The Deformation Capacity of Lap Splices in RC Walls: From Experimental Testing to Numerical Modelling

Danilo Tarquini

Field observations as well as experimental tests have shown that both the strength and displacement capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) members might be significantly reduced by the presence of lap splices. This degradation applies in particular if the lo ...

Stiffness and Strength Estimation of Damaged Unreinforced Masonry Walls Using Crack Pattern

Katrin Beyer

After an earthquake, the residual stiffness and strength of structural elements are typically estimated based on a qualitative visual inspection of cracks that is prone to error. In this paper a new approach is proposed to automatically estimate the update ...

Seismic Stability of Wide-Flange Steel Columns Interacting with Embedded Column Base Connections

Dimitrios Lignos, Hiroyuki Inamasu

The rotational flexibility of column base connections is commonly assumed to be detrimental to the seismic response of steel moment-resisting frames (MRFs) because it increases story drift demands and promotes soft-story formation by lowering the point of ...

Behavior of prestressed CFRP plates bonded to steel substrate: Numerical modeling and experimental validation

Elyas Ghafoori, Masoud Motavalli, Ardalan Hosseini

In recent years, retrofitting of steel structures has emerged as a major issue in structural engineering and construction management. As the adhesive bond is often the critical aspect controlling the actual performance of steel profiles externally strength ...

A model-based data-interpretation framework for post-earthquake building assessment with scarce measurement data

Ian Smith, Pierino Lestuzzi, Yves Sylvain Gilles Reuland

Recent earthquake events throughout the world have once again exposed the vulnerability of buildings with respect to earthquakes. It is unlikely and unsustainable to design and - especially in regions with low-to-moderate seismic hazard – to retrofit all b ...

Stiffness, force and drift capacity of in-plane loaded modern unreinforced brick masonry walls

Bastian Valentin Wilding

In countries of low to moderate seismicity, such as Switzerland, unreinforced masonry (URM) is mainly used in residential buildings due to its good insulation capacity and fire resistance along with a fair compressive strength. URM walls however show a lim ...

Size effect in shear and punching shear failures of concrete members without transverse reinforcement: Differences between statically determinate members and redundant structures

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz

Large efforts have been devoted in the past to understanding size effect in shear failures of members without transverse reinforcement. Experimental works have demonstrated that increasing the size reduces the nominal shear strength provided that the failu ...

The mechanics of punching in reinforced concrete slabs and footings without shear reinforcement

João Tiago Ramos Bernardo de Santa Rita Simões

Punching shear failures of structural concrete members have been the focus of attention of numerous works presented over the last decades. Although various rational approaches have been developed to predict these failures, there is still no unanimity on a ...
