Fatigue Damage Factor Calibration for Long-Span Cable-Stayed Bridge Decks

Alain Nussbaumer, José Joaquim Costa Branco de Oliveira Pedro, Cláudio Alexandre Pereira Baptista

Part 2 of the Eurocode 3 (EN 1993-2) proposes a straight forward fatigue verification method using a single heavy vehicle model (FLM3) and a damage equivalent factor, lambda, to represent the fatigue damaging effects of the real traffic on road bridges. Th ...

Folded-Tube Soft Pneumatic Actuators for Bending

Wyatt Marshall Felt

This article presents a model and experimental results for a new class of bending soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) made from a single section of thin-walled flexible tubing. The actuator is formed by creasing the tubing into fin-like rectangular folds and i ...

Composite steel beam database for seismic design and performance assessment of composite-steel moment-resisting frame systems

Dimitrios Lignos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady, Hammad El Jisr

This paper discusses the development of a publicly available database of composite steel beam-to-column connections under cyclic loading. The database is utilized to develop recommendations for the seismic design and nonlinear performance assessment of ste ...

Evaluation of Quasi-Static and Dynamic Fracture Toughness on the Low-Alloy Reactor Pressure Vessel Steel JRQ in the Transition Region

Philippe Spätig

Three point bending and impact tests with sub-sized Charpy specimens were performed on the JRQ reference steel for reactor pressure vessels. Quasi-static and dynamic fracture toughness data were calculated and the fracture behavior in the ductile to brittl ...

Experimental investigation of beams under coupled bending and torsion

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Nicolas Robin Montagne, Olivier Baverel

The design of doubly-curved systems called for innovative modelling techniques to evaluate the final geometry of the structure. They can simulate the behaviour of beams under large displacements. Even though it is never analysed, the deformation path is ca ...

Porto renaît. Piscine de Porto (Portugal)

Porto renaît, elle se reconstruit. Aujourd’hui, après des années d’oubli et d'abandon, la ville s’extrait brutalement de sa torpeur. Ce changement radical, porté par un tourisme grandissant, favorise la spéculation immobilière: les bâtiments abandonnés et ...

In Flagranti

Alexandre Blanc, Marco Bakker

The real now, which has a duration of about 3 seconds, is the moment in which what happened glides in to the past and becomes already history, whereas the future did not yet arrive. The real now and architecture. ...

Composite beam effects and implications to seismic design provisions

Dimitrios Lignos, Hammad El Jisr

Previous studies have investigated the slab effects on the cyclic behavior of composite beams in moment-resisting frames. Of interest in this paper, is the slab contribution to the flexural strength and effective stiffness of the beam. The former influence ...

Combining finite element analyses and mechanical models for the assessment of reinforced concrete slabs

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Raffaele Cantone

The influence of the level of deformation of the flexural reinforcement on the punching strength is well-established and mechanically founded since the pioneer works of Kinnunen and Nylander in the 1960’s. In code provisions, this influence is sometimes re ...

Shell Modelling Strategies for the Assessment of Punching Shear Resistance of Continuous Slabs

Aurelio Muttoni, Raffaele Cantone, Beatrice Belletti

The punching shear resistance formulation provided by Model Code 2010 is calibrated on the basis of experimental tests on isolated slabs supported on columns. According to Level of Approximation approach, several quantities are required for the design punc ...
