Extended Tension Chord Model for Boundary Elements of RC Walls Accounting for Anchorage Slip and Lap Splices Presence
Abstract This paper presents a mechanical model for the simulation of reinforced concrete (RC) wall boundary elements with lap splices, which builds on the tension chord model.The model is composed of an assembly of components, each one accounting for a different source of deformation.Namely: (i) an anchorage-slip Accessories element accounting for

Assessment of the Potential of Electric Propulsion for General Aviation Using Model-Based System Engineering (MBSE) Methodology
Climate change currently taking place around the world requires humanity to take decisive action.One way, as envisaged in the European Green Deal, is to reduce the emissions of harmful chemical compounds of the transport sector by 90% by 2050.This reduction also applies to aviation.The most commonly suggested means of achieving this goal is the ele
