Embracing wind power in the solar PV-dominated Swiss landscape

Christophe Ballif, Nicolas Würsch, Alejandro Pena Bello, Marine Dominique Cauz

The Swiss energy transition, characterized by the nuclear phase-out, relies mainly on the integration of solar photovoltaic (PV), mostly because wind technology faces challenges in local public acceptance. This study aims to analyse Swiss PV and wind gener ...

Towards a geometry independent traction-separation and angle relation due to large scale bridging in DCB configuration

John Botsis, Georgios Pappas

Traction-separation relations due to large scale bridging in composites are very important in modeling their fracture response. Several works demonstrated that such relations are dependent upon the specimen's stiffness and loading conditions. Experimental ...

Contribution of R-UHPFRC Strengthening Layers to the Shear Resistance of RC Elements

Eugen Brühwiler, Maléna Bastien Masse

To strengthen a reinforced concrete (RC) slab with deficient shear resistance, it is proposed to add to the top of the slab a 25-50 mm thick layer of ultra-high performance fibre reinforced cement-based composite (UHPFRC) with small diameter rebars (R-UHPF ...

Derivation of the σ-w relationship for SFRC from prism bending tests

Aurelio Muttoni

The material characterization of steel fibre-reinforced concrete (SFRC), which is required for its implementation in design codes, should be based on nominal properties that describe its postcracking strength in tension. In the case of brittle and quasi-br ...

The role of twist and crimp on the vibration behaviour of flax fibre composites

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Fabien Duc

The damping properties of unidirectional, 0/90 and twill 2/2 flax fibre (FF) reinforced epoxy composites containing 40 vol% of fibres have been measured by vibration beam testing (VBT). The influence of the impregnation quality, the fibre/matrix adhesion, ...
