Conceptual design of 1000 m scale steel-UHPFRC composite truss arch bridge
Excessive self-weight and difficulty in construction are the main issues confronted by super-long-span arch bridges. To address these issues, a conceptual design of steel-ultra-high performance fibre-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) composite truss arch bridge ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2021Spalling of concrete cover induced by reinforcement
Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Francesco Rafael Alberto Moccia
This paper investigates the phenomenon of cover spalling in reinforced concrete induced by bond or by the action of an inner pressure. This research is based on an experimental programme comprising a series of bond tests and a series of tests with inner-pr ...
2021First observation of spalling in tantalum at high temperatures induced by high energy proton beam impacts
Elvis Fornasiere, Marco Calviani
Spalling in tantalum has been observed in an experiment aiming at testing an antiproton production target prototype at CERN’s HiRadMat Facility. The experiment consisted in impacting 47 intense and high-energy proton beams onto a target equipped with ten c ...
2020Cold stiffening of orthotropic steel decks by a composite UHPFRC layer
Eugen Brühwiler, Lan Duan, Shichao Wang
Cold stiffening of the plate of Orthotropic Steel Deck (OSD) of bridges can be achieved by adding a layer of Ultra-High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composite material (UHPFRC) on top of the deck plate by composite design, thus expecting to re ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2020Recommendations for Improved Welding Procedures for Thick Steel Plates Through Thermo-Mechanical Analysis
Welding of steel plates is accompanied by residual stresses that increase as the constraint provided by the welded components becomes greater. Consequently, crack initiation has been reported after welding thick plates due to the high residual stresses dev ...
2019MATHICSE Technical Report : Fast and accurate elastic analysis of laminated composite plates via isogeometric collocation and an equilibrium-based stress recovery approach
Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Alessandro Reali
A novel approach which combines isogeometric collocation and an equilibriumbased stress recovery technique is applied to analyze laminated composite plates. Isogeometric collocation is an appealing strong form alternative to standard Galerkin approaches, a ...
