Low-tech methods for the reuse of reinforced concrete structural elements

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Maléna Bastien Masse, Nicole Widmer, Julie Rachel Devènes

Most of existing buildings are made of concrete, new buildings are being built with it and others are demolished when still in good structural condition. This drives increased demands for raw materials, greenhouse gas emissions, and an accumulation of demo ...

A Simple, Closed-Form Method for Determining the Superelevation of Tall Reinforced Concrete Buildings

David Michael Volpe Ruggiero, Paola Costanza Miglietta

The vertical shortening of tall buildings is not negligible, and it is important to account for these deformations to minimize differential movement and ensure that the finished building is level. Compensation via superelevation is common in reinforced con ...

Influence of sustained loading on resistance and deformation capacity of reinforced concrete members in compression

Aurelio Muttoni, Xhemsi Malja, Miguel Fernández Ruiz

As acknowledged explicitly or implicitly in most of current design codes, a high level of sustained loading has a detrimental effect on the concrete compressive strength. However, its beneficial effect in terms of deformation capacity is neglected in most ...

Distributed Fibre Optic Thermo-hygrometer for Monitoring the Concrete Curing

Luc Thévenaz, Kenny Hey Tow, Tiago Filipe Pimentel Das Neves

The moisture content in concrete is a critical parameter for most of the degradation processes such as shrinkage and cracking. In this paper, we present the first kilometre-range thermo-hygrometer for monitoring the concrete curing. ...

Validation of bond models for the crack width estimation based on detailed measurements

Aurelio Muttoni, Enrique Corres Sojo

Crack formation and development in reinforced concrete structures is a complex mechanism affected by a large number of factors. Typically, the estimation of the crack width as a function of the reinforce-ment stress state is based on simplified assumptions ...

Spalling of concrete cover induced by reinforcement

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Francesco Rafael Alberto Moccia

This paper investigates the phenomenon of cover spalling in reinforced concrete induced by bond or by the action of an inner pressure. This research is based on an experimental programme comprising a series of bond tests and a series of tests with inner-pr ...

An interlocking approach for the rebar-to-concrete contact in bond

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Max Tirassa

The bond response of deformed bars in structural concrete is a phenomenon governed, to a large extent, by the rib-to-concrete contact and interaction, with contact forces depending on both material properties and the kinematics between the contact surfaces ...
