FRP-balsa composite sandwich bridge deck with complex core configuration

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Julia De Castro San Roman Fest, Michael Osei-Antwi

The aim of this work was to investigate to what extent the performance of a glass fiberreinforced polymer (GFRP) sandwich slab-bridge with uniform high-density balsa core could be improved in terms of structural efficiency and weight thanks to a more compl ...

Structural performance of complex core systems for FRP-balsa composite sandwich bridge decks

Michael Osei-Antwi

Based on current fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite construction principles, FRP decks fall into two categories: pultruded decks and sandwich decks. Sandwich decks comprise face sheets and either honeycombs or foams reinforced with internal FRP webs ...

Simulation of steady-state extrusion through a hollow die using HyperXtrude FE software

Ke Huang, Gang Liu, Jian Zhou, Jie Zhou

The design of dies for the light-metal extrusion process is based primarily on the experience of the die designer. The performance of the die is only known after the die is manufactured and tested on the extrusion press. It is still a major challenge for t ...

Poinçonnement non symétrique des dalles en béton armé

Luca Tassinari

Punching shear of reinforced concrete flat slabs supported on columns is a failure mode in which the slab fractures around the column. This type of failure is sudden and can be catastrophic in nature. Punching shear generally governs the ultimate limit sta ...

Towards microstructured glazing for daylighting and thermal control

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Andreas Schueler, André Gabriel Kostro, Mario Geiger

Glass is a central element to modern architecture and can cover up to 100% of a building façade. The main purpose of large glazed areas is to create bright, comfortable and healthy spaces. It was shown that increasing natural light in offices reduces sickn ...
