Effective stiffness of reinforced concrete coupling beams

Reinforced concrete (RC) structural walls with coupling beams are widely used as the primary lateral-load-bearing elements in high-rise building structures. Many researches have shown that there is uncertainty in the estimation of the effective stiffness o ...

Equivalent-Design Crack Model for Structural Glass Elements

Pieter Christian Louter, Manuel Santarsiero

Analytical determination of safety in glass structures often uses oversimplified resistance criteria or fully probabilistic models which require special software to numerically solve the complex equations. Due to computation cost and remaining uncertainty ...

Seismic shear distribution among interconnected cantilever walls of different lengths

Katrin Beyer, Raluca-Tereza Constantin, Sabrina Simonini

Mid- to high-rise buildings in seismic areas are often braced by slender reinforced concrete (RC) walls, which are interconnected by RC floor diaphragms. In design it is typically assumed that the lateral forces are distributed in proportion to the wall’s ...

Loading protocols for European regions of low to moderate seismicity

Katrin Beyer, Panagiotis Mergos

Existing loading protocols for quasi-static cyclic testing of structures are based on recordings from regions of high seismicity. For regions of low to moderate seismicity they overestimate imposed cumulative damage demands. Since structural capacities are ...

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 ...

Seismic response of a 4 storey building with reinforced concrete and unreinforced masonry walls

Katrin Beyer, Sarah Petry, Marco Tondelli

In Switzerland many new residential buildings are designed as mixed structures with unreinforced masonry (URM) walls and reinforced concrete (RC) walls while existing URM structures are often retrofitted by replacing selected URM walls by RC walls. The lat ...

Shake-table test on a four-storey structure with reinforced concrete and unreinforced masonry walls

Katrin Beyer, Sarah Petry, Marco Tondelli

With the introduction of higher seismic design forces in the Swiss loading standard of 2003 most unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings failed to satisfy the seismic design check. For this reason, in new construction projects, a number of URM walls are nowad ...

Design for punching of prestressed concrete slabs

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, António Manuel Pinho Ramos, Thibault Clément

Prestressing in flat slabs helps in controlling deformations and cracking under service loads and allows reducing the required slab thickness, leading thus to more slender structures and being therefore an economic solution for long spans. However, as a co ...

Developing cyclic loading protocols for regions of low to moderate seismicity

Katrin Beyer, Panagiotis Mergos

This paper deals with the development of loading protocols appropriate for cyclic testing in regions of low to moderate seismicity in Europe. To serve this goal, cumulative damage demands imposed by a set of 60 ground motion records, representative of a Eu ...
