AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
The present research improves the experimental and theoretical knowledge on the behaviour of structural elements made of ultra high performance fibre reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) with ordinary reinforcement. UHPFRC is a recently developed material with muc ...
This paper investigates the shear strength of beams and one-way slabs without stirrups based on the opening of a critical shear crack. The shear-carrying mechanisms after the development of this crack are investigated. On this basis, a rational model is de ...
Reinforced concrete being the most applied construction material today performs very well in most applications but still lacks durability under severe environmental conditions. Especially existing structures built decades ago show degradation. Using Ultra- ...
The management of existing road infrastructures is a multidisciplinary activity that involves structural engineering, material science, management, economics and ecology. The objective is to achieve maximum availability of road links at minimum societal co ...
The use of composites is growing in structural applications in many industries including aerospace, marine, wind turbine and civil engineering. There are uncertainties about the long term performance of these composites and how they will perform under cycl ...
Construction methods for steel-concrete structures have developed significantly over the last quarter of a century, and the number of steel-concrete bridges on road and rail networks is continually increasing. However, design methods for bridges have not e ...
The concept of confined concrete has been widely accepted throughout the structural engineering field, such as the spiral, steel tube, or carbon fiber composite shell confined concrete, etc. In the present study, this concept has not only been used in the ...
Computer-aided approaches for the efficient development of suitable stress fields are useful tools for the structural design of concrete structures. The paper describes a new procedure that is used within a previously proposed approach for the automatic ge ...

The deterioration of reinforced concrete structures and the associated rehabilitation work represent an economic cost of premier importance. In Switzerland, the structural maintenance expenditures amount to 40% to 65% of the initial construction cost (over ...
The stress field method is a technique based on the lower-bound theorem of plasticity that can be used for dimensioning, detailing and checking of structural concrete elements. Its use has been traditionally associated with the assumption of simplified (ri ...
