Reuse of concrete components in new construction projects: Critical review of 77 circular precedents

Maléna Bastien Masse, Célia Marine Küpfer, Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet

Extracting pieces of concrete from obsolete buildings and reusing them, as is, in new assemblies is today rarely considered a strategy for improving the sustainability of the construction sector. By delaying the crushing of concrete into aggregates and avo ...

A Simple, Closed-Form Method for Determining the Superelevation of Tall Reinforced Concrete Buildings

David Michael Volpe Ruggiero, Paola Costanza Miglietta

The vertical shortening of tall buildings is not negligible, and it is important to account for these deformations to minimize differential movement and ensure that the finished building is level. Compensation via superelevation is common in reinforced con ...

Automatic and high-precision acoustic emission-based structural health monitoring of concrete structures

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Seyyedmaalek Momeni

Acoustic emission (AE) monitoring is a useful technique to monitor the health of a structure continuously, helping to prevent potential failure. AE are elastic waves produced and emitted during fracture processes inside a material and are recorded by senso ...

Reliability analysis and partial safety format calibration considering the characteristics of the resistance of reinforced concrete structures

Qianhui Yu

Every engineering calculation is an approximation of reality, with inevitable uncertainties involved. This fact implies that a reliability verification accounting for the uncertainties is a necessary step in the design and assessment of structures. Nowaday ...

Influence of sustained loading on resistance and deformation capacity of reinforced concrete members in compression

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Xhemsi Malja

As acknowledged explicitly or implicitly in most of current design codes, a high level of sustained loading has a detrimental effect on the concrete compressive strength. However, its beneficial effect in terms of deformation capacity is neglected in most ...

Distributed Fibre Optic Thermo-hygrometer for Monitoring the Concrete Curing

Luc Thévenaz, Kenny Hey Tow, Tiago Filipe Pimentel Das Neves

The moisture content in concrete is a critical parameter for most of the degradation processes such as shrinkage and cracking. In this paper, we present the first kilometre-range thermo-hygrometer for monitoring the concrete curing. ...

Validation of bond models for the crack width estimation based on detailed measurements

Aurelio Muttoni, Enrique Corres Sojo

Crack formation and development in reinforced concrete structures is a complex mechanism affected by a large number of factors. Typically, the estimation of the crack width as a function of the reinforce-ment stress state is based on simplified assumptions ...

Considerations on the partial safety factor format for reinforced concrete structures accounting for multiple failure modes

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Qianhui Yu

The increasing usage of nonlinear analyses for the design of reinforced concrete structures and the necessity of codes of practice to provide a consistent safety format for them is one of the challenges that new generations of codes of practice are facing. ...
