This paper presents the development of 3D finite element (FE) technique to model and analyse reinforced masonry (RM) walls under axial compression. The Arc-length algorithm integrated with initial geometric imperfection has been used nonlinear response both embedded steel that RM wall allow for occurrence buckling concentric A segmental modelling was developed consider material nonlinearities e...

Cylindrical shell is a common structural design solution in many engineering fields, such as the foundation supporting structures and buoyant column of offshore wind turbine maritime sector. Operating an ocean environment, these cylindrical need to withstand combination axial compression, bending moment, torsion external pressure. This study contributes parametric investigation for unstiffened ...
