Deformation-dependent punching shear resistance often constitutes the decisive design criterion for reinforced concrete slabs supported by columns. The increasing number of aging structures exhibiting insufficient punching resistance and detailing deficien ...
Nanocrystalline (NC) metals have attracted widespread interest in materials science due to their high strength compared to coarse-grained counterparts. It is well know that during uniaxial deformation, the stress-strain behaviour exhibits an extraordinary ...
The seismic reinforcement of masonry walls needs to be carried out through appropriate and effective techniques aiming at providing both adequate strength and displacement capacity. The present research concerns experimental results about the in-plane beha ...
The automatic generation of elastic-plastic stress fields (EPSF) for structural concrete members by means of the finite element method has been demonstrated as a suitable approach for the design and assessment of D regions. This methodology allows accounti ...
The microstructure of porous silver layers produced under different low temperature pressure-assisted sintering conditions is characterized and linked with the mechanical behavior studied insitu during X-ray diffraction. Peak profile analysis reveals impor ...
Many old riveted steel bridges remain operational and require retrofit to accommodate ever increasing demands. Complicating retrofit efforts, riveted steel bridges are often considered historical structures where structural modifications that affect the or ...
Five different grain sizes are produced in 0.17 wt% carbon steel using varying rates of cooling from austenitization temperatures. Controlled furnace cooling from 1100 °C and 950 °C produces coarse ferrite grains of 40 µm and 32 µm diameter, respectively, ...
Plane reinforced concrete (RC) elements are used in a large variety of structures. Their principal function is to carry forces that act in the plane of the element, but external actions and connections to other structural elements generally introduce addit ...
The detrimental effects of the H on the mechanical properties of the metals are known for more than a century. One of the most important degradation mechanisms is H embrittlement (HE). In this thesis, we examined a few famous proposed mechanisms in the fie ...
The strengthening method characterized by the application of composite grid reinforced mortar layers onto the surface of masonry walls is a quite new technique and, thus, still requires deep experimental and numerical investigation. This strengthening tech ...
