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 ...

Improved thermo-mechanical reliability of anode-supported solid oxide fuel cells

Fabio Greco

Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) based systems are co-generators of electricity and heat that excel for their high efficiency, low pollutant emissions and fuel flexibility. Their reliability is close to meet the requirements for market deployment. Recent resea ...

The influence of through-thickness reinforcement geometry and pattern on delamination of fiber-reinforced composites: Part II - Modeling

John Botsis, Véronique Michaud, Georgios Pappas

This article reports modeling techniques and results based on experimental Mode I characterization of a layered woven GFRP material with tufting reinforcement. Standard tuft and loop-less geometries are investigated on three different areal patterns to eva ...

Dynamic behavior of rock during its post failure stage in SHPB tests

Xin Cai, Yang Zou, Yang Zhao

In order to investigate the micro-process and inner mechanism of rock failure under impact loading, the laboratory tests were carried out on an improved split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) system with synchronized measurement devices including a high-speed ...

Probabilistic failure analysis of riprap as riverbank protection under flood uncertainties

Eugen Brühwiler, Anton Schleiss, Mona Jafarnejad Chaghooshi, Michael Pfister

Existing riverbank riprap could face the risk of failure if the flood regime changes in future. Additionally, changed sediment transport in rivers, as a possible result of climate change, impacts the failure risk of flood protection measures. Evaluation of ...

Time-based failure analysis of compressed riverbank riprap

Charles Pfister, Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Mona Jafarnejad Chaghooshi

Methods to design riprap-lined channels usually refer to dumped material. Large blocks placed individually by machinery are used when more stability is required. They offer additional resistance against flow erosion since space between blocks is minimized ...

Malfunction diagnosis of thermal power plants based on advanced exergy analysis: The case with multiple malfunctions occurring simultaneously

Ligang Wang

During continuous operation of energy systems, the performance of components will mostly, gradually deviate away from the reference conditions due to performance degradation, which may eventually lead to malfunctions or operation failure. The complex inter ...

Post-tensioned glass beams

Jagoda Cupac

Over the last few decades, the application of glass in building construction has extended from small four-side supported windowpanes to areas traditionally reserved for other materials, such as roofs, floors, staircases and full building envelopes. Glass i ...
