Presentation / Conference Contribution
Khokhar, A. M., Zhang, H., & Ridley-Ellis, D. (2009, October). Determination of shear strength of timber joists by torsion testing

This paper presents an experimental investigation in which the torsion testing approach was employed to evaluate the shear strength of Sitka spruce and Norway spruce joists. Rectangular
structural size specimens of lengths ranging from 1.0 m to 3.6... Read More about Determination of shear strength of timber joists by torsion testing..

Space-Time Finite Element Dynamic Analysis of Transfer Plate Structures in Tall Buildings (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kuang, J., & Zhang, H. (2009, September). Space-Time Finite Element Dynamic Analysis of Transfer Plate Structures in Tall Buildings. Presented at Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering Computing

A new space-time finite element formulation for dynamic analysis of transfer plates is presented. The method is based on an unconventional Hamilton variational principle and a special technique in time domain interpolation is employed. For the simple...
