RE:SLAB — a load bearing system for open-ended component reuse in building structures
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Dario Redaelli, Alex-Manuel Muresan, Edisson Xavier Estrella Arcos
The construction industry plays a major role in the high levels of greenhouse gas emissions, resource consumption, and waste generation observed nowadays. Key to the circular economy, structural component reuse arises as a promising solution to divert cons ...
2024Shear and steel-fibre reinforcement for the punching resistance of flat slabs at internal and edge columns
Reinforced concrete flat slabs consist of a continuous, thin concrete plate that rests on a grid of columns. The supporting surface of the columns is very small compared to the floor plan dimensions, leading to concentrations of shear forces near the colum ...
EPFL2024Exergy and exergoeconomic analyses of sustainable furfural production via reactive distillation
Lignocellulosic biomass is a potential renewable resource for production of high-value, sustainable products. Furfural is among the important bio-based chemicals in biorefineries. However, the conventional process of furfural production using a reaction-se ...
2021Effect of Column Base Flexibility on Earthquake-Induced Residual Deformations of Steel Columns
Dimitrios Lignos, Hiroyuki Inamasu
Post-earthquake residual deformations often control decisions regarding potential demolition of earthquake-damaged buildings. While residual deformations are typically assumed to be lateral, the column residual axial shortening has similar implications for ...
Trans Tech Publications Ltd2018Steel Columns under Multi-Axis Seismic Loading: Experimental Findings and Design Recommendations
Dimitrios Lignos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady
This paper summarizes the findings of two test programs that investigated the hysteretic behavior of wide-flange columns in steel moment-resisting frames. Both deep and shallow steel columns were examined. The members were subjected to unidirectional and b ...
Trans Tech Publications2018Effect of Column Base Flexibility on the Hysteretic Response of Wide Flange Steel Columns
Dimitrios Lignos, Hiroyuki Inamasu
Recent experiments on wide flange steel columns subjected to multi-axial cyclic loading underscore the influence of the member end boundary conditions on strength and stiffness deterioration due to coupling of local and lateral torsional buckling. Field ob ...
2017Experimental and Numerical Evaluation of Steel Columns for Performance-Based Seismic Assessment of Steel Moment Frames
Dimitrios Lignos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady, Alexander Riley Hartloper
This paper summarizes the findings of a long term experimental program corroborated with detailed finite element simulations that investigated the hysteretic behavior of wide-flange columns in steel moment-resisting frames (MRFs) designed in highly seismic ...
2017Collapse Behavior of Steel Columns as Part of Steel Frame Buildings: Experiments and Numerical Models
Earthquake-induced collapse risk assessment of steel frame buildings requires the use of deterioration models that simulate instabilities that cause strength and stiffness deterioration of structural steel components. In the case of steel columns in additi ...
International Association of Earthquake Engineering2017Internal slab-column connections under monotonic and cyclic imposed rotations
Aurelio Muttoni, Katrin Beyer, Ioannis Sokratis Drakatos
Reinforced concrete flat slabs supported by slender columns are often used as gravity load resisting system for buildings in regions of moderate seismicity. Current codes of practice determine the displacement capacity of slab-column connections using empi ...
Engineering Structures2016Seismic behaviour of slab-column connections without transverse reinforcement
Reinforced concrete (RC) flat slabs supported by slender columns are often used as gravity load resisting system for buildings in regions of moderate and high seismicity. Such buildings are typically braced by RC walls, which carry the largest portion of t ...
