Moment resisting connections composed of friction-welded spruce boards: experimental investigations and numerical strength prediction

Yves Weinand, Till Vallée, Bernhard Stamm, Benjamin Hahn

Research on friction welded wood-to-wood connections has shown high potential for further development regarding the industrial application of timber construction. This paper addresses the question to which extent welding of wood can be applied to fabricati ...

Effective stiffness of reinforced concrete coupling beams

Katrin Beyer

Reinforced concrete (RC) structural walls with coupling beams are widely used as the primary lateral-load-bearing elements in high-rise building structures. Many researches have shown that there is uncertainty in the estimation of the effective stiffness o ...

Understanding Poor Seismic Performance of Concrete Walls and Design Implications

Katrin Beyer

The 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes in New Zealand revealed (1) improved structural response resulting from historical design advancements, (2) poor structural performance due to previously identified shortcomings that had been insufficiently addressed in ...

Modelling shear–flexure interaction in equivalent frame models of slender reinforced concrete walls

Katrin Beyer, Panagiotis Mergos

Quasi-static cyclic tests on reinforced concrete (RC) walls have shown that shear deformations can constitute a significant ratio of the total deformations when the wall is loaded beyond the elastic regime. For slender RC walls that form a stable flexural ...

Mixed-Mode Static and Fatigue Failure Criteria for Adhesively-Bonded FRP Joints

Moslem Shahverdi

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are increasingly used in many load-bearing structures. Joints are the most critical structural elements as they often become the weak links in engineering structures. Bonding and bolting are two of the main joini ...
