Transverse cracking in the bulk and at the free edge of thin-ply composites: experiments and multiscale modelling

John Botsis, Robin Amacher, Joël Cugnoni, Sébastien Kohler

Thin-ply composites were shown to exhibit significantly delayed transverse cracking, but the linear onset of damage scaling with ply thickness reported by Amacher et al. (2014) did not correspond to the established LEFM based in situ strength model. This s ...

Kinetics of mixing-water repartition in UHPFRC paste and its effect on hydration and microstructural development

Eugen Brühwiler, Karen Scrivener, Emmanuel Denarié, Mohammadhadi Kazemi Kamyab, Arnaud Charles Albert Muller

The hydration of an ultra-high performance fibre reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) paste with a water to cement ratio of 0.18 was followed by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) alongside more classical techniques for hydration kinetics, and microstructu ...

Towards aerospace grade thin-ply composites: Effect of ply thickness, fibre, matrix and interlayer toughening on strength and damage tolerance

John Botsis, Joël Cugnoni, Larissa Sorensen, Robin Amacher, Sébastien Kohler

Thin-ply composites represent a promising approach to further improve the performance of carbon fibre composite structures thanks to their ability to delay the onset of matrix cracking and delamination up to the point of fibre dominated failure. However, t ...

Aramid/glass fiber-reinforced thermal break - thermal and structural performance

Thomas Keller, Julia De Castro San Roman Fest, Kyriaki Goulouti

Energetically weak points in thermally insulated building envelopes are formed by thermal breaks that are implemented to structurally connect external balconies to internal slabs. Current thermal breaks comprise stainless steel bars that penetrate the insu ...

Aramid/glass fiber-reinforced thermal break - Structural system performance

Thomas Keller, Julia De Castro San Roman Fest, Kyriaki Goulouti

Energetically critical points in thermally insulating building envelopes are caused by penetrations of building interior concrete slabs through the envelope insulation layers to create external balconies. A new highly insulating balcony thermal break eleme ...

Testing of RF 100 m TF Qualification Conductor in the SULTAN Test Facility

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Boris Stepanov

A conductor for ITER toroidal field (TF) coils is the cable-in-conduit conductor (CICC) type, which is made of Nb3Sn superconducting strands encased in a stainless steel tubular jacket. A 120-m-long prototype has been designed in accordance with ITER requi ...

Lowering the global warming impact of bridge rehabilitations by using Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concretes

Emmanuel Denarié, Pierre Rossi

Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC)is charact erized by aunique combination of extremely low permeability, high strength and deformability. Extensive R&D works and applications over the last 10 years have demonstrated that cast on sit ...

Cementitious matrices for high performance fibre reinforced cement composites (HPFRCC), in particular ultra-high performance fibre reinforced concretes (UHPFRC)

Emmanuel Denarié

A cementitious matrix for Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) containing the following constituents (in % mass of dry mix): a) 25 to 65 % Portland cement type CEM I; b) 25 to 70 % of Limestone filler; c) 5 to 15 % ultrafine mineral ad ...

Une approche multi-échelles de la rhéologie des suspensions concentrées de fibres

Ce travail présente une étude de la rhéologie de suspensions de fibres concentrées baignant dans une matrice de type fluide en loi puissance. La méthode d’homogénéisation des structures discrètes est utilisée pour passer de la physique à l’échelle des fibr ...

Rheology of highly concentrated planar fiber suspensions

The rheology of highly concentrated fibers suspended in power-law fluids is investigated by upscaling the physics at the fiber scale. A deterministic upscaling technique is used, namely the homogenization method for periodic discrete structures. This micro ...

SAMARIS D22 - Full scale application of UHPFRC for the rehabilitation of bridges – from the lab to the field

Emmanuel Denarié

The premature deterioration of reinforced concrete structures is a heavy burden for society. In order to manage structures effectively and to reduce this burden to the minimum, the number and extent of interventions have to be kept to the lowest possible l ...

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 ...
