Contributions to rebar-to-concrete interaction and its structural implications for design and monitoring applications
Bond between reinforcing bars and concrete has been the focus of extensive research over the last century. This is well-justified as the functioning of reinforced concrete intimately depends on the interaction between rebar and concrete, as for example cra ...
EPFL2024Structural component reuse of precast and cast-in-place reinforced concrete in architecture since the late 1960s in Europe
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Célia Marine Küpfer
The reuse of concrete pieces salvaged from structures undergoing transformation or demolition into new architectural projects has gained a sudden and visible interest over the past five years. However, the practice of reusing concrete pieces in new structu ...
vdf Hochschulverlag AG2024Experimental and analytical investigation of shear-reinforced concrete and dowel action
Codes of practice can be overly conservative, particularly for the shear resistance of reinforced concrete beams with shear reinforcement when large loads act close to supports. This thesis addresses the topic by proposing a refined design approach based o ...
EPFL2024Experimental testing and structural analysis of composite tile – reinforced concrete domes
Conventional formworks for concrete curved shells either are expensive, complex and wasteful or have formal restrictions. Using tile vaults (also known as timbrel, Guastavino, thin-tile or Catalan vaults) as stay-in-place formwork for concrete shells could ...
2023Panorama of approaches to reuse concrete pieces: identification and critical comparison
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Célia Marine Küpfer
Practices that reuse concrete pieces in new building or infrastructure projects are currently diversifying as concrete reuse gains more and more relevance for sustainability. The present research provides a yet missing identification of the main approaches ...
2023Environmental and Life-Cycle Cost Evaluation of a Composite Timber-UHPFRC Bridge
Eugen Brühwiler, Numa Joy Bertola
Ultra-High-Performance Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composite (UHPFRC) has recently been used to design lightweight structures and strengthen existing ones, with more than 300 applications in Switzerland. Several composite timber-UHPFRC bridges have been ...
