Im Rahmen eines europäischen Forschungsprojektes unter Federführung der École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) wurde ein vierstöckiges Gebäude mit Mauerwerks-und Stahlbetonwänden auf dem Rütteltisch des TREES-Labors am EUCENTRE in Pavia (Italien) ...
Roman concrete was used as building material during Roman Imperial times for a great number of famous constructions with different functions. Well-known examples are aqueducts, for example the Pont du Gard in France and the Aqua Alexandrina in Rome, and nu ...
We investigate the dynamic behavior of concrete in relation to its composition within a computational framework (FEM). Concrete is modeled using a meso-mechanical approach in which aggregates and mortar are represented explicitly. Both continuum phases are ...
An original concept is presented for the durable rehabilitation and strengthening of concrete structures. The main idea is to use Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) complemented with steel reinforcing bars to “harden” and strengthen ...
This paper investigates the shear strength of beams and one-way slabs without stirrups based on the opening of a critical shear crack. The shear-carrying mechanisms after the development of this crack are investigated. On this basis, a rational model is de ...
It is recognized that most damage to reinforced concrete structures is caused by insufficient durability rather than by low strength. In most cases, the quality and thickness of the cover concrete (‘‘covercrete’’) determine the service life of the structur ...
The GENE/GIST code package is developed for the investigation of plasma microturbulence, suitable for both stellarator and tokamak configurations. The geometry module is able to process typical equilibrium files and create the interface for the gyrokinetic ...
A new connection system for a concrete filled steel tube composite column and reinforced concrete beams is proposed. In this connection, the steel tube is interrupted while the reinforced concrete beams are continuous in the joint zone. Multiple lateral ho ...
Structural elements combining Ultra-High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concretes (UHPFRC)and concrete offer a high potential in view of rehabilitation and modification of existing structures. The investigation of the time-dependent behavior of composite “UH ...
order to manage structures effectively and to reduce this burden to the minimum, the number and extent of interventions have to be kept to the lowest possible level. The extremely low permeability of Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concretes (UHPFR ...
