Environmental 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 ...
2023Energy dissipation in fiber-polymer composites adhesive joints under cyclic loading
Sustainable development has emerged as a paramount consideration in various fields of industry, including construction, to preserve the environment and its finite resources. Lightweight structures, such as fiber-polymer composite structures, address both s ...
EPFL2023Vortex shedding from a composite hydrofoil: Experimental evidence of a novel "partial lock-in"
Mohamed Farhat, Thomas Antoine Nicolas Berger, Qin Wu, Yunqing Liu
Lock-in is of great importance in many engineering applications due to its practical implications for structural safety. The influence of composite bend-twist coupling on the wake dynamics and vortex-induced vibration around a carbon fiber composite hydrof ...
Melville2023Proposed Panel Zone Model for Beam-To-Column Joints in Steel Moment Resisting Frames
Dimitrios Lignos, Andronikos Skiadopoulos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady
In capacity designed steel moment resisting frames (MRFs), beam-to-column joints (i.e., panel zones) are designed to remain elastic. To potentially exploit the beneficial aspects of the stable panel zone hysteretic response in shear, a robust panel zone mo ...
2023Experimental 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 ...
