Model uncertainties in action effects and load bearing capacity calculation in statically indeterminate reinforced concrete structures
Aurelio Muttoni, Alain Nussbaumer, Xhemsi Malja
For the dimensioning and assessment of structures, it is common practice to compare action effects with sectional resistances. Extensive studies have been performed to quantify the model uncertainty on the resistance side. However, for statically indetermi ...
Ernst & Sohn2024Experimental investigation of dowel action in reinforcing bars using refined measurements
Aurelio Muttoni, Marko Pejatovic
In typical reinforced concrete design, reinforcement is designed to carry axial forces, but it can also resist transversal forces by dowel action. This is usually neglected for simplicity's sake in the design phase, but it can be accounted for either expli ...
Ernst & Sohn2024Estimation of the bar stress based on crack width measurements in reinforced concrete structures
Estimating the stress of reinforcing bars and its variations in service conditions can be useful to determine the reserve capacity of structures or to assess the risk of fatigue in the reinforcement. This paper investigates the use crack width measurements ...
Ernst & Sohn2024Deformation capacity evaluation for flat slab seismic design
Aurelio Muttoni, Lorenzo Martinelli, António Manuel Pinho Ramos, Andri Setiawan
In flat-slab frames, which are typically designed as secondary seismic structures, the shear failure of the slab around the column (punching failure) is typically the governing failure mode which limits the deformation capacity and can potentially lead to ...
SPRINGER2022Characterization of shear deformations in reinforced concrete members without shear reinforcement
Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Raffaele Cantone, Andri Setiawan
The load-carrying capacity of many reinforced concrete structures is governed by shear failures, occurring before reaching the flexural capacity of the member. For redundant systems, such as slabs subjected to concentrated loads, local shear failures (typi ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2022Considerations on the partial safety factor format for reinforced concrete structures accounting for multiple failure modes
Aurelio Muttoni, Qianhui Yu, Miguel Fernández Ruiz
The increasing usage of nonlinear analyses for the design of reinforced concrete structures and the necessity of codes of practice to provide a consistent safety format for them is one of the challenges that new generations of codes of practice are facing. ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2022Anchorage of shear reinforcement in beams and slabs
Aurelio Muttoni, Qianhui Yu, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Frédéric Monney
Anchorage of shear reinforcement, such as links or stirrups, can be performed by providing hooks, bends or heads at their ends, by welding transverse reinforcement or by closing open stirrups with pins. Hooks and bends, also used to enhance the anchorage o ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2022Seismic Performance of Strengthened Slab-Column Connections in a Full-Scale Test
Aurelio Muttoni, António Manuel Pinho Ramos
Strengthening of flat slab-column connections to resist imposed lateral drifts is often required for older reinforced concrete structures in which the flat slabs were typically designed to resist gravity load only or have been designed for less stringent r ...
TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD2022Influence of sustained loading on resistance and deformation capacity of reinforced concrete members in compression
Aurelio Muttoni, Xhemsi Malja, Miguel Fernández Ruiz
As acknowledged explicitly or implicitly in most of current design codes, a high level of sustained loading has a detrimental effect on the concrete compressive strength. However, its beneficial effect in terms of deformation capacity is neglected in most ...
ERNST & SOHN2022Design of slender and squat reinforced concrete members with shear reinforcement
Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Marko Pejatovic
As proposed in several design standards for structural concrete, including Eurocode 2 (EN:1992-1-1:2004) and fib's Model Code 2010, the shear design of slender members with shear reinforcement can be performed by means of consistent models based on suitabl ...
