Bending-active elastica beam is a structural configuration that is based on the elastic deformation of an initially straight beam. This deformation occurs when horizontal displacements are applied to a sliding support, causing the beam to bend into an arch ...
Strain Hardening Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concretes (SH-UHPFRC) are cementitious materials with exceptional mechanical properties and outstanding durability making them ideal materials for rehabilitation, for the improvement of load carrying ...
Numerical models of structural components that deteriorate primarily due to geometric instabilities under multiaxis cyclic loading are sensitive to both the assumed geometric imperfections and the nonlinear material model assumptions. Therefore, the accura ...
Geo-energy is a comprehensive term used to describe any form of energy that comes from the Earth. This includes hydrocarbons such as gas, oil, and coal, but also geothermal energy (shallow and deep). The focus of this thesis is on Enhanced Geothermal Syste ...
The observation of cracks in normally functioning reinforced concrete (RC) structures is expected as the tensile strength of concrete is relatively low. However, one or more of those cracks can start to propagate with increasing crack openings, localizing ...
The biaxial flexural fatigue behavior of thin slab elements made of strain-hardening Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composite (UHPFRC) is investigated experimentally by means of the ring-on-ring test method. Fourteen flexural fatigue ...

Cast-in-place thin layers of Ultra-High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites (UHPFRC) on the specific zones of existing reinforced concrete (RC) bridge decks has been demonstrated to be a technically efficient and economic rehabilitation an ...
The strengthening of existing steel structures against high-cycle fatigue (HCF) loading has become one of the most important topics of interest in structural rehabilitation. Apart from the conventional strengthening techniques that incorporate bulky and he ...
The ever-increasing demand for rehabilitation of existing structures and construction of new ones, along with environmental issues of the construction sites represent a heavy burden for society in terms of economy and environment. Meanwhile, Ultra-High Per ...
