RE:SLAB — a load bearing system for open-ended component reuse in building structures

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Dario Redaelli, Alex-Manuel Muresan, Edisson Xavier Estrella Arcos

The construction industry plays a major role in the high levels of greenhouse gas emissions, resource consumption, and waste generation observed nowadays. Key to the circular economy, structural component reuse arises as a promising solution to divert cons ...

Exergy and exergoeconomic analyses of sustainable furfural production via reactive distillation

François Maréchal

Lignocellulosic biomass is a potential renewable resource for production of high-value, sustainable products. Furfural is among the important bio-based chemicals in biorefineries. However, the conventional process of furfural production using a reaction-se ...

Influence of embedded steel column base strength on earthquake-induced residual deformations

Dimitrios Lignos, Hiroyuki Inamasu

Recent experiments on steel columns under multi-axis cyclic loading suggest that a steel column may experience appreciable axial shortening due to local buckling. Reconnaissance reports from recent earthquakes indicate that a number of embedded column base ...

Effect of Column Base Flexibility on the Hysteretic Response of Wide Flange Steel Columns

Dimitrios Lignos, Hiroyuki Inamasu

Recent experiments on wide flange steel columns subjected to multi-axial cyclic loading underscore the influence of the member end boundary conditions on strength and stiffness deterioration due to coupling of local and lateral torsional buckling. Field ob ...

Non-axis-symmetrical punching shear around internal columns of RC slabs without transverse reinforcement

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Juan Sagaseta Albajar, Luca Tassinari

Most analytical approaches and available test data for punching shear in flat slabs assume axis-symmetrical conditions, which seems realistic for representing slabs supported on columns equally spaced in both orthogonal directions. However, in practice, th ...

Surface DBD’s and plasma-flow interaction

Christoph Hollenstein, Peter Ott, Pénélope Leyland, Philip Peschke, Sami Goekce, Samantha Pavon

Surface Dielelectric Barrier Discharges (DBD) are becoming very attractive in the field of flow control technologies for their promising effects on stabilising separating flows, at least at low speeds under the so-called ionic wind effect. Numerous experim ...

Fire endurance performance of cellular GFRP columns with water-cooling system

Thomas Keller, Christian Ludwig, Yu Bai

Experimental results on the fire endurance of full-scale glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite columns are reported in this paper. The pultruded four-cell profiles were first loaded to axial compression (uniform serviceability stress of 5 MPa) an ...

New Connection System for Confined Concrete Columns and Beams. II: Theoretical Modeling

Yu Bai

The concept of confined concrete has been widely accepted throughout the structural engineering field, such as the spiral, steel tube, or carbon fiber composite shell confined concrete, etc. In the present study, this concept has not only been used in the ...

Cellular composites based on continuous fibres and bioresorbable polymers

Pierre-Etienne Bourban

Biocompatible composites, whose porosity and fibre fraction call be tailored over a large range and whose mechanical resistance is comparable to that Of natural bone, were processed with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and continuous glass fibres. The processing s ...
