The mechanics of shear failures in RC slabs based on refined measurements

Reinforced concrete planar members, as slabs and shells, are structural elements commonly used in the construction technique, which are typically designed without the arrangement of shear reinforcement. Despite the fact that this solution allows for fast a ...

The history of fiber-reinforced polymer composite laminate fatigue

Anastasios Vassilopoulos

Investigations of the fatigue performance of composite materials have accompanied their introduction in several engineering domains since the 1950s. An abundance of publications have emerged dealing with the experimental investigation of the fatigue perfor ...

Out-of-plane behaviour of reinforced concrete members with single reinforcement layer subjected to cyclic axial loading: beam-column element simulation

Katrin Beyer, João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida, Angelica Rosso

Earthquake loads can induce out-of-plane deformations in thin reinforced concrete (RC) walls that may lead to member out-of-plane failure or cause a premature in-plane collapse. Such instability phenomena have been observed after the recent earthquakes in ...

Fracture in complex balsa cores of fiber-reinforced polymer sandwich structures

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Julia De Castro San Roman Fest, Michael Osei-Antwi

Fracture in the complex balsa cores of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sandwich beams was analyzed. The cores were composed of high- and low-density balsa layers separated by a circular adhesive interface or FRP arch. The balsa layers were cut from panels w ...

Risk Assessment of Atrial Fibrillation: a Failure Prediction Approach

David Atienza Alonso, Giovanni Ansaloni, Ruben Braojos Lopez, Daniel Camilo Rojas Quirós

We present a methodology for identifying patients who have experienced Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (PAF) among a given subject population. Our work is intended as an initial step towards the design of an unobtrusive portable system for concurrent detect ...

Structural Response of R-UHPFRC - RC Composite Members Subjected to Combined Bending and Shear

Talayeh Noshiravani

The addition of a thin overlay of Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) to Reinforced Concrete (RC) members is an emerging technique to strengthen and protect existing structures and to design durable new structures. Combining UHPFRC wi ...

Numerical study of the effect of confining stress on rock fragmentation by TBM cutters

Lijun Yin

This paper investigates the effect of confining stress on rock fragmentation under TBM cutters by numerical simulation. Firstly, based on the characteristics of the force-penetration curve, the confining stress conditions for TBM tunneling are divided into ...

Shear strength in one- and two-way slabs according to the critical shear crack theory

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz

Currently, there is no generally-accepted theory giving a physical explanation of the shear strength in one- and two-way slabs. Furthermore, for members without transverse reinforcement, shear strength is estimated in most codes of practice following empir ...
