Reinforced concrete flat slabs are extensively used in buildings and parking garages. Their design is governed by deflection at the serviceability limit state and punching shear at the ultimate limit state. When no punching shear reinforcement is provided, ...
This paper proposes an analytical method to assess softerror rate (SER) in the early stages of a System-on-Chip (SoC) platform-based design methodology. The proposed method uses an executable UML model of the SoC for its input. Soft-errors on the design ar ...
This paper presents an investigation on the behaviour and strength of slab-column joints in multystorey buildings. Such joints may develop different potential failure modes such as crushing of the concrete of the slab (due to column loading), bending or pu ...
This paper investigates the mechanical behaviour and the load-carrying mechanisms of reinforced concrete slabs by means of shear fields. The suitability of various shear fields obtained from different approaches (elastic and plastic theory) is investigated ...
A simplified method of measuring concrete resistivity, as an index of permeability, has been developed that is similar to ASTM C1202 or the rapid chloride permeability test (RCPT). It is significantly faster and easier to perform, however In this test, cyl ...
The design of reinforced and prestressed concrete girders is usually performed so as to avoid any non ductile failure mode. Amongst these failure modes, one of the most undesirable occurs by crushing of concrete in the web. To avoid this brittle type of fa ...
Punching of reinforced concrete and prestressed slabs is usually a critical failure mode for the design and verification of structures such as flat slabs or bridge slabs. Although codes of practice propose several rules for common cases (usually with an em ...
Knowledge of the mechanical properties, i.e. strength, stiffness and deformation capacity, of cementitious materials at any arbitrary time is fundamental for operations such as removal of formwork, prestressing or cracking control. This paper presents a st ...
Reinforced concrete slabs supported on columns fail by punching when a conical plug of concrete perforates the slab above the column. This failure has been mostly investigated experimentally, so what can numerical simulation contribute to understand this p ...
Combined loading and climatic effects associated with the choice of high modulus bituminous mixtures, in order to prevent the pavements from rutting, have increased the risk of cracking failure in the bituminous layers. It was decided, in 1989, to start a ...
