FLO:RE – A new floor system made of reused reinforced concrete and steel elements

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Numa Joy Bertola, Maléna Bastien Masse, Célia Marine Küpfer

Carefully extracting reinforced concrete (RC) elements from soon-to-be demolished structures and reusing them as load-bearing components is an emerging circular low-carbon alternative to building new structures. As floor construction typically accounts for ...

Thermal Modelling and Experimental Validation in the Perspective of Tool Steel Laser Polishing

Eric Boillat, Alexandre Masserey

Laser polishing (LP) is a process that allows a significant reduction of the surface roughness of a metal workpiece via re-melting a shallow layer of material. However, the practical use of LP is limited due to the difficulty of satisfying the high surface ...

APT/TEM characterization of the element segregation in ferritic/martensitic steels after irradiation in SINQ

Lijuan Cui

Ferritic /martensitic (FM) steels are among the most important materials in various nuclear applications. As radiation-induced segregation (RIS) is one of the major factors for embrittlement of nuclear materials, thereofre it is essential to study the RIS ...

Enhancement of riveted steel bridges by adding a trough in UHPFRC acting in composite action

Eugen Brühwiler

Riveted railway bridges are commonly considered as being “old”, having fatigue damage and are therefore replaced. While this practice should be by now obsolete by using novel engineering methods like structural monitoring, prolongation of the service durat ...

Solute-dislocation interactions and creep-enhanced Cu precipitation in a novel ferritic-martensitic steel

Roland Logé, Cyril Cayron

G115 steel has gained a growing interesting recently for its use in next-generation ultra-supercritical power plant applications. Due to the high densities of dislocations and lath martensite boundaries in G115 steel, interactions between solutes and dislo ...

Measurement and prediction of the transformation strain that controls ductility and toughness in advanced steels

William Curtin, Helena Van Swygenhoven, Francesco Maresca

New-generation multi-phase martensitic steels derive their high strength from the body-centered cubic (BCC) phase and high toughness from transformation of the metastable face-centered cubic (FCC) austenite that transforms into martensite upon loading. In ...

Diffraction artefacts from twins and stacking faults, and the mirage of hexagonal, polytypes or other superstructures

Cyril Cayron

Recently, a hexagonal phase has been reported in high carbon steels in several studies. Here, we show that the electron microscopy results used in these studies were erroneously interpreted. The extra-spots in the diffraction patterns and the odd contrasts ...

Multiaxial fatigue analysis of high-strength steel welded joints using generalized local approaches

Martin Antonio René Garcia

The objective of this thesis is to improve methods for predicting the fatigue life, multiaxial or not, of mild- and more particularly high-strength steels using local approaches that have the capacity to be applicable to almost any cases, hence the term ge ...

Advanced analytical electron microscopy applied to Solid Oxide Cell materials and their degradation

Stéphane François Jean Poitel

Electron microscopy offers a wide range of techniques to study materials. Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy (ESEM), in particular, allows the characterisation of samples at high-temperature using a laser heating stage, and under various gaseous at ...

Variant selection in martensitic steels

Annick Pauline Baur

The martensitic phase transformation in steel is one of the most famous solid state transformation because of its contribution in the development of the modern industry. This transformation from a face-centered cubic (FCC) high temperature phase, called th ...

Multiaxial ultra low cycle fatigue in welded high strength steel structural components

Alain Nussbaumer, Albano António De Abreu E Presa De Castro E Sousa

Extreme events often subject regions of structural steel components to large inelastic strains. In conditions such as earthquakes, exceptional winds gusts or tides the loading scenario is cyclical, variable amplitude and frequently multiaxial in nature, an ...

Analysis of High Temperature Degradation of Alloys in Solid Oxide Fuel Cell

Manuel Bianco

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are approaching commercialization to improve power production efficiency. Currently, cost and lifetime reliability limit their spread in the market. The SOFC is ceramic-based, but refractory metal alloys are in fact the major ...

In situ characterization of a high work hardening Ti-6Al-4V prepared by electron beam melting

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Nicola Casati, Karl Alan Sofinowski

A multi-phase Ti-6Al-4V prepared by electron beam melting and thermal post treatments has been shown to exhibit increased strength and ductility over standard wrought or hot isostatic pressed Ti-6-Al-4V. The mechanical improvements are due to a prolonged, ...

Sensitivity of Simulated Steel Column Instabilities to Plasticity Model Assumptions

Dimitrios Lignos, Albano António De Abreu E Presa De Castro E Sousa, Alexander Riley Hartloper

Current experimental studies on the seismic behavior of steel wide-flange columns under multi-axis cyclic loading reveal that these members, depending on their geometric characteristics, may be susceptible to axial shortening, out-of-plane deformations and ...

Numerical simulation of the probability of corrosion initiation of RC elements made of reinforcing steel with improved corrosion performance

Eugen Brühwiler, David Conciatori

Steel reinforcing bars in concrete are protected from corrosion by a thin oxide film that is created on the steel surface in the highly alkaline environment of the concrete. Corrosion process begins once this oxide film is destroyed, for example, by chlori ...

A new hybrid Additive Manufacturing process combining Selective Laser Melting and Laser Shock Peening

Nikola Kalentics

Additive Manufacturing (AM) in whole and especially Selective Laser Melting (SLM) are already making a revolution in the way parts are designed and manufactured with the ability to produce lightweight parts with unprecedented complex geometries which are o ...

Improving the collapse risk of steel structures with high-performance steel

Dimitrios Lignos

With the advent of material science, high-performance steel materials have been developed for seismic applications that potentially reduce the earthquake-induced collapse risk of steel frame buildings. The High Yield Point (HYP400) steel is one of those ma ...

Mechanical properties of MC multimetallic carbides in steel

Lionel Michelet

Carbides constitute a class of materials used for many applications, where excellent mechanical properties, such as stiffness, hardness and fracture toughness, are required. The machining industry is a typical example where carbide are crucial materials. W ...

Response of thin lightly-reinforced concrete walls under cyclic loading

Katrin Beyer, João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida

During the last two decades, thin concrete walls have been frequently used to brace mid- to high-rise buildings in some Latin American countries. This structural system differs significantly in terms of wall geometry and reinforcement layout from tradition ...
