Influence of model uncertainty and long term deformations in action effects calculation in reinforced concrete structures

Xhemsi Malja

Most codes of practice adopt a semi probabilistic design approach for the dimensioning and assessment of structures. Accordingly, structural safety is ensured by performing limit state verifications using design values determined with adequately calibrated ...

Hysteretic Behaviour of Shear Stud Connectors in Composite Steel Moment‐Resisting Frames

Dimitrios Lignos, Hammad El Jisr

In steel moment resisting frames (MRFs) with composite floor slabs, seismic loads are transmitted from the slab into the beam through shear studs. Shear strength degradation of the studs due to cyclic loading results into the loss of the load transfer mech ...

Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is reused: structural design for a circular economy

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting

Structural designers’ efforts to reduce environmental impacts traditionally consist of developing systems that minimise material quantities or use low-impact materials. A third strategy is currently (re)emerging: the reuse of structural components over mul ...

Constitutive modelling of unsaturated soils with hydro-geomechanical couplings

Mathieu Nuth

Even though the saturation in water of most natural and engineered soils is partial, constitutive models in geotechnical engineering have long made the assumption of complete saturation. The increasing knowledge of the rheological behaviour of unsaturated ...
