Design of pre-cast two-column bents using strut-and-tie models and nonlinear fi...
Carvalho, Lucas; Pimentel, Mário; Arêde, António; Pouca, Nelson Vila; Delgado, Pedro; Pinto, José RuiThe collapse of the Cypress Street Viaduct during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake raised awareness to the seismic design and detailing of the connections between cap beams and columns. Current standards require a considerable amount of transverse reinforcement inside the joints, leading to reinforcement congestion and constructability problems. Moreover, some design rules are rather unclear and the link to the ...
Numerical modelling and strut-and-tie concepts for seismic design and assessmen...
Carvalho, Lucas; Pimentel, Mário; Delgado, Pedro; Arêde, António; Pouca, Nelson Vila; Pinto, José RuiPrecast structures are more common in zones not affected by earthquakes or affected by low - to moderate-intensity earthquakes; the application of precast structures in zones of higher seismic intensity is unusual due to the seismic performance uncertainty of these structures. Concerning precast bridges, special attention needs to be paid on the column to cap-beam connections, as well as the methods to anchor t...
Necessidades dos pais face ao diagnóstico de cancro na criança: Vivenciar uma t...
Pinto, José RuiO diagnóstico de cancro numa criança e a adaptação familiar à doença oncológica constitui- -se como um processo complexo, inesperado e devastador para a criança e família, exigindo destes últimos a aquisição de novas competências e reestruturação do seu estilo de vida. Este estudo faz uma abordagem sobre as necessidades dos pais face ao diagnóstico de cancro na criança com o objetivo de conhecer e analisar as n...
