On the compressive and bond strength of reinforced concrete as structural properties

Traditionally, the concrete strength is measured on cubes or cylinders having normalized dimensions, suitable vibration and curing conditions and their strength is assessed in laboratory under fast loading rates. However, the in-situ strength of structural ...

Combined Shear-Flexural Verification Of In Plane Loaded Reinforced And Unreinforced Masonry Walls

Lorenzo Benedetti

The safety verification of in-plane loaded masonry panels requires the evaluation of at least three different collapse conditions connected with overturning, shear sliding, and shear - compression failure at the panels' toe. In reinforced panels, the resis ...

Development of Dissipative Steel Column-Base Connections for Steel Moment-Resisting Frames under Seismic Loading

Hiroyuki Inamasu

In capacity-designed steel moment resisting frames (MRFs), column base connections feature a strong-base/weak-column design philosophy. Prior studies on fixed-end wide flange steel columns featuring seismically compact cross sections subjected to coupled a ...

Minimal mass design of active tensegrity structures

Yafeng Wang

Tensegrity structures have been widely utilized as lightweight structures due to their high stiffness-to-mass and strength-to-mass ratios. Minimal mass design of tensegrity structures subject to external loads and specific constraints (e.g., member yieldin ...

Concrete compressive strength: From material characterization to a structural value

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Francesco Rafael Alberto Moccia, Qianhui Yu

The compressive resistance of concrete in new structures is usually characterized on the basis of tests performed on concrete cylinders or cubes under relatively rapid loading conditions. Although efficient for material characterization, these tests do not ...

Optimum design of low environmental impact structures through component reuse

Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting

Load-bearing systems (structures) in buildings and infrastructure contribute to a significant share of adverse environmental impacts (EI) because of resource- and energy-intensive fabrication. A currently overlooked circular economy strategy to reduce EI i ...

Nondestructive Prediction of the Buckling Load of Imperfect Shells

Tobias Schneider, Emmanuel Georges Albert Virot, Emilio José Lozano Vazquez

From soda cans to space rockets, thin-walled cylindrical shells are abundant, offering exceptional load carrying capacity at relatively low weight. However, the actual load at which any shell buckles and collapses is very sensitive to imperceptible defects ...

Design of structures that adapt to loads through large shape changes

Ian Smith, Arka Prabhata Reksowardojo, Gennaro Senatore

Adaptive structures can modify their geometry and internal forces through sensing and mechanical actuation in order to maintain optimal performance under changing actions. Previous work has shown that well-conceived adaptive design strategies achieve subst ...
