• Experimental evaluation, FEM and condensed stiffness matrices of 2D external welded haunched joints 

      Loureiro, Alfonso; López López, Manuel; Gutierrez, Ruth; Reinosa, J.M. (Elsevier, 2020-02)
      [Abstract] In recent years, several researchers have been working hard to improve the knowledge with respect to steel joints behaviour. Special effort has been made for obtaining the stiffness of the different components ...
    • Mechanical stiffness prediction of beam-to-column stiffened angle joints 

      Loureiro, Alfonso; Gutiérrez, Ruth; López, Manuel; Reinosa, J.M. (Elsevier, 2019-11-28)
      [Abstract]: Semi-rigid angle joints, in their different configurations, constitute a highly interesting alternative to other typologies like end plate joints. However, they are not widely used in the customary practice of ...
    • Metamodelling of stiffness matrices for 2D welded asymmetric steel joints 

      Loureiro, Alfonso; López, Manuel; Reinosa, José Manuel; Gutiérrez, Ruth; Bayo, Eduardo (Elsevier, 2019-08-02)
      [Abstract]: Beam-column steel joints usually have a semi-rigid behaviour, and this must be taken into account when carrying out a global analysis of the structure. Rotational springs at each side of the joint are commonly ...
