Addressing the need to monitor concrete fatigue with Non Destructive Testing: results of Infrastar European project

Eugen Brühwiler, Imane Bayane, Antoine Bassil, Xiao Wang

Fatigue is one of the most prevalent issues, which directly influences the service life expectancy of concrete structures. Fatigue has been investigated for years for steel structures. However, recent findings suggest that concrete structures may also be s ...

Application of pre-stressed un-bonded CFRP for strenghthening of metallic structures

Ardalan Hosseini, Elyas Ghafoori

Application of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites for retrofitting reinforced concrete structures has been extensively investigated and used in practice. Many studies demonstrated the beneficial influence of such composite materials for the ...

Experimental tests on the out-of-plane response of RC columns subjected to cyclic tensile-compressive loading

Katrin Beyer, João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida, Angelica Rosso, Lisandro Arturo Jimenez Roa

Over the last few years the increasing demand of housing for low income population in Colombia and several neighboring countries, associated to the significant increase of cost of land, has prompted construction companies to build medium to high rise reinf ...

Experimental Study on Cyclic Behaviors and Restoring Force Characteristics of Concrete Filled Steel Tube Columns Using Ultra-High Strength Steel

Hiroyuki Inamasu

H-SA700 is a type of new ultra-high-strength structural steel that is more environmentally friendly and more suitable for mass production than conventional high-strength steel. The objective of this paper is to contribute to the practical application of CF ...

Experimental Behavior of Concrete-Filled Steel Tube Columns Using Ultrahigh-Strength Steel

Hiroyuki Inamasu

Concrete-filled steel tube (CFT) columns offer significant advantages over columns made of either steel or concrete alone, such as large energy dissipation and increased strength and stiffness. To further improve the seismic performance of these columns, a ...

Compressive Membrane Action Effects on Punching Strength of Flat RC Slabs

Aurelio Muttoni, Raffaele Cantone, Beatrice Belletti, Luca Manelli

The design of reinforced concrete flat slabs in practice can be governed at failure by punching shear close to concentrated loads or columns. Punching shear resistance formulations provided by codes are calibrated on the basis of experimental tests on isol ...

Derivation of the σ-w relationship for SFRC from prism bending tests

Aurelio Muttoni

The material characterization of steel fibre-reinforced concrete (SFRC), which is required for its implementation in design codes, should be based on nominal properties that describe its postcracking strength in tension. In the case of brittle and quasi-br ...

Advanced fatigue theory and structural response monitoring for safety verification of existing RC slabs subject to railway traffic

Vasileios Grigoriou

Experience has shown that when the models and methods that have been developed for the design of new structures are âblindlyâ used for the examination of existing ones, the management of civil infrastructure lacks substantially in financial efficiency ...
