Practical and material orientated academic research has become increasingly important for architectural practice. This is due to several reasons. First of all, it contributes to contemporary concepts in architecture and improves their implementation. Today ...
In order to meet the demands of sustainable development the range of cementitious materials used will need to become more diverse. To master the use of this range of materials, modelling has an essential role to play in linking composition and processing t ...

The use of the structural adhesive bonding technique is well established in the aircraft and automotive industries where, in most cases, joints can be fabricated indoors under controlled conditions. In the civil engineering domain, however, load-bearing st ...
A reinforcing element (10) for structural concrete construction comprising a rod- shaped bar (1 1 ) having a cross-sectional enlargement on at least one end thereof. The rod shaped member (11 ) comprises an elbow portion (12) on said at least one end being ...
The physical modeling tests for the rehabilitation of St-Marc Dam with a PKW are presented. A particular focus is put on the energy dissipation downstream from the PKW. The adopted solution is a leaned “ski-jump gutter” placed at the contact line between t ...
In the second half of the 20th century, the majority of residential buildings in Switzerland have been built with unreinforced brick masonry walls and reinforced concrete floors. Following a re-evaluation of the seismic hazard in Switzerland, a country of ...
In Switzerland, the current code for structural concrete published in 2003 privileged an incremental approach for design of new members or for assessment of existing structures with respect to a number of topics (shear, buckling, reinforcement detailing th ...
The provisions for punching shear around concentrated loads in the new Model Code 2010 (MC2010) have been updated, covering a large number of design cases such as slabs with and without transverse reinforcement, different column/slab geometries and prestre ...
The present research improves the experimental and theoretical knowledge on the behaviour of structural elements made of ultra high performance fibre reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) with ordinary reinforcement. UHPFRC is a recently developed material with muc ...
A multifunctional all-FRP joint has been developed for the transfer of bending moments and shear forces in thermal insulation sections of concrete slab structures used in building construction. Tensile forces from moments are transferred by horizontal GFRP ...
