Revisiting Detailing Rules for Bending Bars, Anchorage and Minimum Shear Reinforcement in Concrete Structures

Frédéric Monney

Reinforcement detailing rules describe the shape, geometrical dimensions, and amount of steel to be placed in reinforced concrete structures. They allow for simple and fast designs, account for several effects neglected in the design, ensure a satisfactory ...

Spalling of concrete cover induced by reinforcement

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Francesco Rafael Alberto Moccia

This paper investigates the phenomenon of cover spalling in reinforced concrete induced by bond or by the action of an inner pressure. This research is based on an experimental programme comprising a series of bond tests and a series of tests with inner-pr ...

Casting position effects on bond performance of reinforcement bars

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Francesco Rafael Alberto Moccia

The phenomena associated with the consolidation of fresh concrete (bleeding and plastic settlement) are commonly considered significant for the bond performance of reinforcement. However, rules to take care of such influence for design are not consistent a ...

First observation of spalling in tantalum at high temperatures induced by high energy proton beam impacts

Philippe Spätig, Elvis Fornasiere

Spalling in tantalum has been observed in an experiment aiming at testing an antiproton production target prototype at CERN’s HiRadMat Facility. The experiment consisted in impacting 47 intense and high-energy proton beams onto a target equipped with ten c ...

Interaction between Bond and Deviation Forces in Spalling Failures of Arch-Shaped Members without Transverse Reinforcement

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Sylvain Plumey

This paper investigates the structural behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) arch-shaped members without transverse reinforcement subjected to bending. Such members have typical applications in tunnels, cut-and-cover structures, shells, vaults, ducts, silos ...
