Influence de la précontrainte sur la résistance au poinçonnement de dalles en béton armé

Thibault Clément

Flat slabs are commonly used in Switzerland but also in north America and in many European countries. Slab bridges are also a typical solution for crossing of motorways for example. In both cases, supporting a slab by columns is justified by the simplicity ...

Fatigue strengthening of damaged metallic beams using prestressed unbonded and bonded CFRP plates

John Botsis, Masoud Motavalli, Matteo Galli, Andrin Herwig, Elyas Ghafoori

Bonded fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs) reinforcement systems have traditionally been found to be an efficient method for improving the lifespan of fatigued metallic structures and have attracted much research attention. Nevertheless, the performance of a ...

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 ...

Experimental investigation on the load-carrying capacity of thin webs including post-tensioning tendons

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Eckart Hars

The presence of post-tensioning tendons in webs decreases the load-carrying capacity of the compression struts that are necessary to transfer shear forces. This effect has been known for a long time, but was initially not included in design codes. In parti ...

On Development of Suitable Stress Fields for Structural Concrete

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz

Strut and tie models and stress fields are methods that can be used for the dimensioning and detailing of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures as well as for the check of existing ones. This paper presents an innovative approach towards the autom ...
