Small-Scale Physical Modeling of Reinforced Concrete Joints Using Additively Manufactured Reinforcement

This paper discusses quasi-static cyclic tests conducted on 1:30-scale physical models of RC exterior and knee beam-column joints, with additively manufactured [three-dimensional (3D)-printed] reinforcement cages. These models can be used for centrifuge mo ...

A Design Method in Grasshopper for Efficient Material Use in Concrete Slabs

David Michael Volpe Ruggiero, Sjonnie Boonstra

Concrete use in buildings significantly contributes to global CO2 emissions. Floor systems constitute a major portion of the concrete in building structures, making them a prime target for material reduction. Conventional design methods to calculate streng ...

Dependency of punching shear resistance and membrane action on boundary conditions of reinforced concrete continuous slabs

Aurelio Muttoni

The design of reinforced concrete flat slabs can be governed at failure by punching shear close to concentrated loads or columns. Geometrical features, reinforcement layouts and in-plane forces provided by external vertical elements, such as shear walls, c ...

Effect of punching shear on load-deformation behavior of flat slabs

Thomas Keller, Robert Koppitz

Punching shear resistance usually constitutes the decisive design criterion for reinforced concrete flat slabs supported by columns. Modeling approaches based on Kinnunen and Nylander's rotation-symmetric sector model, such as the Quadrilinear Sector Model ...

Shear strength of RC slabs under concentrated loads near clamped linear supports

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Francisco Manuel Maciel Natário

Reinforced concrete slabs without shear reinforcement subjected to concentrated loads near linear sup- ports are usually designed or assessed in shear using design provisions that have been calibrated on the basis of tests on one-way slabs or beams with re ...

Behaviour of nodal regions of reinforced concrete frames subjected to opening moments and proposals for their reinforcement

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Stefano Campana

The strength and deformation capacity of concrete frames is typically governed by their nodal regions behaviour. This is particularly relevant for frame corners subjected to opening bending moments, where premature brittle failures may develop depending on ...

Full-waveform GPR inversion to assess chloride gradients in concrete

Eugen Brühwiler, Alexis Kalogeropoulos

The spreading of deicing salt on roads during winter and the consequent migration of chloride ions within concrete exposes structures reinforcement to corrosion. Reinforcement corrosion is problematic because it reduces the structure's load carrying capaci ...

La teoría de la fisura crítica como base teórica para el diseño de losas frente a punzonamiento en el nuevo Código Modelo 2010 (The Critical Shear Crack Theory as a physical model for punching shear design and its implementation into new Model Code 2010)

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Juan Sagaseta Albajar

On April 2010, the first complete draft of new Model Code 2010 was published. It introduced a number of innovative design approaches, some of them with respect to shear and punching shear. Contrary to Model Code 90 (or some national and international codes ...

Poinçonnement symétrique des dalles en béton armé

Stefano Guandalini

Punching of reinforced concrete and prestressed slabs is usually a critical failure mode for the design and verification of structures such as flat slabs or bridge slabs. Although codes of practice propose several rules for common cases (usually with an em ...

Composite action of FRP bridge decks adhesively bonded to steel main girders

Herbert Gürtler

Up until today reinforced concrete has been used in most cases for the manufacturing of bridge decks. Depending on the quality of the work carried out, defects can already occur after only a few years. These defects mostly appear in the form of corrosion o ...
