A numerical study of beam-to-column joints subjected to impact
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Limited documentation is concerned with the behaviour of steel joints subjected to severe impulsive loading originating from incidents such as explosions or impact. In this paper, finite element simulations are used to ... -
A parametric study on the final blade installation process for monopile wind turbines under rough environmental conditions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Single blade installation is a method for installing wind turbine blades. If a jack-up vessel is used during an o shore installation, the wind turbine blade is mainly subjected to wind loads and experiences resonant motions, ... -
An analytical approach to model Structure–Soil–Structure Interaction (SSSI) of arbitrarily distributed buildings under SH waves
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)In this work, a simplified analytical framework based on the multiple scattering theory is proposed to model the structure–soil–structure interaction of buildings excited by antiplane shear waves. To this purpose, each ... -
Application of European design principles to cross laminated timber
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The design of cross laminated timber (CLT) structures is not included in the current version of European structural timber design standards of EN 1995 (Eurocode 5, EC 5). Due to the increasing importance of CLT, in different ... -
Assessment of performance enhancement of a semi-submersible vertical axis wind turbine with an optimized Darrieus rotor
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Increasing efforts are currently being devoted to develop floating vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs), due to their potential to reduce the cost-of-energy. Optimization of rotors is favorable to increase the power capture ... -
Assessment of the failure behaviour and reliability of timber connections with multiple dowel-type fasteners
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Connections with metal dowel-type fasteners are important details in timber construction, connecting single members and elements to larger structures. The load-carrying capacity can be described by different failure modes ... -
Buffeting response of long-span bridges considering uncertain turbulence parameters using the environmental contour method
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Full-scale monitoring of the Hardanger Bridge has revealed significant turbulence-induced variability in the measured acceleration response. In this paper, a probabilistic model is used to describe the uncertain turbulence ... -
Comparative analysis of numerically simulated and experimentally measured motions and sectional forces and moments in a floating wind turbine hull structure subjected to combined wind and wave loads
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Multi-body time-domain finite element models, which implement a recently developed numerical approach for determining forces and moments in floaters, are developed to simulate rigid-body motions and sectional forces and ... -
Deep autoencoder architecture for bridge damage assessment using responses from several vehicles
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Vehicle-assisted monitoring is a promising alternative for rapid and low-cost bridge health monitoring compared to direct instrumentation of bridges. In recent years, centralized management systems for fleets of heavy ... -
Description of failure mechanism in placed riprap on steep slope with unsupported toe using smartstone probes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This article is aimed at investigating the influence of toe support conditions on stability aspects of placed ripraps on steep slopes exposed to overtopping flows. All past experimental model studies investigating placed ... -
Design of steel bridge girders against ship forecastle collisions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)A key aspect in the design of mega bridge structures across navigable waterways is to ensure bridge safety with respect to accidental ship collisions. Special attention has been paid to providing sufficient impact resistance ... -
Development of an index for quantification of structural dynamic response in a railway catenary section
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In an attempt to quantify the amount of the dynamic reaction in a railway catenary system due to the dynamic action created by the interaction with the pantograph of the train, a catenary dynamic index (CDI) is developed. ... -
Drive-by scour monitoring of railway bridges using a wavelet-based approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This paper numerically investigates the feasibility of using bogie acceleration measurements from a passing train to detect the presence of bridge scour. The Continuous Wavelet Transform is used to process the simulated ... -
Dynamics of long multi-trailer heavy vehicles crossing short to medium span length bridges
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Around the world, many countries experience an increase in the demand for freight to be transported by road. One solution is to introduce larger heavy vehicles, which have the capability of transporting more freight. These ... -
Effect of wave-current interaction on a long fjord-crossing floating pontoon bridge
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Fjord-crossing floating bridges are sophisticated structures subjected to complex environmental loadings including combined action of wave and current. However, the effect of wave-current action is often neglected in a ... -
