CONFLATING STRUCTURAL SAFETY WITH LIFE SAFETY If you are confused by the title of this post, I encourage you to read Commentary L, part of the Structural Commentaries of the National Building Code of Canada. Commentary L provides a rational methodology for the evaluation of existing buildings and differentiates between life safety and structural safety.

Dear network, I am pleased to share my article titled "Analysis of the Construction Sequence of a Reaction Wall in a Structural Laboratory Supported by the VDC Methodology" which was published at Applied Sciences. It was developed in collaboration with Noe Valdez and Alexandre Del Savio. The article presents a VDC framework that was applied to obtain an optimized and honest schedule to ensure project success. Here is the link to the article for anyone who wants to read it: https://lnkd.in/dGjcQK4w

I was pleased that my  article reached 200 reads in ResearchGate. Achieved on September 3, 2024 Article: Parametric Study on the P-M Interaction Diagram of Hollow Prestressed Concrete Bridge Columns DOI: 10.5000/EESK.2011.15.6.001 Abstract: This study presents the results of parametric studies of the P-M interaction diagram of hollow prestressed concrete bridge columns. Among the numerous parameters, this study concentrates on concrete compressive strength, prestressing steel reinforcement ratio, effective prestress, the Ds/Do ratio, and the Di/Do ratio. The strength and ductility of hollow prestressed concrete bridge columns were evaluated through quasistatic tests. The P-M interaction diagrams from the codes were different from that of the results, which were in good agreement with AASHTO-LRFD. Nondimensionalized P-M interaction diagrams were developed to predict the design resistance of hollow prestressed concrete bridge columns. https://lnkd.in/gajdifx9
