Reinforced concrete slabs supported on columns fail by punching when a conical plug of concrete perforates the slab above the column. This failure has been mostly investigated experimentally, so what can numerical simulation contribute to understand this p ...
Knowledge of the mechanical properties, i.e. strength, stiffness and deformation capacity, of cementitious materials at any arbitrary time is fundamental for operations such as removal of formwork, prestressing or cracking control. This paper presents a st ...
Due to their aesthetic and structural advantages, tubular space truss structures are enjoying increasing popularity in modern bridge construction. The use of cast steel nodes for the joints between the circular hollow section members is also becoming incre ...
This paper reports on a structural concept for engineering structures composed of FRP components to provide system ductility that compensates for the lack of material ductility inherent to FRP materials. The concept includes the use of redundant structural ...
The paper presents a study on the tensile behavior of UHPC conducted at the structural concrete laboratory at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL). Material tests and tests on structural members with reinforcement bars have been per ...
International Symposium on Ultra High Performance Concrete2004
New structural materials can potentially change the technics and economics of the building and construction industry in a profound way. It is important to identify applications and develop forms that exploit a material's unique properties. The developer of ...
Rehabilitation projects aim to enhance durability and to ensure structural safety. Ultra-High Per-formance Fibre Reinforced Concretes (UHPFRC) may fulfil these requirements when used as conservation materials. The structural response of composite UHPFRC-c ...
Combined loading and climatic effects associated with the choice of high modulus bituminous mixtures, in order to prevent the pavements from rutting, have increased the risk of cracking failure in the bituminous layers. It was decided, in 1989, to start a ...
