Enhanced safety with post-installed shear reinforcement

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz

The safety of existing concrete slabs against shear may be insufficient for several reasons such as design and construction errors, structural modifications or increased loads. Moreover, the knowledge about shear design has significantly increased over the ...

Shear strength of thin-webbed post-tensioned beams

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz

This paper investigates the load-carrying mechanisms and the strength of thin-webbed, post-tensioned beams failing by crushing of the web. The shear strength in these members is significantly reduced because of the state of cracking in the web and because ...

Joining Wood by Friction Welding - Fabrication of Multi- layered Components

Yves Weinand, Bernhard Stamm

Since decades traditional friction welding methods are applied industrially to metal and thermoplastic synthetics. Research showed that for different applications this method is promising for wood too. The process does not necessitate any additional materi ...

Shear strength of URM walls retrofitted using FRP

Pierino Lestuzzi, Marc Badoux, Mohamed Elgawady

This paper compares different models currently used to calculate the shear strength of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls retrofitted using fiber reinforced polymers (URM-FRP). The shear strengths of six recently tested URM-FRP walls were compared to shear s ...
