Size effect has been theoretically and experimentally acknowledged as a phenomenon influencing the shear and punching shear strength of concrete structures, with reducing unitary shear strength for increasing member sizes. For members failing in shear, as ...
The yield strengths of High Entropy Alloys have recently been correlated with measured or computed picometer-scale atomic distortions. Here, the root mean square microdistortion in a multicomponent alloy is shown to be nearly proportional to the misfit-vol ...
Sustained load actions are permanently present in concrete structures, as for example self-weight and dead loads on bridges or soil pressure on cut-and-cover tunnels. These actions may increase throughout a structure's lifetime, for instance after refurbis ...
Seismic assessment of unreinforced masonry structures remains a challenge. This dissertation investigates the in-plane behavior of historical masonry elements and proposes an advanced simulation method based on the cohesive zone model (CZM) in a finite ele ...
Nowadays, strengthening of existing steel structures using advanced carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites is becoming a common technique due to the unique advantages of the material such as light weight, high strength and fatigue endurance, as ...
FRP (fiber reinforced polymer) strips are used to flexurally strengthen reinforced concrete (RC) beams. The global bond strength namely the maximum transferable bond stress due to the increase of FRP tensile stress in a cracked concrete element (subsequent ...
A naturally buckling brace (NBB) is a steel brace that consists of a high-strength and low-yielding steel channel arranged in parallel with eccentricity acting along the brace length. To enhance the feasibility of NBB fabrication, three connecting design d ...
Ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced cement-based composite (UHPFRC) has been increasingly adopted for rehabilitation projects over the past two decades, proving itself as a reliable, cost-efficient and sustainable alternative against conventional metho ...
Since the first applications of structural concrete, the shear behaviour of one-way slabs without transverse reinforcement has been largely investigated. Nevertheless, currently in the scientific community there is no general agreement on the mechanisms of ...
A large number of design approaches for structural concrete rely on the applicability of limit analysis. This is for instance the case of bending and shear design in members with transverse reinforcement, where it is assumed that plastic compression fields ...
