Fibre orientation in SFRC slabs and consequences for punching shear and flexural resistance

The use of steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) is a well-known method for enhancing the punching and flexural resistances of flat slabs. The structural performance of SFRC elements depends significantly on the fibre distribution and orientation, which a ...

Modernising a monument: The challenges of strengthening and widening a structurally deficient road bridge under live traffic

Eugen Brühwiler

The historic Port Weir Bridge over the Nidau-Buren Canal in the Canton of Bern, Switzerland, was inaugurated in 1938. This multi-purpose structure serves as an important road bridge, a mechanised weir, a lock for canal boats, as well as a hydroelectric pow ...

Punching tests on edge slab-column connections with refined measurements

Aurelio Muttoni, Andri Setiawan

Due to the significant shear forces developing around columns and the potential brittle failure associated, the punching capacity of flat slabs is the main concern at ultimate limit state. An effective way to understand the behaviour of slab-column connect ...

Auto-tuning ensemble models for estimating shear resistance of headed studs in concrete

Xianlin Wang

The shear resistance of headed studs is of paramount importance for the design of steel-concrete composite structures and an accurate predictive model is highly needed. Ensemble learning is expected to be a powerful solution while it relies on laborious se ...

Proposed Panel Zone Model for Seismic Design of Steel Moment-Resisting Frames

Dimitrios Lignos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady, Andronikos Skiadopoulos

This paper proposes a new mechanics-based model for the seismic design of beam-to-column panel zone joints in steel moment-resisting frames. The model is based on realistic shear stress distributions retrieved from continuum finite element (CFE) analyses o ...

Can timber lower the environmental impact of tall buildings?

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Catherine Elvire L. De Wolf

The building sector is responsible for 30% of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (UNEP, 2009). Recent energy efficiency measures have helped reduce the operational carbon related to the use phase of the building, but a lack of industry attention ...

Static behavior of Reinforced UHPFRC beams with thin cover depth

Eugen Brühwiler, Bartlomiej Wojciech Sawicki

Because of its high tensile strength and deformation capacity, UHPFRC (Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious composite) can theoretically be used without any reinforcement bars or prestressing. However, for more economical design and for rea ...

The Effect of Alkali on the Properties of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3)

Karen Scrivener, Wilasinee Hanpongpun

The impact of alkali content on the properties of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3) was investigated in this study. KOH was added in order to increase the alkali content of the blended cements from 0.44% Na2Oeq to 1.21% Na2Oeq. The increase of alkali ac ...
