Shear and steel-fibre reinforcement for the punching resistance of flat slabs at internal and edge columns
Reinforced concrete flat slabs consist of a continuous, thin concrete plate that rests on a grid of columns. The supporting surface of the columns is very small compared to the floor plan dimensions, leading to concentrations of shear forces near the colum ...
EPFL2024Experimental Investigation on Size-Effect of Rubble Stone Masonry Walls Under In-Plane Horizontal Loading: Overview and Preliminary Results
Katrin Beyer, Savvas Saloustros
Rubble stone masonry is a common construction typology of historical city centres and vernacular architecture. While past earthquakes have shown that it is one of the most vulnerable masonry construction typologies, there are few experimental campaigns giv ...
2024Proposed Panel Zone Model for Beam-To-Column Joints in Steel Moment Resisting Frames
Dimitrios Lignos, Andronikos Skiadopoulos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady
In capacity designed steel moment resisting frames (MRFs), beam-to-column joints (i.e., panel zones) are designed to remain elastic. To potentially exploit the beneficial aspects of the stable panel zone hysteretic response in shear, a robust panel zone mo ...
2023Experimental investigation of rotational behavior of pseudo-ductile adhesive angle joints exhibiting variable strain rate
Thomas Keller, Ghazaleh Eslami
Pseudo-ductile behavior in composite structural frames can be achieved by enabling their beam-column joints to exhibit nonlinear structural response due to progressive damage, by using pseudo-ductile adhesives. This study investigates the static behavior o ...
2023Design of slender and squat reinforced concrete members with shear reinforcement
Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Marko Pejatovic
As proposed in several design standards for structural concrete, including Eurocode 2 (EN:1992-1-1:2004) and fib's Model Code 2010, the shear design of slender members with shear reinforcement can be performed by means of consistent models based on suitabl ...
ERNST & SOHN2022Numerical simulations of retrofitting interventions on timber floors in unreinforced masonry
Katrin Beyer, Igor Tomic, Ivana Bozulic
Unreinforced masonry buildings with flexible timber floors are amongst the most vulnerable building typologies for seismic loading. Though flexible diaphragms play a role in the seismic behaviour of unreinforced masonry buildings, the impact of the connect ...
2022Non-destructive Prediction of the Buckling Load of Cylindrical Shells
The current research focuses on the prediction of the maximum axial compression load a cylindrical shell is able to bear. This maximum axial compression load is the value at which a cylindrical shell loses stability and abruptly buckles. After the buckling ...
EPFL2022Inverse Analysis of R-UHPFRC Beams to Determine the Flexural Response under Service Loading and at Ultimate Resistance
Eugen Brühwiler, Emmanuel Denarié, Bartlomiej Wojciech Sawicki
Ultra high performance fiber reinforced cementitious composites (UHPFRCs) have demonstrated their outstanding efficiency as structural materials. Determination of the bending resistance of members combining UHPFRC with steel reinforcement bars (R-UHPFRC) u ...
2022Welded moment connections with highly dissipative panel zones for enhanced seismic performance of steel moment frames
Research conducted after the 1994 Northridge earthquake in the U.S. and the 1995 Kobe earthquake in Japan led to the development of today's pre-qualified beam-to-column connections for capacity-designed steel moment resisting frames (MRFs). Welded moment c ...
EPFL2022Postbuckling behavior and imperfection sensitivity of elastic-plastic periodic plate-lattice materials
Advances in additive manufacturing have enabled a new generation of materials with advantageous properties inherent to their architecture. Recently, architected materials with periodic arrangements of plates, called plate-lattice materials, have been devel ...
