The constant improvement of polymer composite materials has allowed their integration in many industrial fields where their mechanical and chemical properties are apparently attractive. Mixed metal-composite insulators are now increasingly used for high vo ...
When structural elements are subjected to compressive loads, the shear forces and stresses induced by second- order effects may lead to shear failure prior to compressive failure. This is particularly likely to occur in the case of pultruded glass fiber-re ...
Determination of the load-bearing capacity of natural-stone masonry arches is an important aspect in the field of conservation of architectural heritage. Structural verification of bridges of this type requires thorough methods in order to make efficient u ...
The association of experimental data showing that the plastic deformation of olivine, the main constituent of the upper mantle, is highly anisotropic and the ubiquitous seismic anisotropy in the upper mantle, which indicates that olivine crystals show cohe ...
Today all major standards implicitly or explicitly include an “impact factor”, “dynamic amplification factor” (DAF) or “dynamic load allowance”. The amount of dynamic traffic action represented by the factor varies considerably [6, 7]. The values are usual ...
Biomimetic structures are structures that demonstrate increased functionality through mimicking qualities of biological organisms. Self-repair and adaptation mechanisms are examples of biological qualities that can be adapted in structural engineering. Ove ...
Microcellular aluminium can be produced by a process known as replication; this involves the infiltration of a packed bed of NaCl particles which are subsequently leached after metal solidification. The resulting material features a uniform distribution of ...
During the crossing of brittle rock formations at the Lötschberg base tunnel, failure phenomena have been observed both at the tunnel face and at the walls. A detailed analysis has been undertaken to explain these behaviours, based on the recent developmen ...
Axial compression experiments were conducted on pultruded E-glass fiber-reinforced polymer laminates of different slenderness. Second-order deformations greatly increased the bending moments and shear forces of slender specimens. Delamination failure occur ...
The present research represents a theoretical and experimental contribution to the understanding of the structural behaviour of elements made of ultra-high performance fibre-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC). UHPFRC is investigated as an advanced cementitious m ...
