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 ...
Analytical determination of safety in glass structures often uses oversimplified resistance criteria or fully probabilistic models which require special software to numerically solve the complex equations. Due to computation cost and remaining uncertainty ...
Examination engineering (short: "Examineering") of existing bridges comprises accurate determination of structural behavior and targeted use of advanced materials for improvement of structural behavior with the ultimate goal of limiting construction interv ...
Current design procedures for structural concrete elements are based on member level (or local) safety checks, in the sense that the safety condition is evaluated at each cross-section individually. In the examination of existing structures, the exploitati ...
The failure mechanism of non-slender glass fiber-reinforced epoxy prismatic specimens subjected to axial compression and different temperatures was investigated. Digital image correlation was used to map and derive the failure modes. The failure mode chang ...
A methodology inherent to existing structures is presented for the fatigue safety verification of riveted bridges. The suggested approach allows for the determination of updated action effects explicitly considering data from long term monitoring. Data fro ...
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are increasingly used in many load-bearing
structures. Joints are the most critical structural elements as they often become the weak links
in engineering structures. Bonding and bolting are two of the main joini ...
This paper discusses on the required level of simplicity for suitable modelling of structural concrete. Traditional equilibrium-based approaches (as strut-and-tie models) are too coarse in some cases, as they account for the cracking state of concrete in a ...
The present work deals with the large-scale application of the friction welding bonding technology on timber. The investigations that are described in the following were carried out on a prototype of a welding machine that was previously developed for the ...
Several computational challenges arise when evaluating the failure probability of a given system in the context of risk prediction or reliability analysis. When the dimension of the uncertainties becomes high, well established direct numerical methods can ...
