Initial Postbuckling Behavior of Shear Deformable Symmetrically Laminated Beams

Abstract-Results for the initial postbuckling behavior of laminated beams are presented. Shear deformation effects are incorporated by relaxing certain assumptions of thin beam/plate theory. The analysis used is in the spirit of Koiter [Doctoral thesis, Delft, Amsterdam, English translation AFFDL-TR-70-25, (1970)], who developed asymptotic expressions for the potential energy in the neighborhoo...

Analysis of acoustical behavior of bare cross laminated timber floors for the evaluation of the improvement of impact sound insulation

The estimation of impact sound insulation of horizontal partitions, evaluated from the performance of basic components using EN 12354-2 Standard, do not actually provides satisfactory results when applied to the floors realized with cross laminated timber (CLT) elements. Among the possible reasons of this limited correspondence between predicted and measured impact noise values, one of the most...

Connections for Precast Concrete Load-bearing Shear Wall Panels

Precast load-bearing shear wall panels are used extensively for high-rise construction because of the ease and speed of assembly, and the high quality of the precast panels. The connections between panels are extremely important since they affect both the speed of erection '~md the overall integrity of the structure. This paper presents the results of a four-year research program conducted to i...
