Vibrations induced by train crossings over railway bridges in high-speed rail operations often represent a critical criterion for the design and verification of bridge structures. According to current standards, these vibrations must be verified...

Transverse end plate connections with reinforcing steel are a common detail at the interface between concrete construction and steel construction. The simple „design“ of these transverse end plate connections with reinforcing steel on the basis...

The General Method addresses stability verification for steel structures subjected to compression and bending moment, including members with irregular geometries or complex loading and support conditions. Previous research has evaluated the accuracy...

The draft edition 2026/1 of the Model Administrative Regulation for Technical Building Rules (MVV TB) [1] marks an important milestone for earthquake design in Germany. The draft proposes replacing DIN 4149 [2] with the provisions of DIN EN 1998-1...

In the context of current megatrends such as digitalization, the transport revolution and changes in religiosity, there are significant challenges and opportunities for the reuse of existing building structures. In particular, obsolete building...

This study experimentally investigates the use of innovative C-FRP ropes for the strengthening of reinforced concrete columns. For the purposes of this research, two full-scale specimens (column/beam) with identical geometry and identical...
