Static and Fatigue Shear Strength of Reinforced Concrete Slabs Under Concentrated Loads Near Linear Supports

Reinforced concrete slabs without shear reinforcement under concentrated loads near linear supports are typical cases of bridge deck slabs, transfer slabs or pile caps. Such members are often designed or assessed in shear/punching shear with code provision ...

Shear failures in reinforced concrete members without transverse reinforcement: An analysis of the critical shear crack development on the basis of test results

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Francesco Cavagnis

Shear in concrete members without transverse reinforcement can be carried by various potential sheartransfer actions, whose activation depends much on the actual cracking pattern and kinematics at failure. Failures can occur in a progressive manner (at the ...

Energy dissipation in web-flange junctions of pultruded GFRP decks

Thomas Keller, Julia De Castro San Roman Fest, Sonia Yanes Armas

The energy dissipation capacity resulting from progressive cracking of the web-flange junctions (WFJs) of a pultruded GFRP deck system was experimentally investigated. Web-cantilever bending experiments up to failure were performed on two WFJ types (IfO, I ...

Shear-Fatigue Behaviour of RC Cantilever Bridge Deck Slabs under Concentrated Loads

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Francisco Manuel Maciel Natário

Shear has been observed to be the governing failure mode of RC cantilever deck slabs of bridges without shear reinforcement when subjected to concentrated loads of heavy vehicles. This observation has been verified experimentally for a quasi-static applica ...

Core-shell InGaN/GaN nanowire light emitting diodes analyzed by electron beam induced current microscopy and cathodoluminescence mapping

Hua Zhang, Gwénolé Jean Jacopin

We report on the electron beam induced current (EBIC) microscopy and cathodoluminescence (CL) characterization correlated with compositional analysis of light emitting diodes based on core/shell InGaN/GaN nanowire arrays. The EBIC mapping of cleaved fully ...

Experimental investigation on fatigue of concrete cantilever bridge deck slabs subjected to concentrated loads

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Francisco Manuel Maciel Natário

Shear has been observed to be often the governing failure mode of RC cantilever deck slabs of bridges without shear reinforcement subjected to concentrated loads when tested under a quasi-static application of the load. However, concentrated loads of heavy ...

Punching strength of actual two-way slabs

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Jürgen Einpaul

Many building codes rely on empirical formulations with respect to the punching shear design provisions. Such empirical equations are typically calibrated on the basis of laboratory tests performed on simplified geometries (usually isolated specimens) with ...

Stress Fields for the analysis of the faillure load and cracking state of dapped-end beams (Aplicación de modelos de campos de tensiones para el análisis en servicio y rotura de apoyos a media madera)

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Jaime Mata Falcon

The automatic generation of elastic-plastic stress fields (EPSF) for structural concrete members by means of the finite element method has been demonstrated as a suitable approach for the design and assessment of D regions. This methodology allows accounti ...

A Microstructure-Based Model to Characterize Micromechanical Parameters Controlling Compressive and Tensile Failure in Crystallized Rock

Jian Zhao, Tohid Kazerani

A discrete element model is proposed to examine rock strength and failure. The model is implemented by UDEC which is developed for this purpose. The material is represented as a collection of irregular-sized deformable particles interacting at their cohesi ...
