties, stress state, stiffness, and load-bearing capacity. This paper presents a methodology for the investigation and characterization of existing masonry walls, combining visual inspection, laboratory testing of masonry units and mortar, and ...

LONG TERM DURABILITY OF CONCRETES PREPARED WITH CRYSTALLINE ADMIXTURES
Concrete is the most used construction material worldwide and material with the second greater consumption globally, just after water. However, durability of concrete is a major problem that minimizes the service life of structures. Concrete deterioration is almost always caused by reactants that penetrate the concrete matrix with water. Therefore,...
