Investigation of fatigue damage in a RC deck slab due to moving loads through long-term monitoring of a road viaduct

Eugen Brühwiler, Imane Bayane

The behavior of reinforced-concrete structural elements under moving loads involves many complex parameters related to material properties, vehicle loading, environmental changes and structural response. It is difficult to generate the real conditions of l ...

A Contribution to the Design of Textile Reinforced Concrete Structures

Patrick Lorenzo Valeri

The reduction of green-house gas emissions is one of the global challenges that our society is facing and the production of cement plays a major role because concrete is the most used material worldwide. For every 1000 kg of cement produced, 900 kg of CO2, ...

The compressive resistance of concrete in new structures is usually characterized on the basis of tests performed on concrete cylinders or cubes under relatively rapid loading conditions. Although efficient for material characterization, these tests do not ...

Environmental impacts and decarbonization strategies in the cement and concrete industries

Karen Scrivener, Aurélie Rosine Favier

The use of cement and concrete, among the most widely used man-made materials, is under scrutiny. Owing to their large-scale use, production of cement and concrete results in substantial emission of greenhouse gases and places strain on the availability of ...

By studying approximately a century of cement and concrete in Switzerland, this project examines the relations between institutions, discourse, and technology as they intersect in the material. The project is framed so that the establishment of organizatio ...

Understanding the carbonation of concrete with supplementary cementitious materials: a critical review by RILEM TC 281-CCC

Karen Scrivener, Barbara Lothenbach

Blended cements, where Portland cement clinker is partially replaced by supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), provide the most feasible route for reducing carbon dioxide emissions associated with concrete production. However, lowering the clinker co ...

Characterization of interfacial transition zone in concrete prepared with carbonated modeled recycled concrete aggregates

Karen Scrivener

Treatment by accelerated carbonation has been widely studied to enhance the quality of recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) and hence the performance of new concrete produced with the RCA. This is often ascribed to the densification of RCA. This study invest ...

The influence of casting position and disturbance induced by reinforcement on the structural concrete strength

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Francesco Rafael Alberto Moccia

It is well known that control specimens used to assess the concrete strength of new structures have different casting and curing conditions than those of actual structures. Notably, after pouring of the concrete and before its hardening, a number of phenom ...

“STRUCTURAL UHPFRC” TO ENHANCE BRIDGES

Eugen Brühwiler

“Structural UHPFRC” stands for Ultra-High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composite material that is complemented by reinforcing and prestressing steel to enhance the resistance and durability of structural elements. Properties of impermeable, te ...

RILEM Publications S.A.R.L.2018

This work studies the effect on Embodied Energy (EE) of concrete when Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) is partially substituted with natural Pozzolanic Volcanic Ash (VA) at the material and the building scale. The work aims to demonstrate potential improveme ...
