Enhanced safety with post-installed shear reinforcement

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz

The safety of existing concrete slabs against shear may be insufficient for several reasons such as design and construction errors, structural modifications or increased loads. Moreover, the knowledge about shear design has significantly increased over the ...

Assessment of Shear Strength for Existing Bridges with Low Amounts of Shear Reinforcement

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Michael Markus Rupf

Design of concrete girder bridges has significantly evolved during the last decades. This has been particularly relevant with respect to shear design, motivated by changes in actions and design models. As a consequence, assessing the shear strength of exis ...

Post-tensioned girders with low amounts of shear reinforcement: Shear strength and influence of flanges

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Michael Markus Rupf

Assessing the strength of existing structures has become a major issue for structural engineers. Such analyses are often performed after changes of use of the structure or due to new design codes requirements. This is particularly relevant with respect to ...

Investigation of failure mode and shear strength of rock joints using discrete element method

Jian Zhao, Tohid Kazerani

Shear failure mode and strength of artificial rock joints are studied under different levels of joint compression. A quasi-static discrete element modeling is presented that reproduces the brittle material as a dense assemblage of deformable triangular par ...

Experimental investigation into the shear resistance of a reinforced UHPFRC web element

Eugen Brühwiler, Talayeh Noshiravani, Karl Telleen, Rita Galrito

Ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) can be implemented in combination with steel reinforcing bars to enhance the performance of UHPFRC elements subject to shear stresses. This paper presents an experimental investigation into the beha ...

Failure in multiphase geomaterias

Lyesse Laloui

The contributions assembled in the present volume proceed from the lectures of the 2009 ALERT Geomaterials School devoted to the Failure in the multiphase geomaterials. The multiphase behaviour of geomaterials used to be mainly considered from the point of ...

Shear strength of thin-webbed post-tensioned beams

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz

This paper investigates the load-carrying mechanisms and the strength of thin-webbed, post-tensioned beams failing by crushing of the web. The shear strength in these members is significantly reduced because of the state of cracking in the web and because ...

Joining Wood by Friction Welding - Fabrication of Multi- layered Components

Yves Weinand, Bernhard Stamm

Since decades traditional friction welding methods are applied industrially to metal and thermoplastic synthetics. Research showed that for different applications this method is promising for wood too. The process does not necessitate any additional materi ...

2006

An experimental and theoretical investigation of the shear strength of reinforced concrete slabs without shear reinforcement is under way at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. The first part of the program consists of 6 tests on two large scale ...
