Development of a methodology for extreme flood estimation

Anton Schleiss, Javier García Hernández, Frédéric Jordan, Fränz Zeimetz, Guillaume Mathieu Artigue, Ramona Georgeta Receanu

The development of a methodology for extreme flood estimation is the aim of the project CRUEX++. This project follows the CRUEX project which aimed at the development of a PMP-PMF methodology (PMP=Probable Maximum precipitation, PMF=Probable Maximum Flood) ...

Shear strength evaluation of RC bridge deck slabs according to CSCT with multi – layered shell elements and PARC_CL Crack Model

Aurelio Muttoni, Raffaele Cantone, Beatrice Belletti

The shear resistance of RC slabs without shear reinforcement subjected to concentrated loads near linear support is usually calibrated on the base of tests on one – way slabs with rectangular cross section. However, the actual behavior of slabs subjected t ...

Room temperature concurrent formation of ultra-dense arrays of ferroelectric domain walls

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev, Petr Yudin, Ludwig Feigl, Mahamudu Mtebwa, Konstantin Shapovalov

Properties of ferroelectric domain walls are attractive for future nano- and optoelectronics. An important element is the potential to electrically erase/rewrite domain walls inside working devices. Dense domain wall patterns, formed upon cooling through t ...

Modelling the seismic response of modern URM buildings retrofitted by adding RC walls

Katrin Beyer, Alessandro Paparo

Modern unreinforced masonry buildings with reinforced concrete slabs are often retrofitted by inserting reinforced concrete walls. The main advantages of this technique are the increase in strength and displacement capacity with respect to masonry structur ...
