Structural testing is probably the best and only way to reveal the actual performance of composite laminates, structural components, and complete composite structures under fatigue loading. Nevertheless, the high cost, and the multitude of loading cases a ...
Large efforts have been devoted in the past to understanding size effect in shear failures of members without transverse reinforcement. Experimental works have demonstrated that increasing the size reduces the nominal shear strength provided that the failu ...
Over the past two decades, a substantial amount of research has investigated the effects of thermal loads associated with the geothermal operation of energy piles on their mechanical response. Based on this research, consensus about the need for considerin ...
Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (FRC) toughness parameters, crucial for structural design, can be obtained either by using load–deflection or load–crack opening displacement(COD) relationships. Therefore, determination of midspan-deflection under a given crack w ...
"UHPFRC" stands for Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composite materials. UHPFRC - complemented with steel reinforcing bars - serves as an external reinforcement increasing the ultimate flexural and shear resistances as well as the fati ...
Since the first applications of structural concrete, the shear behaviour of one-way slabs without transverse reinforcement has been largely investigated. Nevertheless, currently in the scientific community there is no general agreement on the mechanisms of ...
Designing new concrete members and assessing the strength of existing elements subjected to in-plane stress state conditions is often conducted by means of Stress Fields (SF) and Strut-and-Tie Models (STM). These methods are usually accounting for identica ...
T-beams are acknowledged as economic and efficient structural members widely used for floor slab construction systems. In many cases, according to practice in some countries, the beams do not present transverse reinforcement, and their shear strength is go ...
The estimation of the vertical displacement of energy pile groups subjected to thermal (and mechanical) loads is needed for a complete geotechnical and structural design of the piles in situations where these foundations may be located sufficiently close t ...
‘Structural UHPFRC’ stands for Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composite material, that is, complemented by reinforcing steel bars forming a R-UHPFRC layer with the goal to enhance the resistance and durability of structural elements i ...
