Optimization of the environmental impact of beams
In the European Union, building construction accounts for 40% of materials consumption, 40% of overall energy consumption, and 40% of waste production [1]. It is therefore essential to reduce the environmental impact of these structures. Various levers are ...
2023Design of New Low-Carbon Floor Systems by Reusing Cut Cast-in-Place Concrete Pieces
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Célia Marine Küpfer, Numa Joy Bertola
As floors typically account for the largest share of a building embodied carbon footprint, new strategies to build low-carbon floors must be developed and implemented. Among these strategies, the reuse of existing components is a promising circular approac ...
Novus Press2023Hysteretic behaviour of welded connections with highly inelastic panel zones
Dimitrios Lignos, Andronikos Skiadopoulos
The current practice in capacity-designed steel moment resisting frames (MRFs) worldwide allows for limitedshear yielding in the column web panel zone. As such, inelastic deformations concentrate near the beam ends, thereby leading to flexural stre ...
Ernst & Sohn2023Experimental testing and structural analysis of composite tile – reinforced concrete domes
Conventional formworks for concrete curved shells either are expensive, complex and wasteful or have formal restrictions. Using tile vaults (also known as timbrel, Guastavino, thin-tile or Catalan vaults) as stay-in-place formwork for concrete shells could ...
2023Correlation between sonic pulse velocity and flat-jack tests for the estimation of the elastic properties of unreinforced brick masonry: Case studies from Croatia
Historic urban cores in southern Europe are characterized by a significant number of existing unreinforced masonry structures that are known for their seismic vulnerability. The first step in the preservation of such damaged buildings is condition assessme ...
2023Towards instability-free welded moment connections
Dimitrios Lignos, Andronikos Skiadopoulos
In capacity-designed steel moment resisting frames (MRFs), inelastic deformations are mostly concentrated in the steel beams and the column fixed ends of the first story, while the participation of the panel zones in energy dissipation is limited. In such ...
2023Punching of edge columns with and without shear reinforcement: an experimental investigation
Aurelio Muttoni, Diego Hernández Fraile, Andri Setiawan, Júlia Borges Dos Santos
Most research efforts in the past related to the punching resistance of reinforced concrete slabs have concentrated on the response of internal slab-column connections, where significant advances in the state-of-the-art have been performed. Other than inte ...
Fédération Internationale du Béton (fib)2022Deformation capacity evaluation for flat slab seismic design
Aurelio Muttoni, Lorenzo Martinelli, António Manuel Pinho Ramos, Andri Setiawan
In flat-slab frames, which are typically designed as secondary seismic structures, the shear failure of the slab around the column (punching failure) is typically the governing failure mode which limits the deformation capacity and can potentially lead to ...
SPRINGER2022Zürich Stadtspital Triemli Personalhäuser – Resource assessment of structural elements
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Maléna Bastien Masse, Célia Marine Küpfer, Julie Rachel Devènes
The Triemli Personalhäuser are three equal 15-story buildings located on the Zürich Triemli Stadtspital campus and erected between 1964 and 1969. Cast-in-place reinforced concrete (RC) slabs and walls form the building cores and their surrounding corridors ...
EPFL2022A new perspective on the punching resistance of edge columns with and without shear reinforcement applying refined measurement techniques
Aurelio Muttoni, Diego Hernández Fraile
Despite edge columns being instrumental components of flat slabs, most punching research has focused on internal connections. Several particularities of edge columns, such as load eccentricity and moment transfer, require additional experimental investigat ...
