Three different carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) systems were used to reinforce new or strengthen existing concrete slabs against punching. Untensioned CFRP plates or only very low prestressed CFRP straps could not prevent brittle punching failure. S ...
This paper focuses on the numerical modelling of SentryGlas-laminated reinforced glass beams. In these beams, which have been experimentally investigated in preceding research, a stainless steel reinforcement section is laminated at the inner recessed edge ...
This paper describes an experimental study of two joint configurations, one with only reinforced polymer concrete (RPC) infill, the other with RPC infill and bonded GRP plates, to overcome shear and moment discontinuities in GRP bridge decks transverse to ...
The aim of the present thesis is to provide a numerical tool for the mechanical modeling of dynamic failure in concrete. This widely used construction material is characterized by a non-linear failure behavior, which is consequently difficult to describe w ...
Punching of flat slabs without transverse reinforcement has mostly been investigated in the past for slabs with equal reinforcement ratios in the two directions and loaded under axis-symmetrical conditions. However, in practice, slab bridges as well as man ...
From airplanes to sailboats to bridges, composite materials have become a significant part of our everyday structures. With increasing demand, these materials are pushed to their limits to improve structural efficiency. As a consequence, research and devel ...
We propose a finite element approximation of a system of partial differential equations describing the coupling between the propagation of electrical potential and large deformations of the cardiac tissue. The underlying mathematical model is based on the ...
Ultra-High Performance Fibre-Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) is a promising building material for applications where high compressive and tensile strengths, deformability and increased durability are required. Especially for the rehabilitation of existing str ...
While most current building simulation tools consider occupants as predictable robots the true nature of human behaviour is more complex. This article describes a set of stochastic models aimed at capturing this complexity by decoupling occupant presence f ...
This work addresses nonlinear finite element analysis of laminated structures with weak interfaces. Considered first are shallow laminated beams subject to arbitrary large displacements, small layer strains and moderate interface slippage. Under these requ ...
