The fatigue safety of the reinforced concrete deck slab of a sixty-year-old steel-concrete road viaduct as well as the riveted steel girders of a 130 year old railway bridge was questioned based on the results of conventional assessment consisting in "re-c ...
Geothermal energy is heat energy generated and stored in the Earth. With the awareness of the society about environmental issues, geothermal power is developing worldwide. It is cost-effective, reliable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly but has hi ...
"UHPFRC" stands for Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composite materials. UHPFRC - complemented with steel reinforcing bars - serves as an external reinforcement increasing the ultimate flexural and shear resistances as well as the fati ...
As fatigue cracks were discovered under the bridge deck of the 48 years old railway bridge Linthkanal-Brücke, located near the Ziegelbrücke town in Switzerland, a few studies were conducted to understand the mechanism behind the cracks formation. However, ...
Proper test and analysis methods are necessary for characterizing the tensile behavior of strain hardening Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites (UHPFRC) accurately and representatively. In this paper, the direct tensile tests (DT ...
The rotational behavior of the web-flange junctions (WFJs) of a pultruded glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bridge deck system with trapezoidal cell cross-sectional geometry was investigated. The rotational response of three WFJ types, in two bending m ...
Nowadays, choosing adequate running shoes is very difficult, due to the high number of different designs. Nevertheless, shoes have two main characteristics to fit runners' technique and morphology: drop and arch support. Retailers' advices are usually base ...
An analytical model describing the flexural response of vertically spanning out-of-plane loaded unreinforced masonry walls is presented in this paper. The model is based on the second-order Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and captures important characteristics ...
This paper demonstrates how adaptive design (details published elsewhere) can be employed to save, on average, 70% of whole-life energy on a range of spatial structures, the whole-life energy deriving from an embodied part in the material and an operationa ...
Much of the post-war reinforced and prestressed concrete infrastructure in North America and Europe is reaching its design life and engineers are in need of tools that can be used to assess the shear behavior of these structures. The Compression Field Theo ...
