Short-term behavior of glass fiber-polymer composite bending-active elastica beam under service load application

Thomas Keller, Landolf-Giosef-Anastasios Rhode-Barbarigos, Tara Habibi

Bending-active elastica beam is a structural configuration that is based on the elastic deformation of an initially straight beam. This deformation occurs when horizontal displacements are applied to a sliding support, causing the beam to bend into an arch ...

Conceptual design of 1000 m scale steel-UHPFRC composite truss arch bridge

Jieping Zhu, Xiujiang Shen

Excessive self-weight and difficulty in construction are the main issues confronted by super-long-span arch bridges. To address these issues, a conceptual design of steel-ultra-high performance fibre-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) composite truss arch bridge ...

Analysis and design of an innovative solution for tunnels using elastic-plastic stress fields

Aurelio Muttoni, Stefano Campana

For the conception of cut-and-cover tunnel, two solutions are usually considered to define the cross-section : an arch/vault or a frame. The vault enables an optimal static behavior in case of a large soil cover and symmetric loads. However, this solution ...
