Steel-Concrete Connections by Adhesion, Interlocking, and Friction for Composite Bridges under Cyclic Loading

This paper deals with of a new type of steel-concrete connection for composite beams. The connection is an alternative solution for steel-concrete composite bridges suitable for prefabrication and fast erection. The composite action of the beam is establis ...

Lateral Torsional Buckling of steel bridge girders

Jean-Paul Lebet, Raphaël Thiébaud

The Lateral Torsional Buckling (L.T.B.) design of beams in buildings has received considerable attention over the last decades, and relatively similar improved design rules are now implemented in major design standards. On the contrary, it may be shown tha ...

Exploratory experimental investigations on post-tensioned structural glass beams

Jean-Paul Lebet, Pieter Christian Louter, Jagoda Cupac

The mechanical response of post-tensioned glass beams is explored in this paper. This is done through bending experiments on post-tensioned glass beam specimens with either mechanically anchored or adhesively bonded steel tendons by which a beneficial pre- ...

Experimental investigation and modelling of the structural behaviour of confined grouted interfaces for a new steel–concrete connection

Jean-Paul Lebet, Dimitrios Papastergiou

Confined interfaces between cement grout and other materials such as embossed steel or rough concrete are formed in an innovative new steel-concrete connection for composite bridges. This article presents the experimental study of such interfaces and inves ...

Design and experimental verification of an innovative steel–concrete composite beam

Jean-Paul Lebet, Dimitrios Papastergiou

This paper deals with the design method and the experimental verification of a new type of steel–concrete composite beam under static and fatigue loading. The connection is an alternative solution for steel–concrete composite bridges suitable for prefabric ...

Resistance to LTB of steel bridge girders

Jean-Paul Lebet, Raphaël Thiébaud

Lateral torsional buckling (LTB), a complex phenomenon of instability, occurs when a beam is solicited by a bending force. In the area of steel and composite bridges girders which are characterised by slender plate girders, few experimental and theoretical ...

Experimental and numerical characterisation of heat flow during flame cutting of thick steel plates

Jean-Marie Drezet, Jean-Paul Lebet, Raphaël Thiébaud

Temperatures measurements during flame cutting of a thick steel plate and measurements of the extension of the fusion and heat affected zones and Vickers hardness after cutting have been performed. Additionally, a 3-D thermal model for simulation of flame- ...

Investigation of a new steel-concrete connection for composite bridges

Jean-Paul Lebet, Dimitrios Papastergiou

A new type of connection for steel-concrete composite bridges was developed by the Steel Structures Laboratory of Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. Resistance to longitudinal shear is based on the development of shear stresses in the confined inter ...

Strength of glass determined by the relation of the critical flaw to the fracture mirror

Jean-Paul Lebet, Maria Lindqvist

Tensile strength of structural glass elements is highly influenced by flaws. For this paper, the study concentrates on the fracture origin i.e. the critical flaw, situated at the edge of a glass element. In the current study the influence of two different ...
