Study on Mechanical Performance of Prestressed UHPFRC U-Beam Bridges

The forms of U-shaped UHPFRC beams have not been investigated for the highway footbridge. Compared with the traditional section forms, the U-shaped UHPFRC beams can reduce the material consumption under the condition of providing the same bearing capacity. ...

On the compressive and bond strength of reinforced concrete as structural properties

Francesco Rafael Alberto Moccia

Traditionally, the concrete strength is measured on cubes or cylinders having normalized dimensions, suitable vibration and curing conditions and their strength is assessed in laboratory under fast loading rates. However, the in-situ strength of structural ...

Shell Modelling Strategies for the Assessment of Punching Shear Resistance of Continuous Slabs

Aurelio Muttoni, Raffaele Cantone, Beatrice Belletti

The punching shear resistance formulation provided by Model Code 2010 is calibrated on the basis of experimental tests on isolated slabs supported on columns. According to Level of Approximation approach, several quantities are required for the design punc ...

Composite beam effects and implications to seismic design provisions

Dimitrios Lignos, Hammad El Jisr

Previous studies have investigated the slab effects on the cyclic behavior of composite beams in moment-resisting frames. Of interest in this paper, is the slab contribution to the flexural strength and effective stiffness of the beam. The former influence ...

Local structural effects in fiber-reinforced polymer web-core sandwich structures

Sonia Yanes Armas

Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) pultruded decks and sandwich panels currently represent two of the most extensive applications of FRP materials for load-bearing structural components in the bridge and building domains. Based on the state of the art, ...

Semi-Rigid Moment-Resisting Behavior of Multiple Tab-and-Slot Joint for Freeform Timber Plate Structures

Stéphane Nicolas Roche

Historically based on the transfer of ancestral know-how, the art of carpentry changed considerably at the beginning of the 21st century with the arrival on the market of engineered wood products (EWP) and computer numerically controlled machines (CNC). Th ...

Stress fields for the interaction of in-plane and out-of-plane forces in reinforced concrete shell elements

Marie-Rose Backes

Plane reinforced concrete (RC) elements are used in a large variety of structures. Their principal function is to carry forces that act in the plane of the element, but external actions and connections to other structural elements generally introduce addit ...

JammJoint: A Variable Stiffness Device Based on Granular Jamming for Wearable Joint Support

Auke Ijspeert, Jamie Paik, Simon Lukas Hauser, Matthew Aaron Robertson

In robotics, controlling the stiffness of the joints that contribute to the robots’ degree of freedom dictates the adaptability, versatility, and safety of the whole system.We can achieve variable stiffness or impedance in a robotic system purely by the co ...

Full-Scale Cyclic Testing of Deep Slender Wide-Flange Steel Beam-Columns under Unidirectional and Bidirectional Lateral Drift Demands

Dimitrios Lignos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady

Deep and slender wide-flange steel beam-columns are commonly used in steel special moment frames (SMFs) in North America. These sections provide large moment-of-inertia required to satisfy the design code’s drift limits while keeping the column steel weigh ...
