Uncertainties in the Seismic Assessment of Historical Masonry Buildings

Katrin Beyer, Francesco Vanin, Igor Tomic

Seismic assessments of historical masonry buildings are affected by several sources of epistemic uncertainty. These are mainly the material and the modelling parameters and the displacement capacity of the elements. Additional sources of uncertainty lie i ...

Casting position effects on bond performance of reinforcement bars

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Francesco Rafael Alberto Moccia

The phenomena associated with the consolidation of fresh concrete (bleeding and plastic settlement) are commonly considered significant for the bond performance of reinforcement. However, rules to take care of such influence for design are not consistent a ...

Origami-inspired carbon fiber-reinforced composite sandwich materials - Fabrication and mechanical behavior

Thomas Keller, Yuntong Du

A folding fabrication method inspired by origami for carbon fiber-reinforced composites to fabricate three-dimensional structures is presented. PMI foams serve as substrates, making it possible to manufacture this kind of origami-inspired composite sandwic ...

Micromechanical modeling of snow failure

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume, Jürg Schweizer, Grégoire Bobillier, Alec van Herwijnen

Dry-snow slab avalanches start with the formation of a local failure in a highly porous weak layer underlying a cohesive snow slab. If followed by rapid crack propagation within the weak layer and finally a tensile fracture through the slab, a slab avalanc ...

A state of the art of flat-slab frame tests for gravity and lateral loading

Aurelio Muttoni, António Manuel Pinho Ramos

This paper presents a critical review of the state of the art of experimental research concerning the seismic response of reinforced concrete flat slab frames. After a summary of tests on connections, the paper examines tests carried out on frames with gra ...

Statistical Fatigue Investigation and Failure Prediction of a Healable Composite System

Véronique Michaud, Amaël Maximilien Cohades

Fiber reinforced polymers are massively used as an alternative to metals in structural applications. The brittle nature of their matrix, however, makes them more susceptible to crack formation and propagation resulting in costly repair operations and incre ...

Influence of cracking and rough surface properties on the transfer of forces in cracked concrete

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Max Tirassa

Aggregate interlocking is acknowledged as one of the most significant actions transferring shear forces in cracked concrete structures and has been investigated for several decades. Despite the many experimental programmes and previous efforts to develop m ...

Out-of-plane (flatwise) behavior of through-tenon connections using the integral mechanical attachment technique

Yves Weinand, Aryan Rezaei Rad, Henry V. Burton

This paper aims to characterize the force–deformation response of through-tenon wood-wood connections subjected to out-of-plane (flatwise) loads. Six beech LVL timber specimen groups with variations in the fiber orientation (parallel and perpendicular) and ...
