Strain Hardening Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SH-UHPFRC) were used successfully over the last 8 years in numerous cast in place rehabilitation applications as long lasting waterproofing layers (20 to 30 mm thickness) and, combined with ...
Welding is an important joining method for the work with metals. During the welding process, the material is heated and deforms plastically which leads a change in microstructure in the heat affected zone, to complex residual stress distributions, and dist ...
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 ...
We show that steel-magnesium alloy laminated metal composites (LMCs) can be produced by gas pressure infiltration of a liquid magnesium alloy between layers of stacked dimpled steel sheets. Resulting LMCs are amenable to subsequent warm rolling. The LMCs a ...
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, ...
Ultra High-Performance Fibre-Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) combines high strength, deformation capacity and low permeability. This makes UHPFRC particularly suitable as a strengthening and protective layer for application to existing reinforced concrete str ...
Punching shear reinforcement is an efficient method to increase not only the strength but also the deformation capacity of flat slabs supported by columns. Especially, the increase in deformation capacity is desired so that the load can be distributed to o ...
Most analytical approaches and available test data for punching shear in flat slabs assume axis-symmetrical conditions, which seems realistic for representing slabs supported on columns equally spaced in both orthogonal directions. However, in practice, th ...
Physical punching shear models such as the Critical Shear Crack Theory (CSCT), which is the basis of Model Code 2010 (MC 2010), describe generally the punching strength as a function of the slab deformation. Thus, the prediction of an accurate load-deforma ...
The authors report on punching tests with full-scale slab specimens. The objective was to investigate the influence of several parameters on the punching strength and rotation capacity of flat slabs ...
