An Analytical Method to Predict the Structural Behavior of Timber-Concrete Structures With Brittle-to-Ductile Shear Connector Laws

Eugen Brühwiler, Luca Sorelli

Timber-Concrete Composite (TCC) structures allow taking synergistic advantage of the properties of both materials to optimize the overall performances in terms of lightness, slenderness, acoustic insulation, vibrational behaviour and environmental footprin ...

Two-dimensional crack growth in FRP laminates and sandwich panels

Aida Cameselle Molares

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials are currently being selected for the design of lightweight and efficient structural members in a wide number of engineering applications. Sandwich panels with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) face she ...

Creep of Sandwich Panels with Longitudinal Reinforcement Ribs for Civil Engineering Applications: Experiments and Composite Creep Modeling

Thomas Keller, Mário Alexandre De Jesus Garrido

Composite sandwich panels with reinforcement ribs or webs are being increasingly considered for structural applications in civil engineering. Such panels are prone to creep when subjected to significant permanent loads and therefore the effects of this phe ...

Local structural effects in fiber-reinforced polymer web-core sandwich structures

Sonia Yanes Armas

Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) pultruded decks and sandwich panels currently represent two of the most extensive applications of FRP materials for load-bearing structural components in the bridge and building domains. Based on the state of the art, ...

Post-wrinkling behavior of webs in GFRP cell-core sandwich structures

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Behzad Dehghan Manshadi

Similarly to the post-buckling behavior of steel girder webs, the post-wrinkling behavior of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) cell-core sandwich webs can increase their ultimate shear strength. Post wrinkling is, however, different from post-buckling ...

Connection systems between composite sandwich floor panels and load-bearing walls for building rehabilitation

Thomas Keller, Mário Alexandre De Jesus Garrido

The use of advanced composites for building rehabilitation presents several advantages when compared with traditional construction materials. When degraded building floors need to be replaced, composite sandwich panels are a potentially interesting solutio ...

Structural concept and design of a GFRP-polyurethane sandwich roof structure

Thomas Keller, Sonia Yanes Armas

This work presents the concept and structural design of a 1000-m2 glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) sandwich roof replacing a timber roof over an indoor swimming pool. The advantages offered by the lightweight, multifunctional GFRP-polyurethane (PUR) s ...

Aiming to reduce costs, polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) film patches are an emerging alternative to more classic piezoelectric technologies, like ceramic patches, as transducers to measure local deformation in many structural applications. This choice is ...

Institute of Physics2015

Structural components used in civil engineering applications are often subjected to compressive loads. Unlike the tensile strength of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials, their compressive strength is resin-dominated, exhibiting lower values and more ...
