Determination of minimum CFRP pre-stress levels for fatigue crack prevention in retrofitted metallic beams

Alain Nussbaumer, Gary Scott Prinz, Andrin Herwig, Elyas Ghafoori

The majority of fatigue strengthening studies focus on reducing propagation rates of existing cracks, ignoring the crack initiation stage. Many existing metallic bridge members however do not contain existing cracks, but rather are nearing their design fat ...

Le facteur séisme dans l'architecture vernaculaire

Milo Hofmann

A large part of ancient built environments in earthquake prone areas have been accomplished exclusively thanks to the experience that their builders developed over centuries of practice. Several of the resulting techniques have showed a satisfactory perfor ...

Graphic statics and interactive optimization for engineering education

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet

Although conventional structural analysis software is widely used by practicing engineers, its pedagogical value for students is limited, especially in design applications. Nevertheless, there is an established value in students exploring engineering probl ...

Interfacial Ga-As suboxide: Structural and electronic properties

Alfredo Pasquarello, Davide Colleoni

The structural and electronic properties of Ga-As suboxide representative of the transition region at the GaAs/oxide interface are studied through density functional calculations. Two amorphous models generated by quenches from the melt are taken under con ...

Exchanging ligand-binding specificity between a pair of mouse olfactory receptor paralogs reveals odorant recognition principles

Horst Vogel, Horst Pick, Shuguang Yuan, Luc Veya, Olivia Baud

A multi-gene family of ~1000 G protein-coupled olfactory receptors (ORs) constitutes the molecular basis of mammalian olfaction. Due to the lack of structural data its remarkable capacity to detect and discriminate thousands of odorants remains poorly unde ...

Damage models for UHPFRC and R-UHPFRC tensile fatigue behaviour

Tohru Makita

Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Composites (UHPFRC) is a cementitious material showing relatively high tensile strength and significant tensile strain-hardening behaviour (given a certain volume of fibres). Adding a layer of UHPFRC or UHPFRC combin ...

Various perspectives on the extension of graphic statics to the third dimension

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet

This paper discusses the strengths, limitations and potential of three future computer-aided approaches for three-dimensional graphic statics. It concludes that a fully three-dimensional extension of graphics statics would create new possibilities for deal ...

Static performance in transverse direction of pultruded GFRP bridge decks

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Julia De Castro San Roman Fest, Sonia Yanes Armas

Pultruded glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bridge decks distribute punctual vehicular loads to the underlying superstructure and can also act as the upper chord of hybrid main girders. The deck’s structural performance in both cases is influenced by i ...

Bridge "examineering" or how monitoring and UHPFRC improve the performance of structures

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 ...

Structural performance of complex core systems for FRP-balsa composite sandwich bridge decks

Michael Osei-Antwi

Based on current fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite construction principles, FRP decks fall into two categories: pultruded decks and sandwich decks. Sandwich decks comprise face sheets and either honeycombs or foams reinforced with internal FRP webs ...
