Shear in reinforced concrete without transverse reinforcement

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 ...

Seismic response of core walls – open questions after the earthquakes in Chile and New Zealand

Katrin Beyer

Recent earthquakes in Chile (2010, M 8.8) and New Zealand (2011, M 6.3) have shown that, despite many years of extensive research and subsequent design code advancements, several modern reinforced concrete walls underperformed or even failed during these s ...

Static and Fatigue Shear Strength of Reinforced Concrete Slabs Under Concentrated Loads Near Linear Supports

Francisco Manuel Maciel Natário

Reinforced concrete slabs without shear reinforcement under concentrated loads near linear supports are typical cases of bridge deck slabs, transfer slabs or pile caps. Such members are often designed or assessed in shear/punching shear with code provision ...

Structural performance of complex core systems for FRP-balsa composite sandwich bridge decks

Michael Osei-Antwi

Based on current fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite construction principles, FRP decks fall into two categories: pultruded decks and sandwich decks. Sandwich decks comprise face sheets and either honeycombs or foams reinforced with internal FRP webs ...

Finite Element Analysis for Fatigue Damage Reduction in Metallic Riveted Bridges Using Pre-Stressed CFRP Plates

Alain Nussbaumer, Masoud Motavalli, Gary Scott Prinz, Andrin Herwig, Mario Fontana, Elyas Ghafoori, Emmanuel Mayor

Many old riveted steel bridges remain operational and require retrofit to accommodate ever increasing demands. Complicating retrofit efforts, riveted steel bridges are often considered historical structures where structural modifications that affect the or ...

Understanding Poor Seismic Performance of Concrete Walls and Design Implications

Katrin Beyer

The 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes in New Zealand revealed (1) improved structural response resulting from historical design advancements, (2) poor structural performance due to previously identified shortcomings that had been insufficiently addressed in ...

Performance of reinforced concrete walls under seismic loading—Research projects at EPFL and future research needs

Katrin Beyer, João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida, Angelica Rosso, Raluca-Tereza Constantin, Ovidiu Prodan

Reinforced concrete (RC) walls are frequently used as lateral stiffness and strength-providing members in RC buildings. If well detailed and designed according to capacity design rules, RC walls can lead to a very robust behavior and stable cyclic response ...
