Poinçonnement non symétrique des dalles en béton armé

Luca Tassinari

Punching shear of reinforced concrete flat slabs supported on columns is a failure mode in which the slab fractures around the column. This type of failure is sudden and can be catastrophic in nature. Punching shear generally governs the ultimate limit sta ...

Post-punching behavior of reinforced concrete slabs

Yaser Mirzaei

Reinforced concrete flat slabs are extensively used in buildings and parking garages. Their design is governed by deflection at the serviceability limit state and punching shear at the ultimate limit state. When no punching shear reinforcement is provided, ...

Shear resistance of lightweight concrete core of FRP-concrete sandwich structure

Thomas Keller, Till Vallée, Erika Schaumann

This paper presents a model to predict the shear resistance of the unreinforced lightweight concrete core of a recently developed hybrid sandwich concept for bridge decks. The sandwich skins consist of a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite sheet for t ...

Shear strength of members without transverse reinforcement as function of critical shear crack width

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz

This paper investigates the shear strength of beams and one-way slabs without stirrups based on the opening of a critical shear crack. The shear-carrying mechanisms after the development of this crack are investigated. On this basis, a rational model is de ...

Shear strength of reinforced concrete bridge deck slabs

Rui Vaz Rodrigues

Reinforced concrete bridge deck slabs without shear reinforcement can be subjected to concentrated or distributed loads of important magnitude. Under these loads their structural response is not always ductile. In particular under concentrated loads their ...

Concrete Cracking in Tension Members and Application to Deck Slabs of Bridges

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz

Currently, estimations of the crack width in the deck slab of bridges given by codes of practice are based on either theoretical or empirical approaches considering mainly the monotonic loading behaviour. However, cracking in reinforced tensile members is ...

Poinçonnement symétrique des dalles en béton armé

Stefano Guandalini

Punching of reinforced concrete and prestressed slabs is usually a critical failure mode for the design and verification of structures such as flat slabs or bridge slabs. Although codes of practice propose several rules for common cases (usually with an em ...

Composite action of FRP bridge decks adhesively bonded to steel main girders

Herbert Gürtler

Up until today reinforced concrete has been used in most cases for the manufacturing of bridge decks. Depending on the quality of the work carried out, defects can already occur after only a few years. These defects mostly appear in the form of corrosion o ...

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 ...

Connexions par adhérence pour les ponts mixtes acier-béton

Michel Thomann

When building new bridge structures, or widening or replacing existing bridges, the duration of on site work has a significant influence not only on the costs, but also on the potentially harmful effects (noise, pollution, traffic jam, deviation) of the co ...
