Performance assessment of through-tenon timber joints under tension loads

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 tensile loads. Four beech LVL timber specimen groups with variations in the fiber orientation, and the tab insertion angle (45°, and 60°) are ...

Thermodynamic re-assessment of the Zn–P binary system

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Elias Zsolt Stutz, Mahdi Zamani, Simon Robert Escobar Steinvall

Thermodynamic phase diagrams are the cornerstones to develop synthesis of new materials. Zinc phosphide has evolved into a prospective semicontuctor for next generation solar cells, thanks to its abundance and functional properties. Here we derive an optim ...

How accurate is visual determination of foot strike pattern and pronation assessment

Kamiar Aminian, Frédéric Meyer, Grégoire Millet, Mathieu Pascal Falbriard

Nowadays, choosing adequate running shoes is very difficult, due to the high number of different designs. Nevertheless, shoes have two main characteristics to fit runners' technique and morphology: drop and arch support. Retailers' advices are usually base ...

On the Soil-Structure Interaction of Surface Strip Footings at Ultimate Limit State

Lyesse Laloui, Cristiano Garbellini

Theoretical methods for estimating the bearing capacity of surface strip footings usually do not consider soil-structure interaction. A few publications deal with the subject, but all of these either do not apply rigorous methods or do not consider the gen ...

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 ...
