Steel-concrete composite bridges with twin-I steel girders and prefabricated slabs constitute an economical and competitive solution for small and medium bridge spans. In recent years they have started to gain their share in the construction market. Howeve ...
The chiral lattice is a unique structural network not symmetric to its mirror image, and with a negative Poisson’s ratio. Previous investigations have considered this structural network for the design of superior structural components with sandwich constru ...
Being good structural replacement for other conventional material, the pultruded glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) profiles are being increasingly used in civil engineering structures. The connection between components is considered the most suspect ar ...
In order to optimize the load-bearing behavior of sandwich structures and adapt it to specific requirements, their core may be composed of layers of different materials with tailored properties. These layers may consist not only of soft foam or honeycomb m ...
This paper presents experimental and analytical investigations about the creep behaviour of sandwich panels comprising glass-fibre reinforced polymer faces and rigid polyurethane foam core for civil engineering applications. A full-scale sandwich panel was ...
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sandwich structures offer several advantages compared to structures made of traditional materials, such as high specific strength, good corrosion resistance, low thermal conductivity and rapid component installation. In this ...
Interfacial debonding is one of the most critical damage modes that threatens the structural performance of sandwich composites. In this work, integrated multiplexed fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors of 1 mm gauge length are used for detection and characte ...
Nowadays, composite materials are increasingly used in high technology fields such as aerospace and automotive because of the combination of excellent mechanical performance and lightweight. For these characteristics, classical metal alloys are progressive ...
Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concretes (UHPFRC) are characterised by high mechanical performance, extremely low permeability and tensile strain hardening. For structural applications, in composite structures they are very well adapted for reinfo ...
The Opalinus Clay is a potential host rock for radioactive waste repositories. Triaxial tests at different load levels and directions carried out on Opalinus clay showed that the mechanical behaviour of this soft rock is anisotropic. The stiffer samples ar ...
