Microscopic Mechanical Properties and Physicochemical Changes of Cement Paste Exposed to Elevated Temperatures and Subsequent Rehydration

The effect of elevated temperatures and subsequent rehydration on the microscopic mechanical properties and physicochemical changes of cement pastes was investigated. Cement pastes with different grades (CEM I 42.5, CEM I 52.5) and different water-to-cemen ...

Concrete rubble as a new construction material: Panorama of applications to known structural typologies

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Stefana Parascho, Maxence Grangeot

Concrete rubble is among the most wasted materials worldwide. In this paper, we present a panorama of the upcycling potential of disused concrete rubble as construction material for new low-carbon structures. We identify 15 existing structural applications ...

Stress Fields and Strut-and-Tie Models as a Basic Tool for Design and Verification in Second Generation of Eurocode 2

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz

Within the frame of the revision of the Eurocode 2 for concrete structures, the section devoted to strut-and-tie design has been up-dated to enhance its applicability, its consistency with other sections and its ease-of-use. As a result, a number of change ...

Considerations on the partial safety factor format for reinforced concrete structures accounting for multiple failure modes

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Qianhui Yu

The increasing usage of nonlinear analyses for the design of reinforced concrete structures and the necessity of codes of practice to provide a consistent safety format for them is one of the challenges that new generations of codes of practice are facing. ...

Multi-scale investigation on mechanical behavior and microstructural alteration of C-S-H in carbonated Alite paste

Karen Scrivener

Carbonation treatment is a promising option to enhance recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) quality and eventually improve concrete performance. This study investigated the multi-scale mechanical properties of calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H) in a mature ali ...

Life cycle assessment integration into energy system models: An application for Power-to-Methane in the EU

François Maréchal, Victor Codina Gironès

As the EU energy system transitions to low carbon, the technology choices should consider a broader set of criteria. The use of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) prevents burden shift across life cycle stages or impact categories, while the use of Energy System ...

Model-Free Methodologies for Data-Interpretation during Continuous Monitoring of Structures

Irwanda Laory

Most civil engineering infrastructures, especially bridges worldwide, are approaching the end of their designed lifespan. They are continuously deteriorating due largely to material aging, excessive loads and changing environments. Therefore, it is crucial ...

Structural response of hybrid "UHPFRC - concrete" members under bending"

Eugen Brühwiler, Emmanuel Denarié, Katrin Habel

Rehabilitation projects aim to enhance durability and to ensure structural safety. Ultra-High Per-formance Fibre Reinforced Concretes (UHPFRC) may fulfil these requirements when used as conservation materials. The structural response of composite UHPFRC-c ...
