On the preservation of reinforced concrete architectural masterpieces: The challenges of the REcube project

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The preservation of reinforced concrete masterpieces from the 20th century poses a complex challenge. These structures often combine architectural, historical, and technological value, which standard engineering codes and conservation practices are not fully equipped to address. The Erasmus+ REcube project responded to this gap by promoting an

Finite Element Modeling of Strengthened Beams Using CFRP

open access: yesJournal of Building Materials and Structures, 2019
Deteriorating and damage of some structural elements influence negatively their strength and the bearing capacity. However, it is necessary to take some measures improve structural performance.

Design philosophy issues of fiber reinforced polymer reinforced concrete structures

open access: yes, 2002
The conventional design philosophy for reinforced concrete (RC) relies heavily on the ductile properties of steel. These ductile properties are used as a "fuse" and conceal the large uncertainty in the determination of modes of failure caused ...

Spherical functions on the space of $p$-adic unitary hermitian matrices [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We investigate the space $X$ of unitary hermitian matrices over $\frp$-adic fields through spherical functions. First we consider Cartan decomposition of $X$, and give precise representatives for fields with odd residual characteristic, i.e., $2\notin ...

Computational intelligence model for predicting the compressive strength of FRP‐confined concrete column

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) wrapping technology is commonly used to enhance the compressive strength (CS) of reinforced concrete (RC) members. Accurate prediction of the compressive strength of FRP‐confined concrete columns is crucial for optimizing structural design and helps reduce the time and costs associated with physical testing ...

Cálculo en agotamiento de secciones de fábrica reforzadas a flexión con láminas de FRP

open access: yesInformes de la Construccion, 2015
Las estructuras de fábrica apenas tienen capacidad para resistir tracciones lo que las hace vulnerables ante acciones desestabilizantes de tipo accidental, como terremotos, o cuando sufren daños que alteran su geometría, por ejemplo, por asientos ...

Numerical analysis of debonding behavior of FRP sheets bonded to concrete focusing on mortar skin

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper proposes a novel simple method for finite element analysis (FEA) to simulate the debonding behavior of fiber‐reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets bonded to concrete. This study focuses on the mortar skin of the concrete surface layer, which fails during FRP sheet debonding.

Revitalization of Cracked Flexural Members using Retrofitting and Synthetic Wrapping [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The modification of the Indonesia earthquake code SNI 2002 to SNI 2012 resulted in a significantly higher performance demand. The basics of these amendments lay in the re-zoning of earthquake maps, and the consideration of the earthquake influence to ...

Evaluations of the effectiveness of the near‐surface mounted steel materials in strengthening short RC wall‐like columns with openings

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract In practice, reinforced concrete (RC) wall‐like columns often have openings to facilitate building services, which creates stress concentrations around the opening, resulting in the weakening of their load‐carrying capacity. This study proposes innovative strengthening methods using near‐surface mounted (NSM) incorporating steel materials to ...

A fracture-mechanics model for debonding of external fibre reinforced polymer plates on reinforced concrete beams

open access: yes, 2006
A Fracture-mechanics model for debonding of external fibre reinforced polymer plates on reinforced concrete beams is presented. The conventional methods of concrete-FRP interface analysis use finite element models, which require details of unknown and ...
