On the Post-peak Behaviour of Remoulded and Jointed Clay Samples During Triaxial Compression Tests

Alessio Ferrari

The note presents a selection of the results of a large experimental program conducted with the aim of characterizing the shear strength of Opalinus Clay and Speswhite Kaolin in remoulded and reconstituted conditions, through the execution of unconventiona ...

Influence of Load Duration on Shear Strength of Reinforced Concrete Members

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Darko Tasevski

The significance of sustained loading on the compressive and tensile strength of concrete has been experimentally verified since the 1950s and is currently acknowledged in most design codes implicitly or explicitly. However; its influence on other potentia ...

Understanding the behaviour of soil-structure interfaces is critical for addressing the analysis and design of energy geostructures. In this study, the interface failure mechanism of energy piles (where a shear band is detached from the surrounding soil th ...

The aim of this work is the investigation of mesoscale/local variability in mechanical properties of clear timber in the radial direction. Clear Norway spruce wood, Picea abies, was used for cutting specimens of different lengths with a small cross-section ...

The shear strength of beams and one-way slabs has been acknowledged for more than one century as one of the most complex, yet fundamental, topics to be addressed in structural concrete design. The experimental data used to investigate the phenomenon has tr ...

Time-dependent strength of concrete in compression and shear

Darko Tasevski

Sustained load actions are permanently present in concrete structures, as for example self-weight and dead loads on bridges or soil pressure on cut-and-cover tunnels. These actions may increase throughout a structure's lifetime, for instance after refurbis ...

Micro-mechanical finite element modeling for in-plane behavior of historical masonry

Shenghan Zhang

Seismic assessment of unreinforced masonry structures remains a challenge. This dissertation investigates the in-plane behavior of historical masonry elements and proposes an advanced simulation method based on the cohesive zone model (CZM) in a finite ele ...

The bond shear strength between masonry units and mortar is the weakest link in a masonry wall. Different material tests have been developed in order to characterize this bond behaviour. The objective of this study is to evaluate three common test setups t ...

Friction welding of wood is a bonding technology that can be used for joining timber elements, and in which the adhesive is formed from thermally modified cell wall material within the substrate during the welding process. In this paper, this principle is ...

Friction welding of wood is an assembly method that is still under investigation and development. A possible application for welded wood joints is the fabrication of multi-layered panels (i.e., cross-laminated panels). In an effort to model the behavior of ...
