Exploring the potential of the critical shear crack theory for reinforced and post-tensioned glass beams: Initial analysis and experiments

Alain Nussbaumer, Pieter Christian Louter, Jagoda Cupac

In the evolution of structural glass beam elements, the requirements for post-fracture load bearing capacity and safe failure behaviour have led to the development of reinforced and post-tensioned beams. Maximum bending capacity in the post-fracture state ...

Low-tech methods for the reuse of reinforced concrete structural elements

Nicole Widmer, Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Maléna Bastien Masse, Julie Rachel Devènes

Most of existing buildings are made of concrete, new buildings are being built with it and others are demolished when still in good structural condition. This drives increased demands for raw materials, greenhouse gas emissions, and an accumulation of demo ...

Mechanical reinforcement of granular hydrogels

Esther Amstad, Alvaro Lino Boris Charlet, Francesca Bono

Granular hydrogels are composed of hydrogel-based microparticles, so-called microgels, that are densely packed to form an ink that can be 3D printed, injected or cast into macroscopic structures. They are frequently used as tissue engineering scaffolds bec ...

Reinforcing hydrogels with in situ formed amorphous CaCO3

Esther Amstad, Matteo Hirsch, Huachuan Du, Ran Zhao, Michael David Kessler, Tianyu Yuan

Hydrogels are often employed for tissue engineering and moistening applications. However, they are rarely used for load-bearing purposes because of their limited stiffness and the stiffness-toughness compromise inherent to them. By contrast, nature uses hy ...
