Punching shear design in MC2010: incorporating new knowledge and grounding design expressions on physical models

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz

Model Code 2010 (MC2010) has presented a deep review on punching shear design with respect to previous versions of Model Code (1978, 1990). These changes have been motivated by the fact that MC2010 is grounded on a physical theory rather than on empirical ...

A comment on the construction of the maximal globally hyperbolic Cauchy development

Willie Wai Yeung Wong

Under mild assumptions, we remove all traces of the axiom of choice from the construction of the maximal globally hyperbolic Cauchy development in general relativity. The construction relies on the notion of direct union manifolds, which we review. The con ...
